I appreciate Kant much more than our last reading. The discussion of a priori vs a posteriori gave me quite a bit of contentment with myself and the world philosophically. He leaves plenty of breathing room for both reasoning and inspiration. This was something I have found lacking so far.
Yet, I have issues with his comment that even still all knowledge comes from some sort of experience. If all of our knowledge is sparked by something we've experienced, that is something outside of ourselves, can there then be anything in existence that is truly original? He carries on about us blazing our own trail, but if we have to experience exterior sources for this to happen, can we really attain that which he prescribes? Even then we'd be following his idea and not our own. At its core our intent would not be original because he gave us the idea to do so.
I commented on the blog of Eva. ✌🏾️
