Single Idea 21462

[from 'Critique of Pure Reason' by Immanuel Kant, in 1. Philosophy / E. Nature of Metaphysics / 3. Metaphysical Systems ]

Full Idea

Unusually, Kant's system has continued to seem possible, to some degree, to endorse as a whole, as opposed to an edifice that has most to offer by being dismantled.

Gist of Idea

It is still possible to largely accept Kant as a whole (where others must be dismantled)

A Reaction

I think Aristotle passes this test, but Plato has to be dismantled. No one ever swallows Leibniz whole. I suppose Hume can be taken complete, but only because of his minimal commitments.
