At the end of the 1700s, Kant had realized that human knowledge was based on a number of preconditions that precede experience. We can know that world only because our knowledge is based on a series of concepts or categories, such as time and space, that themselves cannot be know. We see through very specific spectacles, which we cannot question, for they themselves constitute the preconditions for our being able to see at all. Kant talked about ‘a priori’ of knowledge, concepts and categories that are preconceived prerequisites to any understanding. ~ Page 48

Perhaps the best expression of the changes in the French intellectual climate after 1870 was the conversion to Kant in Philosophy. Kant’s influence was predominant at the end of the century, and well beyond, and a phenomenon as substantial as the length supremacy of neocriticism for instance would need to be studied for itself. From the present vantage point it is clear that a critical appreciation of the progress of natural sciences, in opposing to positivism, and a stern emphasis on duty corresponded to the needs of the hour, as did the choice of the German thinker altogether closer to the Western Enlightenment than his great idealist successors. ` Page 225
