In contrast, Kant's theoretical reason stigmatizes in the most extreme way that it is incapable of grasping the real, the thing in itself. The thing in itself makes impressions on man, but he can only live in his mental images, in his own concepts. Now we would actually have to go deep into the history of Kant's philosophy if we wanted to characterize Kant's devastating fundamental error; but that would take us too far away from our task. - Incidentally, you will find all you need to know about this in my “Truth and Science”.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"12.
