"Kant's great achievement was to conclude finally the lines on which philosophical speculation had proceeded in the eighteenth century, and to open up a new and more comprehensive system of dealing with the problems of philosophy... No other thinker has been able to hold with such firmness the balance between speculative and empirical ideas."--Printing and the Mind of Man.
