Immanuel Kant - Quote of the week

"Criticism alone can sever the root of materialism, fatalism, atheism, free-thinking, fanaticism, and superstition, which can be injurious universally; as well as of idealism and skepticism, which are dangerous chiefly to the Schools, and hardly allow of being handed on to the public" 
-Immanuel Kant

-Critique of Pure Reason (1781, 1787) Preface to 2nd edition, B xxxiv

    Everytime you post about Immanuel Kant, I get that Monty Python song stuck in my head...

    Dude, I might have to give my geek card back, you know why? I haven't ever watched the Monty Python movies! I've been told many times I need to watch them.
