"I had therefore to remove knowledge, in order to make room for belief"
- Immanuel Kant
About this Quote
In this quote, Immanuel Kant is suggesting that in order to have faith or belief in something that can not be proven with knowledge or empirical evidence, one should first release their persistence on exclusively counting on sensible knowledge or realities. One must be open to accepting and embracing that which can not be described or comprehended through logical methods.
"A lawyer without history or literature is a mechanic, a mere working mason; if he possesses some knowledge of these, he may venture to call himself an architect"
