“Without the sensuous faculty no object would be given to us, without understanding no object would be thought. Thoughts without content are void, intuitions without conceptions, blind.” Immanuel Kant, “Critique of Pure Reason“, 1781)
“The discovery of truth by slow, progressive meditation is talent. Intuition of the truth, not preceded by perceptible meditation, is genius.” (Johann K Lavater, 1787)
"Pure mathematics can never deal with the possibility, that is to say, with the possibility of ani ntuition answering to the conceptions of the things. Hence it cannot touch the question of causea nd effect, and consequently, all the finality there observed must always be regarded simply as formal, and never as a physical end.” (Immanuel Kant, "The Critique of Judgement", 1790)
“If the human mind is nonetheless to be able even to think the given infinite without contradiction, it must have within itself a power that is supersensible, whose idea of the noumenon cannot be intuited but can yet be regarded as the substrate underlying what is mere appearance, namely, our intuition of the world [worldview]." (Immanuel Kant, “Critique of Judgment”, 1790)
