Kant: Math

According to Kant:

Math is analytic and synthetic.

Meaning you have to take two knowns and put them together to have math make sense. This doesn't make too much sense to the though. If someone had no knowledge of anything in the contemporary world, you still could teach them values and quantites of something. 1 egg and another egg is 2 eggs. Very simple. How is synthetic knowledge ever incorporated into that math problem? No knowledge of eggs, their producers or chickens are needed to understand that simple problem. Even if you were to know the information on the following, it would be useless to the subject of math.

Kant illusion

At one point, Kant goes into depth about illusions. Like all ideas, they originate from our minds and only our minds. If we witness something with our own eyes or visualize something someone tells us, we have our own images, kind of like a built in copyright. Noone could ever have the same interpretation. Illusions are these ideas in our own minds. He mentions time and space, space is the volume and capacity of our minds and ideas? how shallow or deep the thought is? how would you measure the shallowness of a thought though? and on what basis? Time could be the amount of time to put synthetic ideas together to formulate your...illusion. pretty cool if you ask me.

Kant is confusion

After reading Kant's book, I've realized that he is confusing like Descartes. Linking math and metaphysics, using sciences to prove the unproven in his own mind. He thinks cognition belongs all in a unified system with some type of organization. Whether or not we actually see this whole "unified" organized system is no mentioned in this book. Is it in our subconscience? I guess so because of his reasoning with totality, we go through life trying to stride for complete understanding of everything and the organization that goes with it.
