Adorable Kant Quote of the Day

“But it is noteworthy that if we secretly deceived this lover of the beautiful by planting in the ground artificial flowers (which can be manufactured exactly like natural ones)…and he discovered the deceit, the immediate interest that he previously took in them would disappear at once…” (Critique of Judgment, Sec. 42)

I like to think the Folgers Crystals people were gunning for Kant in the Analytic of the Sublime.
