Kant quote of the day

[Anonymous No.22341733]

>[Critique of Pure Reason] will render an important service to the inquiring mind of youth, by leading the student to apply his powers to the cultivation of genuine science, instead of wasting them, as at present, on speculations which can never lead to any result, or on the idle attempt to invent new ideas and opinions. But, above all, it will confer an inestimable benefit on morality and religion, by showing that all the objections urged against them may be silenced for ever by the Socratic method, that is to say, by proving the ignorance of the objector. For, as the world has never been, and, no doubt, never will be without a system of metaphysics of one kind or another, it is the highest and weightiest concern of philosophy to render it powerless for harm, by closing up the sources of error.

Reminder that without Rousseau there would be no Kant. It is clear that most of what he wrote he had Rousseau in mind.

i just watched this movie called The Last Days of Immanuel Kant (kino and free on youtube) where he had a picture of Rousseau by his bed and I during his youtube Kant lecture series Robert Paul Wolff mentioned when he was a student his professor told him to read Rousseau's Emile to really understand Kant. Do with this what you will.
