Immanuel Kant on reason
Immanuel Kant (1724–1804) approaches reason within German idealism. The mind’s a priori forms of intuition (space, time) and categories structure experience; we know appearances, not things in themselves. Synthetic a priori judgments make mathematics and pure natural science possible within those bounds.
