"Todo nuestro conocimiento comienza con los sentidos, luego avanza al entendimiento y termina con la razón. No hay nada más alto que la razón."
— Immanuel Kant
Simplified Meaning:
When we learn new things, it all starts with what we see, hear, touch, taste, and smell. This is how our brain collects information. After we sense something, our mind makes sense of it. For example, when you touch a hot stove, you feel the heat and understand that it's hot. This process helps us learn about the world. Next, we use our mind to think about what we've understood. We make connections, ask questions, and find answers. This step helps us make smart decisions. For instance, after touching the hot stove, you reason that touching it again would burn you, and decide not to do it. By thinking in this way, we use the best part of our mind, which is reason. It helps us solve problems and make good choices. For example, when deciding what to wear, you may use reason to choose warm clothes on a cold day. Using our senses, understanding, and reason helps us live better and smarter lives.
