Summary

This quote, often attributed to Immanuel Kant, suggests that while our knowledge and understanding of the world is based on experience, it does not solely originate from it. It implies that experience serves as the foundation upon which knowledge is built, but there are also other factors or innate capabilities that contribute to our understanding. It highlights the idea that there might be innate reasoning abilities, pre-existing concepts, or a priori knowledge that influence our perception and interpretation of our experiences, shaping our understanding beyond mere observation.
