ABSTRACT

This story catches Kant at his “tipping moment” from his precritical phase to his critical philosophy, when he literally and figuratively “wakes up.” The opening scene includes various basic impressions of time and space. Kant considers these. He has not yet written his critical works, but he is troubled. Then he has a dinner party with a colleague who appreciates his existent dogmatic works. But all of us (philosophers and aspiring philosophers) are allowed to change our minds.
