Note 13. To the Subsection “The Stage of Understanding and the Stage of Reason”
Kant wrote, “All our knowledge starts with the senses, proceeds from thence to understanding, and ends with reason, beyond which there is no higher faculty to be found in us…. Reason, like understanding, can be employed in a merely formal, that is, logical manner, wherein it abstracts from all content of knowledge.” Critique of Pure Reason, trans. Kemp Smith (London: The Macmillan Press Ltd., 1950), 300.
