>Schleiden told the philosopher Rudolf Eucken that Gauss read Kant’s Critique of Pure Reason five times. The fifth time he is reported to have said: ‘Now it’s dawning on me.”
>>25008194that's really all their is to if. you just keep banging yourself over the head with it until one day it clicks
Makes sense. Gauss was formally trained as a mathematician so other disciplines will take a bit of a windup.
>>25008194This only happened because Gauss didn't have the Cambridge Edition. It is also true for every famous work of philosophy. We lived in blessed times
>smartest 18th century revolutionary mathematician>too low IQ to easily grasp epistemological metaphysicsalso funny to think the anti-pytagorean read Kant
>>25008194yeah this never happened, Gauss thought philosophers were retarded.
>>25009225why would schleiden lie?
