Kant Dotto
Aside from Kant's ability to word a sentence more complexly than a theoretical physicist ever could, I would consider Kant one of the world best salesman. I don't really buy into some of his logic such as his "breakthrough" of synthetic a priori knowledge (math). I feel as though he was able to convince people of his ideas and sell them. My theory of sales is if the products were any good, they would sell themselves so salesmen actually aren't convincing you to buy a product, but rather a product that you don't need or want. I understand the necessity to write down his ideas and logic, but in this particular case I think he jumped to a conclusion much too quickly. I dont think that there can be synthetic a priori knowledge because to me it sounds like an oxymoron.
