The philosopher Immanuel Kant had never been out of his own town in his life, so why was his vision

Because he is knowledgeable, he broadens his knowledge by drawing inferences from what he has learned.

Because of his erudition, although he doesn't go out of his own town, he loves to learn and reads a lot.

Because he likes to read very much, isn't there a saying that there is Yan Ruyu in the book, and there is a ** house in the book.

This shows that even if you don't leave the house, as long as you read a lot, it won't affect your opinion of everything in the outside world.

He has read a huge number of books, is well-read, and can know things from the outside world without going out.

Although he has never been out, he is well-read, knowledgeable, and good at thinking.

Although he did not practice, he received a wide range of knowledge through reading and thinking.

I think his knowledge in this area is mainly based on books and his own thinking.

As long as you read a lot, you can still know everything even if you don't leave home.

Kant not only never left Gettysburg, but also never married, to which he dedicated his life.

ideals and careers (I don't want to say all of humanity, it feels a bit fake). Kant himself admitted that he had a strong curiosity and a desire for knowledge, so much so that he looked down on those who were ignorant in his eyes, but Rousseau changed this conceit and paranoia of his and made him realize that if he could not do something for humanity with his own reasoning, he would not be as good as those who toiled with his hands.

Therefore, the prerequisite for Kant's broad vision is that he has an open mind, not limited to one thing or place, nor limited to his own preferences, but willing to accept knowledge extensively. However, Kant's method of acquiring knowledge is also impossible for ordinary people to adhere to, almost all of them are through reading and thinking, and of course, there are also correspondence with friends. However, without diligent thinking and keen insight, reading may not be able to make people wise.

Therefore, no matter who is effective in reading 10,000 books or traveling 10,000 miles, if you don't always maintain an active curiosity and desire for knowledge, and if you don't have the habit of thinking diligently without fear of loneliness, no matter how many books you read, no matter how many roads you travel, it is useless. Of course, whether there are any defects in Kant's method of learning, I think there are also were, traditional Chinese scholars still emphasize the unity of knowledge and action, and put forward the proposition of ten thousand books and ten thousand miles, not to let future generations argue which is more important and which is more important, but to tell everyone that the two should be effectively combined.

As for Kant, perhaps it is the so-called partial talent, relying on some extreme deficiencies to achieve the extreme peak of another part, but this is difficult for ordinary people to do.

I don't study much about Kant, but I do know that Kant did not leave the town in his life (Königsberg, the city's special formation is basically the same as Kant's.

It is said that he only has a few hundred books in his study. However, it is generally believed that he opened the door to German classical philosophy, and it can be said that before Kant, there were no well-known philosophers in Germany (Prussia), and after Kant, German philosophers emerged one after another. Another interesting thing is that the French science fiction writer Verne also does not have much practical experience, but he has written an unprecedented number of science fiction, whether it is quantity or quality, as well as scientific foresight, it is no longer available.

In my opinion, examples like Kant illustrate the value of indirect experience, and many things do not have to be seen or experienced in order to be recognized and summarized. The summaries (books or video materials) that have been made by the predecessors can be used for reference and absorption.

In addition, while practice is important, rational induction is as important as speculation, especially in the field of philosophy.

In contemporary society, scholarship is becoming more and more refined, information growth is far greater than in the last century, and giants like Kant and Verne are becoming less and less likely.

The so-called "broad-eyed" does not mean that the "naked eye" must see more, on the contrary, you can "know the world" without leaving home, and "reading a wide range of books" is just one of the methods.

Traveling or going to too many places has nothing to do with knowledge. Knowledge is the knowledge of books, not something that can be increased by looking at more buildings and visiting more countries.

Casual Arab countries leave me, Arab fathers, Arab countries, parents, ah, ah, in recent years, Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan.

Knowledge and wisdom are two different things, but there are thousands of threads.

Thousands of connections.

Talented, virtuous teacher, virtuous, handsome. Here you can take virtue as wisdom, wisdom is introverted, from the inside out, knowledge is external, first outside and then inside.

Reading 10,000 books does not mean that there is more wisdom, it does not mean that the horizon is broad, but the wise person may not have much knowledge, but the horizon must be broadened, think of Shakyamuni, he sat under the Bodhi tree for 77-49 days, and he was enlightened, did you say he ran around?

So wisdom can be found in two paths, one from the manager, and the other, from direct awakening within, as the Buddha did.
