Description: In a 2005 editorial in The Guardian, Kant was declared 'the undefeated heavyweight philosophy champion of the world' because he had the 'great insight ... to remove psychology from epistemology, arguing that knowledge is inevitably mediated by space, time and forms within our minds.' This is an accurate reflection of the consensus view of philosophers and scientists of mind alike that Kant's accounts of space, time, nature, mathematics, and logic on the 'Critique of Pure Reason' are rationalist, normativist, and nativist. Wayne Waxman argues that all of this is untrue.
