"Experience is something of which we are conscious.It is the first result of our comprehension, but it is
not the limit of our understanding, since it stimulates
our faculty of reason, but does not satisfy its
desire for knowledge."

Philosophical Wednesday
From his Critique of Pure Reason, here's a key line by Immanuel Kant (1724-1804), probably the greatest of German Enlightenment philosophers:
"Experience is something of which we are conscious.
It is the first result of our comprehension, but it is
not the limit of our understanding, since it stimulates
our faculty of reason, but does not satisfy its
desire for knowledge."
"Experience is something of which we are conscious.It is the first result of our comprehension, but it is
not the limit of our understanding, since it stimulates
our faculty of reason, but does not satisfy its
desire for knowledge."
