Jun. 29th, 2019 12:24 am...the common
fate of human
reason
in speculation,
to finish
the imposing
edifice of thought
as rapidly
as possible,
and then for
the first time
to begin to
examine whether
the foundation
is a solid one
or no.
Arrived at this point,
all sorts of
excuses
are sought after,
in order to
console us
for its want
of stability, or
rather, indeed,
to enable us
to dispense altogether
with so late
and dangerous an investigation.
--- Immanuel Kant. The Critique of Pure Reason.
