So I’m reading up on Kant, and he does a thorough job of debunking early modern day rationalism and empiricism, but I’m noticing some flaws in his own replacement philosophy. Kant doesn’t really explain why other cultures conceive different interpretations of subjects such as time, space, plurality, causality, among other things. Does he ever address this?

because they have differing explanations for it. doesn't change the fact that it's fundamentally a faculty of the mind. a tribe could indulge in cannibalism, but that doesn't change the fact that cannibalism is morally wrong.

It's the same reason why other cultures have different forms of 'science' like shamanism, medicine men, star readers, etc. His whole task was showing reason is scientific.

Ye dude, I bet when an Indian walks around his house he doesn't perceive its sides successively, but rather sees them simultaneously.

The purpose is precisely to not allow that to happen. He shuns other ways of <experiencing> the world (as they are lock down in the first 2 chapters through a priori reasoning), relegating them to reason exceeding solid grounds .

He writes a ton about other people in his Anthropology texts and taught a course in Geography(despite never having left his small town).

It's Anthropology from a Pragmatic Point of view. Borderline racist though
