    So I was reading some of his work, mostly, the critique of pure reason, and I was pondering the mind-placing-sensations and I think kant was right, we dont hear a ringing in our ears we hear the phone ring from ten feet away...
    does anyone have any opinions supporting or disagreeing his ideas of the mind's love for order, and automatic sensation ordering...???
    OR anyone opinions about kant at all...

    Do we acctually even hear?...

    What is sound, is it not just our brains interpreting waves in the air as "sound"?

    We don't hear the phone in our ears, we don't hear it ten feet away, we sense vibrations and our brain says "hey dummie, thats a ring, ring riiiiiiiiing sound"..

    But thats just my opinion...

    We hear we see we touch we smell we feel and we desire to understand when we think. When we think, we hear we see we touch we smell we feel and we desire to understand.

    Immanuel Kant was a real pissant
    Who was very rarely stable.
    Heidegger, Heidegger was a boozy beggar
    Who could think you under the table.
    David Hume could out-consume
    Schopenhauer and Hegel,
    And Wittgenstein was a beery swine
    Who was just as schloshed as Schlegel.
    There's nothing Nietzsche couldn't teach ya
    'Bout the raising of the wrist.

    John Stuart Mill, of his own free will,
    On half a pint of shandy was particularly ill.
    Plato, they say, could stick it away
    Half a crate of whiskey every day.
    Aristotle, Aristotle was a bugger for the bottle,
    Hobbes was fond of his dram,
    And Rene Descartes was a drunken fart:
    "I drink, therefore I am"
    Yes, Socrates, himself, is particularly missed;
    A lovely little thinker but a bugger when he's pissed!

    We All Shine On, I'm amazed that you understand Kants writings especially at age 16!

    i think most of Kants work is total shit :p but i do think that our minds like order we are logical beings after all, i think that our minds place order and logic onto our experiences so that they make more sense to us.
