I don't feel this is fair to Kant.

Keep in mind, he was alive at a time when Enlightenment rationality was demolishing faith in God. Kant righteously opposed what was happening and understood that the world of fact and the world of value/symbol needed to be separated.

Yes, you can look at the disposition of phenomena and noumena as early postmodernism (but keep in mind that postmodernism is largely founded on true observation - it's where the post-structuralist faggots ally these true observations with Marxism that the filth starts spewing. But this isn't to say that the postmodern grandfathers and their axioms are to blame. Foucault, Derrida, etc took valid observation down a terrible, spiteful road).

Kant was able to formulate a philosophy that somewhat reconciled reason and faith & spawned an incredible branch of Christian philosophy that stood for a while as the only bastion against complete rational nihilism and/or commie slavery (see Kierkegaard vs. Hegel).

So you... Kant believe what he's saying?
