Kant was a German master of philosophy, and his three major critiques are very famous, namely the critique of pure reason, the critique of practical reason, and the critique of judgment. The first two criticisms I have read, are bitter and bitter, extremely difficult to understand, cold in logic, and warm in impersonality. His interpretation of time and space is very novel, thinking that time and space are subjective things, and there is no objectivity, because it is impossible to feel. This view is quite novel and cannot but be admired.
Kant
Kant was a university professor, unmarried all his life, living a very regular life, with The rationality and rigidity of the Germans. The English philosopher Russell recorded in his History of Spanish Philosophy a detail that Kant's life was so regular that when he walked, he would pass by the door of other people's homes, and others would watch his arrival and adjust his watch.
Idle during the Spring Festival, I accidentally remembered this story and asked myself if this was possible. If it is a machine, it is easier to do. The biggest feature of the machine is that the instructions are simple and uniform, the movement is very stable, there is no emotional change, and there is no ups and downs in thought. The reason why clocks and watches have high accuracy is because they have no thought, complete mechanical process, although there will be a certain error due to wear, but the error is generally relatively small.
Huge space
To a large extent, people are a machine, such as human muscles, bones and even nervous systems are mechanically moving, but people receive information extremely unstable, people will have a rational side, but there is also a perceptual and emotional side, will be affected by the living situation, there is an impact on the surrounding environment, and even a few words with someone will cause great changes to the entire body. All of this will affect people's actions and lead to changes in people's behavior.
This is not the conclusion of my observation of others, but actually my own experience. I am still relatively rational and punctual, but I still can't guarantee what to do on time and not to do, that is, to work and commute, walking and exercising, these daily things, can not be punctual, often there are a few minutes or even a two-hour error, and have become accustomed to it. I have to look at my watch to set the time, otherwise I can't do punctuality.
I believe that Kant is also like this, he is a man, it is difficult to achieve punctuality, because he has thoughts. If his thoughts were a steady river, flowing very evenly, without waves, without change, he would not be a great thinker, and he would have calm times, time for brewing, and time for breakthroughs, which would all have an impact on his mood, which in turn would affect his actions, making him ahead and behind the plan, leading to the inability to be punctual.
Dalí's watch
So it might not be a good idea for someone to watch Kant take a walk to correct his watch. I believe Kant himself acted according to the watch, but he was a man, sooner or later it was inevitable. Watching Kant's appearance to correct the watch, it depends on Whether Kant's watch is accurate or not. For Kant's watch, it is better to repair his own watch.
Kant believed that time was subjective, but human subjectivity could not determine time, or it should be determined by objective or even mechanical methods, such as sunset and sunrise, full moon deficiency, hourglass clocks, including mechanically exquisite clocks.
In this way, whether time is subjective or objective, it has become a confused account.
