0:00.0	This is Monica Perez and we return once again to the book we're discussing,
0:28.6	Makers of the Modern Mind by Thomas Neal. We are continuing the chapter on Kant. So it's 12 people who have contributed to the modern mind, which of course
0:40.2	takes some understanding of the pre-modern and post-modern minds. And I think that that I'm going to
0:46.6	have probably a few conversations with other podcasters about this and see what they say,
0:51.8	because I do struggle with that. But I think that right before this was
0:55.2	the Renaissance. This book starts with Luther. And so we had an awakening of the mind and a
1:01.9	rediscovery of the classics, but I think always in the context then of God. I think the big bridge
1:09.1	in these 500 years is moving, is taking God out of the thought

1:48.1	In the beginning, they talk about the person to the extent it's relevant, the life, the context.
1:54.3	So you can read these separately as like Kant or Rousseau or Locke.
1:58.4	But of course, it's more fun to just on a Tuesday afternoon or
2:03.1	Saturday morning you can do your chores and listen to. What is my producer call it laundry?
2:09.3	Laundry listening. So that's really the goal. All right, here we go with Kant. In building his
2:15.1	new system, Kant saw himself faced at the outset with Descartes's
2:20.0	problem of answering the skeptics. Can we know things? If so, what can we know and under what
