**Kant on language, culture and politics**

"_Indeed, he seems not to have anticipated the role that the concept of language was to play in twentieth century Anglo-American analytical philosophy, nor does he foresee the sometimes-devastating role that linguistic and ethnic national divisions were to play in nineteenth and twentieth century European politics._"

@bibliolater Kant was a child of enlightenment. What he really brought in was the notion of sense-making by the subject. This was a major departure from mos geometricus. This said, we'll always need to revisit rejected systems of philosophy in order to understand our place in the reality that mankind constructs; nature provides little guidance.
