Immanuel Kant
Image
Reason in a creature is a faculty of widening the rules and purposes of the use of all its powers far beyond natural instinct it acknowledges no limits to its projects. Reason itself does not work instinctively, but requires trial, practice, and instruction in order gradually to progress from one level of insight to another.
Immanuel Kant
Image

Immanuel Kant
Image

Immanuel Kant
Image
Experience without theory is blind, but theory without experience is mere intellectual play.
Immanuel Kant
