From Susan Neiman, Evil in Modern Thought: An Alternative History of Philosophy

... The gap between nature and freedom, is and ought, conditions all human existence. For Walter Benjamin, it was this gap that made Kant's work so modern: later philosophy, he wrote, was an eleventh-hour flight from the honesty of Kant's dualism. ... Kant never let us forget either the extent of our limits or the legitimacy of our wish to transcend them. Neither is less important than the other, though one way to distinguish analytic from continental readings of Kant's work is through the ways each tried to forget. Analytic philosophy emphasized Kant's recognition of the senselessness of our desire for transcendence; continental philosophy, Kant's recognition of our longing for it. The difference is easy to state: is our urge to move beyond experience a piece of obsolete psychology, or of the logic of the human condition?

Mmmm, monad-licious ...
