…ineluctable modality of the visible time, the ineluctable modality of the audible causality, the causal chain, these are exactly what Kant and Schopenhauer called the forms of sensibility, the a priori forms of sensibility which shut us around and shut us…
…you call it back within a mile of a boat in the Pacific ocean. That was known a priori by functioning of the mind. Kant asks this question: how is it that mathematical calculations that can be made in this place can be known to work over in that…
…what the laws of space were up there. So the laws of space are the laws of our mind and this is a point that Kant brings out here and he asks in his introduction to metaphysics: how is it? That we can predict with apodictic certainty the laws of a…
…now we know Galileo already told us the laws of earth are the laws of the movements of the planets. More than that, Kant asked: how is it that I can calculate the geometrical measurements of the space here and know that these measurements will hold in…
…And the answer they gave was newton. And to me this was one of these great statements that you don't often hear. Kant asked the question: how is it that I can this is in his introduction to metaphysics that I can make mathematical calculations…
…are within the womb of maya. We are within her womb. It is the womb of space, time and causal relationships, what Kant calls the a priori forms of sensibility. This is exactly maya and this is exactly why following Kant, Schopenhauer was able point…

…you're asking about something that transcends all the categories of thought, categories of thought, being non being true, false. These are, as Kant points out in the critique of pure reason, functions of our mode of experience and all life has to come to…
…world as will and idea, which was already formed in his mind by about 1818, you realise I can't understand this until I've read Kant. So then you have to go back another notch to Immanuel Kant, and this is not so easy. Schopenhauer says of Kant: Kant…

…for times and spaces that you have not yet visited? It's because these forms are in the mind. And these are what Kant discusses in that first section of the critique of pure reason which is called transcendental aesthetic. And by the word aesthetic he…

…the very fact that we are thinking of it that is to say that reason is only capable of thinking in terms of what Kant calls categories of thought. Even the largest ideas god, infinity, truth itself are limited by the human mind's need to think in terms…
…the image, breaking you past the words so that things should point past themselves. Rhythm has a lot to do with this. Okay, Kant tells us all of our perceiving and thinking is conditioned by the a priori forms of our sensibility, time and space and of…
…He's easy to read, that's not cricket. The ideas that he got were extremely lucidly presented. Just at the time that Kant wrote his critique of pure reason, Europe was beginning to learn about oriental philosophy. There was a young frenchman, Anquetil Du…
