Academia and Kant

Hello Rabbi, I would be happy to address two questions on different topics:
1. What is the rabbi’s opinion regarding academic studies such as women and human rights? Is there a particular science or Torah in them that is worth pursuing, or are these areas of interest that arose due to postmodern discourse and do not contain any actual Torah?
2. Regarding the Rabbi’s criticism in the book Two Circles of Kant’s analytical concept, what actually prevents us from accepting that transcendental idealism is the one with which we know the world without belief in any correlative factor between reason and the world itself? And how does the train to Scotland prove belief in the existence of such a correlative factor? Why, if there were no belief in a correlative factor, would we not get off the train, since it is still possible to say that because this is the way in which we know the world, we get off the train every time we see a sign?
Thank you very much.
