But of course no Kantians ever wants to talk about why Kant rejected
man's senses, his eyes ears nose feel and touch as the ONLY means he
has to trigger the mind for ALL of his knowledge, of the existence of
matter outside of his mind, in othe words there's no such thing as
innate inborn knowledge.
Kant version goes like this, the eyes and ears and skin sense, say an
explosion, and send a message to the brain of the sensory evidence,
the brain ignores ALL 3 of those signals, but those signals in reality
are all that the brain has to prompt the brian to tell the eyes ears
and skin that they aint seen heard felt anything until the brain has
identified what they've seen heard and felt and if the brain cant
identiify them from the knowledge gven to it at birth (innate for
****'s sake) then Kant's primacy state of consciousness, for ****'s
sake, instructs the eyes ears and nose that they must un-see un-hear
and un-feel that explosion.
And of course no Kantian ever wants to define precsiely what Kant
meant by the concept knowledge, how Kant seperated and identified the
concept knowledge from all other concepts, such as space and time and
distance and weight.
Why is that pico?
Why dont you be the first Kantian ever in the history of the dopey
git, to explain what purpose Kant claimed man's senses e.g. his eyes
and ears have to help man's mind gain its knowledge of the concepts
numbers, space, time and intuition.
