>"The light dove, cleaving the air in her free flight, and fleeing its resistance, might imagine that its flight would be still easier in empty space. It was thus that Plato left the world of the senses, as setting too narrow limits to the understanding, and ventured out beyond it on the wings of the ideas, in the empty space of the pure understanding." (A5, B9)

Kant's critiques are hyperautistic but they do contain some wisdom that was successfully elaborated upon by the likes of Deleuze so he's definitely worth a read, even if only to gain understanding in superceding writings by others.
