Contents are those aspects of existence which are determined in themselves, but as such contain neither structure nor the possibility of being apprehended by us in their immediacy. Forms are the synthesizing principles which select elements from the raw stuff of experience and shape them into determinate unities. In this respect forms are identical with Kant’s a priori categories of cognition; but they differ from the latter in two important respects. They inform not only the cognitive realm, but any and all dimensions of human experience. And they are not fixed and immutable, but emerge, develop, and perhaps disappear over time. — Georg Simmel, on individuality and social forms_…, 21 (

German philosophers, from Kant to Hegel, had not assimilated Hume’s arguments. I say this deliberately, in spite of the belief which many philosophers share with Kant, that his Critique of Pure Reason answered Hume. In fact, these philosophers—at least Kant and Hegel—represent a pre-Humian type of rationalism, and can be refuted by Humian arguments. — Bertrand Russell, History of Western Philosophy, 2449 (
