Why Gold is Necessarily a Yellow Metal.
- Authors
Hanna, Robert
- Abstract
At least Kant thinks it's a part of the concept that gold is to be a yellow metal. He thinks that we know this a priori, and that we could not discover it to be empirically false … Is Kant right about this? (Saul Kripke)Gold [is] … a yellow malleable ductile high density metallic element resistant to chemical reaction. (Oxford English Dictionary)Nature considered materially is the totality of all objects of experience. (Immanuel Kant, P, Ak. 4:295)Kant's joke. Kant wanted to prove in a way that would dumbfound the common man that the common man was right: that was the secret joke of this soul. (Friedrich Nietzsche)
