Whitehead on Reading Kant

Charles Hartshorne:

Whitehead once said that Kant’s Critiques should have been written in reverse order. This is because … Whitehead held that experiencing is primarily and primitively enjoying-suffering and only in special cases knowing; so that the theory of feeling, and hence aesthetics, not epistemology, is primary.
