Kant did not think that all of our desires simply spring up in us, like mushrooms in the back yard, to be approached with caution. ... Kant believed it is an important fact about human beings that our first-order desires and impulses do not all derive immediately from instinct, like those of the other animals, but rather arise from a complex interplay of instinct and reason. — Christine M. Korsgaard

Education — a classification, not a measurement. An on-box language model (Qwen3.6-35B-A3B-FP8, prompt version 1) read this channel’s own recent posts on 23 September 2026 and assigned it the closest of 31 fixed categories, at 78% confidence. This is a model’s judgement about what the channel is likely to be about, not a fact this register measured the way a subscriber count or a view count is measured — it can be revised on a later pass, and it carries no weight anywhere else on this page. How this classification works, and why it has no browse page of its own yet.

Engagement
20 posts held, back to 27 December 2024 — the reader has not yet reached the start of this channel’s public history, so older posts may sit further back, unread. Read across 1 page of Telegram’s post history, 20 posts per page.
Nothing published in the last 30 days. ERR and ER are rolling 30-day measures, so there is nothing to compute — we hold 20 posts for this entry, the most recent from 22 July 2026. An engagement rate over an empty window would be a number about nothing.

Human reason, in one sphere of its cognition, is called upon to consider questions, which it cannot decline, as they are presented by its own nature, but which it cannot answer, as they transcend every faculty of the mind.
Kant keenly sees the confusion between thought and being, and the way in which thought mistakes its own products for objective reality. He overcomes the object’s power over the subject by revealing that the [phenomenal] object is born by the [transcendental] subject. — Nikolai Berdyaev
To behold virtue in her proper form is nothing else but to contemplate morality stripped of all admixture of sensible things and of every spurious ornament of reward or self-love. How much she then eclipses everything else that appears charming to the affections…
Morality is the relation of actions to the autonomy of the will, that is, to a possible giving of universal law through its maxims.
Immaturity is the incapacity to use one’s intelligence without the guidance of another.
All thought must, directly or indirectly, by way of certain characters, relate ultimately to intuitions, and therefore, with us, to sensibility, because in no other way can an object be given to us.
Morals themselves remain subject to all sorts of corruption as long as we are without that clue and supreme norm by which to appraise them correctly.
Ingratitude is the essence of vileness.
— Dan Zahavi
Human reason so delights in constructions that it has several times built up a tower and then razed it to examine the nature of the foundation.
By a lie, a man annihilates his dignity as a man.
Showing the 12 most recent of 20 posts we hold for @ImmanuelKantQuotes. View and reaction counts are the latest single reading for each post, not a live figure, and a recent post is still accumulating both. A view count marked ≈ was rounded by Telegram before we ever saw it — t.me prints views in full below 1,000 and to three significant figures above, so ≈1,200,000 means somewhere between 1,150,000 and 1,249,999. Unmarked counts are exact. Text is reproduced from the public post preview and truncated for length.
