12. Knowledge Sources / A. A Priori Knowledge / 3. Innate Knowledge / a. Innate knowledge

21081	We are equipped with the a priori intuitions needed for the concept of right [Kant]
	Full Idea: Reason has taken care that the understanding is as fully equipped as possible with a priori intuitions for the construction of the concept of right.
	From: Immanuel Kant (Metaphysics of Morals I: Doctrine of Right [1797], Intro E)
	A reaction: A priori intuitions are not the same as innate knowledge or innate concepts, but they must require some sort of inbuilt inner resources. Further evidence that Kant is a rationalist philosopher (if we were unsure).
