"So, when on one side you hoist in Locke's head, you go over
that way; but now, on the other side, hoist in Kant's and you
come back again; but in very poor plight. Thus, some minds for

thunder-heads overboard, and then you will float light and
right."
-Herman Melville, Moby Dick.
Plato. Aristotle. Descartes. Locke. Kant. They produced
Rationalism which produced World War I which killed
Rationalism.
