NEVER:
- Ask a MAN his SALARY
- Ask a WOMAN her AGE
- Ask IMMANUEL KANT whether THE EMPIRICAL SYNTHESIS OF THE WORLD SERIES CAN BE ABSOLUTELY DETERMINED THROUGH THE APPLICATION OF TRANSCENDENTAL CONCEPTS
(why is this section so damn long???)

“Now it is indeed very illuminating they I cannot cognize as an object itself that which I must presuppose in order to cognize an object at all…”
DESTROYED

A section on the “paralogisms of pure reason” begins by demolishing any rational *proof* the human soul exists. He denies our (postulated) “real selves” are objects of intuition. At one point he gets in a pretty good (though veiled) Newton’s Cradle analogy for the human mind. This would be edge of your seat stuff in anyone else’s hands, but Kant knows how to show you a bad time. 10/10 BANGER
