It is our mind, though, that processes this information about the world and gives it order, allowing us to comprehend it. Our mind supplies the conditions of space and time to experience objects. According to the "transcendental unity of apperception", the concepts of the mind (Understanding) and the perceptions or intuitions that garner information from phenomena (Sensibility) are synthesized by comprehension. Without the concepts, intuitions are nondescript; without the intuitions, concepts are meaningless—thus the famous statement, "Thoughts without content are empty, intuitions without concepts are blind."[31]
"Don't see the connection with what I just wrote? ============ Sure I see. I see that 1.Wikipedia wisdom is as usually that of a kitchen almanac for village idiots. 2.That "Kant's Epistemology" is a wrong title. It should say "Lonnie's intimate secrets".
