Humanity is at its greatest perfection in the race of the whites.
Immanuel Kant
Image
Experience without theory is blind, but theory without experience is mere intellectual play.
Immanuel Kant
Image
I freely admit that the remembrance of David Hume was the very thing that many years ago first interrupted my dogmatic slumber and gave a completely different direction to my researches in the field of speculative philosophy.
Immanuel Kant
Image
There is a limit where the intellect fails and breaks down, and this limit is where the questions concerning God and freewill and immortality arise.
Immanuel Kant
Image
I am an investigator by inclination. I feel a great thirst for knowledge.
Immanuel Kant
Image
Act so that the maxim of your act could be made the principle of a universal law.
Immanuel Kant
Image
Intuition and concepts constitute... the elements of all our knowledge, so that neither concepts without an intuition in some way corresponding to them, nor intuition without concepts, can yield knowledge.
Immanuel Kant
Image
The history of the human race, viewed as a whole, may be regarded as the realization of a hidden plan of nature to bring about a political constitution, internally, and for this purpose, also externally perfect, as the only state in which all the capacities implanted by her in mankind can be fully developed.
Immanuel Kant

Immanuel Kant
Image

Immanuel Kant
Image
If I am to constrain you by any law, it must be one by which I am also bound.
Immanuel Kant

Immanuel Kant

Law And Freedom without Violence (Anarchy) Law And Violence without Freedom (Despotism) Violence without Freedom And Law (Barbarism) Violence with Freedom And Law (Republic)
Immanuel Kant
Image
What can I know? What ought I to do? What may I hope?
Immanuel Kant
Image
Religion is too important a matter to its devotees to be a subject of ridicule. If they indulge in absurdities, they are to be pitied rather than ridiculed.
Immanuel Kant
Image
Physicians think they are doing something for you by labeling what you have as a disease
Immanuel Kant
Image
There can be no doubt that all our knowledge begins with experience.
Immanuel Kant
Image
Our knowledge springs from two fundamental sources of the mind the first is the capacity of receiving representations (receptivity for impressions), the second is the power of knowing an object through these representations (spontaneity [in the production] of concepts).
Immanuel Kant
Image
You only know me as you see me, not as I actually am
Immanuel Kant
Image
All appearances are real and negatio sophistical: All reality must be sensation.
Immanuel Kant
