Immanuel KantPhilosophical knowledge is knowledge which reason gains from concepts mathematical knowledge is knowledge which reason gains from the construction of concepts.
About This Quote
The knowledge gained from reason is what we use to determine the truth. Mathematical knowledge is knowledge which reason gains from the construction of concepts, therefore, the things we learn in mathematics is not something we know for sure and it can never be proven. Philosophy is a branch of study in which we try to understand the nature of reality and the human mind. We try to determine what is true and what is wrong.
