\u201cTime and space \u2013 these are the basis of any cognition and judgment. They become obligatory since it is impossible to make a single step till we recognize it in time and space\u201d
\n Emanuel Kant, \u201cThe Fundamentals of Moral\u2019s Metaphysics\u201d, 1783
\n This Kant will drive a man crazy,
\n there is much he says about and
\n makes others think of. <\/p>\n

What is the use of thinking everything over in time and space. Why do we have to recognize in time and space the judgment that 7 and 5 is 12. Maybe it was necessary then, but now everything is different, everything has changed, my Kant. Time and space has remained the same but what do you want, the result – zero.
\n No, no, Kant\u2019s philosophy is evidently in crisis, there are new laws of metaphysics now.
\n What does it mean? Oh, you want me to explain to you on 2 pages what that genius expressed in a 1500 page book (thus, Kant is lucky that he does not live now, especially in Georgia, or he would have remained for the world. Who will read 3000 pages now, especially in Georgia). In short, substitute any economic doctrine, and even a law, and there is no necessity in any calculation, any consideration as to why, when, where or what is the subsequent result, why it is good or bad. We cannot really follow Kant\u2019s ravings, it is necessary to be so and that is all. In conditions of ongoing globalization and permanent economic reforms, Kant\u2019s theory is considered as an evident obstacle. Moreover, within several years\u2019 period we have to catch up with Hong Kong , Singapore\u2026 but it is true that now we are far behind of even Vietnam, but we shall catch up. First we shall cancel the customs tax, it was the load that made our airplane heavier, then \u2013 VAT, then we shall eradicate this tenfold spending state institution and fly. No matter where and then. It was in Kant\u2019s time when there was time and space, and that is why the progress dragged on so slowly. I recall one interesting incident: one megrelian deputy asked some state minister \u2013 when we shall catch up with Europe from the economic point of view. He became pensive, calculated and said, – if we go very fast and rebuild our economy\u2019s management, and if there will be a fair international wind, then within a 50 years\u2019 period. \u201cWhat are you saying, man\u201d, – the deputy cried out, – \u201cand what if we run very fast?\u201d \u201cThen in 35 years\u2019 period\u201d, – the minister said. \u201cWhat?!\u201d \u2013 the deputy shrieked, – \u201cshall not we be able to catch up in 3-4 years?!\u201d \u201cWhat?\u201d and whispered in his year \u2013 \u201cdo they know about it on the top?\u201d he said raised his eyes full of fright at the sun. \u201cOf course, they do, my elect.\u201d
\n But if, for instance, we lived in accordance with Kant\u2019s philosophy, we would have to calculate where from we could get 150 million for the budget which the customs tax would have brought, then we would have calculated how we could render assistance to agriculture, food industry and other industries, and how much we would have lost if they had stopped, or how much we would have gained in terms of raw materials and installations by these 12% privileges, and would have treated all this taking into account time and space, our economy would be put in order.
\n Eh, it is Kant again, we are there again, it is not a proper time for calculations, especially in time and space, cancel it and that is all. Bananas will become cheaper, as well as trotters and spicery that are imported from Argentine. There is good spicery there, just for kharcho soup. We shall drink imported juices, etc., simply as it is.
\n Now in Georgia there is a time of new economic theories, down with Kant, his philosophy is in crisis. There is greatness in simplicity \u2013 cancel it and that is all. Maybe, Kant was a German and he was not taught in France. Oh, maybe. Now everything is possible, it depends an time and space. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
