The difficulty with Kant’s method
Good morning Rabbi,
In your book “True and Unstable,” while scanning the data, you mentioned Kant’s method and the difficulty in it. Could the Rabbi explain things a little?
I don’t understand, Kant supposedly claims that all “lawfulness” is not embedded in nature but is constructed from our category. Like glasses that I wear and therefore see reality that way. But I can’t even understand what the claim is here: According to this, when I act according to a certain lawfulness – how do I manage to achieve reality (the thing in itself)? If lawfulness is only in my eyes, how can I be certain that what I do tomorrow according to lawfulness will be consistent with the actual reality in which I act?!
Thank you in advance.
It’s not certain, but Kant thought that this is a way of thinking that is built into us and therefore will always accompany us. I see no point in defending a position that I disagree with.
Hello Rabbi, my question was what is the reason because I can't understand the process.
Why if it is inherent in our way of thinking should it be useful in reality itself? Which is the main question
Why does His Honor think this speaks for itself?
I understand that this speaks for me and as long as I have these ‘glasses’ then the situation will remain.
I didn't understand.
