I think old Kant would be very impressed with the Nexus Attitude. A lot of the things he wrote jive very well.

Here is a really nice summary of Kant's metaphysics. At the time his particular brand of idealism was fairly new but some of you here at the Nexus may find it very familiar. Even if you are not very familiar with Kant.

I would call it 'scientific idealism' and it is hard to disagree with. It leads to the kind of metaphysical agnosticism that seems popular in this community.

Listen to the podcast (~20 minutes) and share what you think. This is a really brilliant summary of some very complex writings.

Kant has very much inspired me. Thank you very much for posting this coffee time.

Cornerstone imo. It is essential to understand what he means by a priori knowledge and the thing in itself.
He was the first to explain the limits of perception? (science ; )
Has he been proven wrong?

Spectacular!! Speculate! Ahum... i mean spectacles...

I know that you believe you understand what you think I said, but I'm not sure you realize that what you heard is not what I meant.

Attempting to find the limit on perception goes all the way back to Plato. However, pre-Kant this was mostly done by allegory. Kant was the first to do this in a very systematic way with carefully defined terms etc. This makes Kant very important but also very difficult.

Kant is very much respected by modern philosophers and scientists alike. He is the father of peer-review in science for example.
