Things which we see are not by themselves what we see ... It remains completely unknown to us what the objects may be by themselves and apart from the receptivity of our senses. We know nothing but our manner of perceiving them.
Immanuel Kant

Do the right thing because it is right.
Immanuel Kant

Immanuel Kant

Ghost stories are always listened to and well received in private, but pitilessly disavowed in public. For my own part, ignorant as I am of the way in which the human spirit enters the world and the way in which he goes out of it, I dare not deny the truth of many such narratives.
Immanuel Kant
Image
The greatest problem for the human species, the solution of which nature compels him to seek, is that of attaining a civil society which can administer justice universally.
Immanuel Kant
Image
We ourselves introduce that order and regularity in the appearance which we entitle nature. We could never find them in appearances had we not ourselves, by the nature of our own mind, originally set them there.
Immanuel Kant
Image
All appearances are real and negatio sophistical: All reality must be sensation.
Immanuel Kant
Image
The greatest human quest is to know what one must do in order to become a human being.
Immanuel Kant
Image
Philosophy stands in need of a science which shall determine the possibility, principles, and extent of human knowledge à priori.
Immanuel Kant
Image
The question is not so much whether there is life on Mars as whether it will continue to be possible to live on Earth
