(Immanuel Kant 1724-1804) Quotes: Have the courage to use your own understanding! When we think of light, we seldom think of darkness, when we think of happiness we never think of misery; in satisfaction never with pain; but vice versa at any time. The aimless person suffers his fate, the purposeful one shapes it. Anyone who turns himself into a worm cannot complain afterwards if he is trampled. For the learning soul, life has an infinite value even in its darkest hours. Peace is the masterpiece of reason.

What the philosopher researches cannot be grasped with the naked eye, the fabric is too finely woven for that to be understood in terms of its texture. But this material motivates to look at it through the glasses of thought, because whatever the world is, the design goes back to the thought.

From the outside the form can be grasped with hands, which it is not from the inside, it is the shell in the coarse fiber that rubs and pulls between the fingers, while the filling escapes the holding hand in its spiritual bond because the receptor is touching listened to, so blindly does not see the content.

In this way, the researcher who penetrates into the interior opens, in small steps, the layer that is on top of the other layers in countless times with the same question as to when the last layer, which is closest to the core of the innermost, opens or can be opened through the finely targeted stab incision to the point.

However fine and targeted the incision is, the wisdom cannot be found, not the first and not the last time, despite calibration and a sense of proportion. What is involved with knowing is the deeper knowledge of recognizing that the things in the depths are illuminated by the other light that belongs to the spirit.

So wisdom is the deepest part of the essence of the human spirit in the core of being, which belongs to the highest in spiritual value and is placed on and given to man as the crown of creation, who thinks modestly as part of the whole and serves the whole with joy .

That is then the philosophy of knowledge, of service and of freedom, because from the perspective of responsibility comes the solution to the riddle that humanity is a highly complex structure of absolute commonality that must not be severed if life is to go on.

So the philosophy gets to the point that it is the wisdom of creation that hovers invisibly over the thought and connects it internally, that the fine filigree of the fabric is to be regarded as the spiritual basis on which the mental activities take place, what makes life possible.
