19 July 2000 - crackpot philosopher

< yesterday -- tomorrow >

“Thus, number is nothing else than the unity of the synthesis of the manifold in a homogeneous intuition, by means of my generating time itself in my apprehension of the intuition.”
— Immanuel Kant, as translated by J.M.D. Meiklejohn

A truly great crackpot may become a philospher, but a great philosopher is always a crackpot.
