@Anonymous not to knock on the cartoon too much, which is nice, but when the guy in the picture is saying, “…comprehend incomprehensibility” it gives the impression that Kant believes in that sort of logic as rational thought.
but he was referring to moral imperatives, not actual cognition. and not trying to comprehend the underlying incomprehensibleness, but are aware of it being incomprehensible. if anything Kant says that if you try to comprehend incomprehensibility you are making a fallacious leap in rational thinking.
but that’s just me rambling. fun picture though, imagine if kant became the new pop art.

@Anonymous actually, the thought bubble quotation is taken from Kant’s closing remarks.
maybe you should take a look.
@he's saying The thought bubble taken from Kant’s closing remakrs refers more to an awareness than an understanding.

@schopenhauer it reminds me of the purposelessness of human striving…and yet it’s represented! I must revise my theory!
