Wow ! Summarising Kant in these 11 lines reminds me of Woody
Allen's : " I took a speed reading course and read 'War and Peace' in
twenty minutes. It involves Russia."
Can't do any reasoning on that !
All the best,

Here's a quote that provides the Kantian and Schopenhauerian
perspective on
the discussion:
Page 232, The Schopenhauer Cure by Irvin D. Yalom
/…/
Kant realized that all our sense data are filtered
through our neural apparatus and reassembled therein to provide us
with a
picture that we call reality but which in fact is only a chimera, a
fiction
that emerges from our conceptualizing and categorizing mind. Indeed,
even
cause and effect, sequence, quantity, space, time are
conceptualizations,
constructs, not entities "out there" in nature.
"Furthermore, we cannot "see" past our processed version of what's out
there; we have no way of knowing what is "really" there - that is, the
entity that exists prior to our perceptual and intellectual
processing. The
primary entity, which Kant called ding an sich (the thing in itself),
will
and must remain forever unknowable to us.
