HAVE WE GOT A DEAL FOR YOU! A GERMAN IDEAL, THAT IS!

Kant!

Great deals, Great Idealism Objects in the external world are experienced by how we perceive them, not by qualities inherent to the objects themselves. Invented by Immanuel Kant and commonly called: “Transcendental Idealism” Another way to think about it: Space and time are not things in themselves (rationalism), nor are they illusions of our senses (empiricism), but they are the vessel by which knowledge is attained.

Kant's Kias The Kant section of the lot has many fine models including the luxurious Immanuel Kant. Also available is the automatic Kant. Kant merged empiricism and rationalism, showing that things can be known both a priori and a posteriori. Developed the Transcendental argument, and that baby will be good for another miles, and we’ll give you a free museum tour with it.

Kant we have s’more? Yes, Yes you can Trans Arg Ex: Other things must exist because I am aware of my existence and it is necessary for other things to exist in order to distinguish myself as existing. The mind receives and depicts and since everything conforms to mind’s perception, the mind should be the philosophical focus.

Kant and others call his perceptive theory the Copernican Revolution due to its influential power. The mind creates reality since it is the perceiver, and it has certain a priori capabilities, such as using space and time, but Kant is critical of rationalist a priori methods, so he offers a non-empiricist critique of rationalism. This was a big deal, an ideal, a great deal on a great vehicle with our certified guarantee. Bad Credit? No credit? No problem!

Hegel’s Bagels Have one of our world famous, really decent bagels while you wait a long time for your tour to begin.

Hegel’s Thoughts Hegel adapted Kant’s ideals on transcendentalism. He truly respected Aristotle, especially his ideals on freedom and morality. He believed that the infinite necessarily exists because we know of the finite, which applies for things such as nature and freedom, etc. Such arguments are transcendental.

More Stuff For You Believed strongly in argument through contradiction and negation. Influenced future thought in the following realms: existentialism, Marx’s historical materialism, historicism and British idealism. “Genuine tragedies in the world are not conflicts between right and wrong. They are conflicts between two rights.” He’s mad dead by now, but if he weren’t, he’d totally sit down and eat one of his own bagel’s with you.

Schopenhauer's Car-Penhauers! Big Opportunities! Call me a pessimist, who cares? I'll tell you now! These cars probably won't work at all!

Will To Live Mr. Kant will be selling you Phenomenal cars at phenomal prices, but it’s the noumenal ones (at noumenal prices) that I’m concerned about!!! These Noumenal cars don’t run on gas, they run on pure WILLE ZUM LEBEN! The revolutionary new fuel known as The Will to Live!

More Will! You ever wonder what keeps those old cars chugging? Well there’s your answer! Anything that keeps them alive and drives them to continue their existence is their intrinsic will to live. Will is prior to thought, and thought is prior to being. Why shouldn't look for car’s at our competitor’s stores? I’ll tell you why! You are forever driven by a will for satisfaction, and you’ll never get it, bud. Existence: it’s all futile, so you might as well just buy one from here.

Aesthetics But enough about that, what is more important than what fuels the car is what the car looks like. All that intrinsic drive only causes pain and suffering, whereas the nice finish of a car’s exterior makes the real beauty! If you are able to look at this car, and say, man, that is a beautiful car, then YOU my friend are a true genius, a German Idealism Genius!

Music and Aesthetics Because of this, all of Schopenhauer’s Autos play the best music! Music is the only thing better than art, it communicates without any physical body! You appreciate music completely, and no sorrow can bring you down!

What's Love Got to Do, Got to do with it? Nothing, there is no such thing! Maybe you think that you will love my cars, but, face it! There’s no such thing as love, you just feel some innate desire to buy this car and drive it, why, because you have to! I know you have to, and you know you have to and we all know you have to, and here is a deal for you!
