Just read the three Critques. No need for anything else.

Start with Prolegomena To Any Future Metaphysics

C'mon now, anon.

I tried reading the Prolegomena early on while going through the first Critique, and I felt like the explanations Kant put in the Prolegomena weren't sufficiently explanatory for me in comparison to the CPR.

>>14395695
You can start by not calling him such horrible, mean names.

>>14396313
I mean, he's not entirely wrong.

>>14395695
Why bother? He was already retroactively refuted in Rene Guenon's brilliant Introduction to the Study of the Hindu Doctrines.

>>14396313
still less offensive than calling him by his literal name

Kant claimed that it wasn't possible for humans to have intellectual intuition because he couldn't think of how it was possible (Guenon succinctly and accurately flays him in 'Intro to Hindu Doctines' for wishing to impose the limits of his own ignorance upon others). The supreme irony is that Kant himself in his first critique admitted that God would have to have intellectual intuition because otherwise He would be subject to limits which could not be true as any true supreme God is unlimited. As the Upanishads state that God is really the inner Self of all beings it provides the explanation in accordance with Kant's thought for how they can experience intellectual intuition (i.e. it's really God inside their consciousness who has this intuition) but because Kant never left Konigsberg he never had the chance to be initiated into the metaphysical teachings and associated spiritual practices which allow someone to do this.

Women threw themselves at Kant

>>14396313
There's nothing horrible or mean about them tho

>>14396730
His ethics were BTFO by Taleb

>>14396730
That's dealt with in his second Critique.

>>14396732
And I will throw myself out the fucking window.

>durr suicide is bad that's what media told me so capitalism has enough workers, corporations have enough consumers, public institutions have less drama to deal with, "happiness" levels are inflated, misery is hidden

sub 105 pseudo intellectual edgelord

>>14396872
You're a deluded midwit

>>14395905
probably worth reading the prolegomena and groundwork as well

>>14396811
>mfw capitalism invented suicide being bad

>>14396811
Even if media promotion of suicide prevention were for all of those purposes, how does that prove suicide is not in fact bad?

>>14397449
No, capitalism perpetues it and it's where today's "don't kill yourself bro" midwits take their ideas. In the middle ages they'd take the same ideas from the church.

>>14396640
Is it just me, or guenonfag has really lost it? He wasn't this bad before, was he?
