Architecture Quote by Lee Braver

““Organizing one’s system around the A5 Active Knower is an essential feature of the Kantian Paradigm: the examination of anything else, including history, must start from the analysis of the structures of the self because it is these structures that constitute the rest. The subject is the prism whose configuration accounts for the rainbow.””
