Just want to touch on this briefly, don't have time for a debate, but this statement is so true,
kant said "The mind is everything, For not only does the mind embellish nature with colours and textures and smells, not to mention cause and effect, but also adds space and time." Kant and Descartes agreed that one could never know the external world, but only our IMPRESSIONS OF IT.
What is the external world like?
We can never know, the mind adds practically everything to what we perceive.
The sky is not really blue, it only prouces a sensation of blueness on the optic nerve.
edit...OPPS..not done
Reality remains unknowable
To quote Blake...
"man by his reasoning power can only compare and judge of what he has already perceived, and man's perceptions are not bounded by the organs of perception, he perceives more that sense can discover"
I really have no point just alot of Blah...
