Aug 31, 2023 at 22:11 comment added user62907 1+1=2 isn’t empirical
Jun 21, 2023 at 15:33 comment added NotThatGuy It's probably a bit of an exaggeration (if not blatantly wrong) to say that Kant "came to an amazing conclusion that empiricists are wrong", considering that he used empiricism himself. In any case, the question never mentioned empiricism; you seem to be strawmanning. Being able to comprehend a claim is not equivalent to being able to experience and observe evidence of that claim. If you think that God existing outside of time can be argued with rationalism then, I'll be waiting. It's also really odd that you used 1+1=2 as an example, given how heavily empirical that is.
Jun 21, 2023 at 12:56 comment added J D +1 "[Kant]" came to an amazing conclusion that empiricists are wrong" I'd just add a footnote that Kant is famous for trying to bring the empiricist and idealist doctrines together under transcendental idealism, so in a sense Kant believed everyone before Kant was wrong. And then the German idealists immediately after him set about correcting him. I'm not sure there's many philosophers who will concede anyone but themselves are fully right.
