nigeltdeIMMANUEL KANT: IF YOU ARE READING THIS RIGHT NOW I WISH YOU HAD NEVER WRITTEN A BLOODY THING.
Or if you absolutely *had* to, perhaps you might have tried writing it such that even a translation doesn't look like a jumble of barely-English words thrown together for your and your translator's nefarious purposes:
If, then, the determining ground of the judgement as to this universal communicability of the representation is to be merely subjective, that is to say, is to be conceived independently of an concept of the object, it can be nothing else than the mental state that presents itself in the mutual relation of the powers of representation so far as they refer a given representation to cognition in general.
I mean, really.
I am never going to get this essay done.
