Time is nothing but the form of inner sense.

A student asked Immanuel Kant, famous Kantian thinker:
"Hey Kant if a tree falls in a forest and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound?"
What did Kant answer?

Kant looks pretty good there, considering he looked like a goblin in real life.

>The republican constitution, besides the purity of its origin (having sprung from the pure source of the concept of law), also gives a favorable prospect for the desired consequence, i.e., perpetual peace. The reason is this: if the consent of the citizens is required in order to decide that war should be declared (and in this constitution it cannot but be the case), nothing is more natural than that they would be very cautious in commencing such a poor game, decreeing for themselves all the calamities of war. Among the latter would be: having to fight, having to pay the costs of war from their own resources, having painfully to repair the devastation war leaves behind, and, to fill up the measure of evils, load themselves with a heavy national debt that would embitter peace itself and that can never be liquidated on account of constant wars in the future. But, on the other hand, in a constitution which is not republican, and under which the subjects are not citizens, a declaration of war is the easiest thing in the world to decide upon, because war does not require of the ruler, who is the proprietor and not a member of the state, the least sacrifice of the pleasures of his table, the chase, his country houses, his court functions, and the like. He may, therefore, resolve on war as on a pleasure party for the most trivial reasons, and with perfect indifference leave the justification which decency requires to the diplomatic corps who are ever ready to provide it.

Immanuel Kant

>tfw reading an edition that doesn't have an introduction by some competent philosopher who digests the whole book for you so you don't have to read Kant alone.

What does /lit/ think of Immature Kant?

What is the best secondary source book about Kant to read as an intro to his ideas?
I want to read him, but I know he has the reputation of being the most un-readable philosopher and writes like an autist.
>inb4 Just read the Critique bro

Why do Kantians care about Kant's physical manifestation so much. Isn't that a little inconsistent with his philosophy, both in terms of the deontological ethic of radical honesty and also in the matter of Kant as Ding an Sich?

>I began to have fantasies of becoming very powerful and stopping everyone from having sex. I wanted to take their sex away from them, just like they took it away from me. I saw sex as an evil and barbaric act, all because I was unable to have it.

Based and Kantpilled

Just more conformation of the fact that philosophy is something used by beta males to cope with the fact that they can't get laid.

What about The Critique of Pure Reason?

autismos perfecta

Another picture to solidify my thesis.

Please tell me what contributions he made have ANY merit today whatsoever. His view about sense data is peasant-tier; everything stems from experience, including your conception of space and time.
