Its a poor choice of words but I think it means it's not unique to the Beckham's (many families facing the same situation) and that it happens very frequently.

Part 4: On the Limit in Kant The Liminal Abyss of the Human Being

Hi everyone. I've just published the newest installment to my Kant on the limit series. This one is a big heavy-going, but hopefully you get something out of it! kosmotheoros.substack.com/p/part-4-on-...

For example, and this is what I was keen to show here, he works hard to show how intuition is a primary form of knowledge. He does this against the backdrop of the neo-Kantian privileging of understanding.

It's true that he located imagination as the "common but to us unknown root" of sensibility and understanding, but my point is that this not all he does, and to view it this way is to be a bit too reductive. He works at a variety of levels and with a number of different aspects.

Kant was actually a pretty social guy. By today's standards he'd be considered a socialite... Just thought I'd drop that in here

This text is fast becoming one of my favorites of Derrida! His discussions of Heidegger's Sein zum Tode are really compelling!
