This is a Perl version of the Mac program Kant Generator Pro originally by Mark Pilgrim (here's Mark's Python version). It generates, um, random, um, Kant (based on the Critique of Pure Reason.). Like generative music, but with philosophy. Perl version is © 2000 Matt Webb.

I can't think of anything, let alone anything funny, to do with random Kantian prose. Let me know (homepage|email) if you can, but I seriously doubt you'll be able to.

I wouldn't, if I were you -- they look dangerous. Read the random Kant instead.
It is not at all certain that formal logic, certainly, can never furnish a true and demonstrated science, because, like time, it has nothing to do with a priori principles, because of the relation between our a posteriori knowledge and the paralogisms of natural reason. The discipline of pure reason occupies part of the sphere of the never-ending regress in the series of empirical conditions concerning the existence of the things in themselves in general. As will easily be shown in the next section, the reader should be careful to observe that the objects in space and time, so, abstract from all content of a posteriori knowledge. (The Antinomies can not take account of, what we have alone been able to show is that, our sense perceptions, since some of our ideas are synthetic.) It remains a mystery why our ideas constitute the whole content for the thing in itself. The transcendental aesthetic, in reference to ends, can thereby determine in its totality the manifold.
By means of analytic unity, we can deduce that the noumena constitute a body of demonstrated doctrine, and all of this body must be known a priori. The paralogisms of natural reason have lying before them, on the other hand, the objects in space and time, by virtue of human reason. What we have alone been able to show is that, it must not be supposed that the noumena would thereby be made to contradict, in so far as this expounds the sufficient rules of time, the manifold, as any dedicated reader can clearly see. Because of the relation between the manifold and the paralogisms of practical reason, the thing in itself may not contradict itself, but it is still possible that it may be in contradiction with the objects in space and time; in the case of time, metaphysics constitutes the whole content for the objects in space and time. In the case of the manifold, the reader should be careful to observe that the noumena, indeed, constitute a body of demonstrated doctrine, and all of this body must be known a priori. The divisions are thus provided; all that is required is to fill them.
Space is just as necessary as natural causes; for these reasons, the paralogisms, thus, would be falsified. It is obvious that, for example, our judgements constitute a body of demonstrated doctrine, and some of this body must be known a priori, but the employment of the Categories, on the other hand, exists in the objects in space and time. As any dedicated reader can clearly see, our understanding, in particular, is a representation of space. In view of these considerations, it is not at all certain that the things in themselves are what first give rise to the Transcendental Deduction, by means of analysis. Metaphysics excludes the possibility of the paralogisms.
By means of analytic unity, I assert, in the study of the architectonic of natural reason, that the objects in space and time have lying before them our ideas; in natural theology, the discipline of practical reason constitutes the whole content for the never-ending regress in the series of empirical conditions. As is shown in the writings of Hume, our knowledge should only be used as a canon for the paralogisms; as I have shown elsewhere, our sense perceptions exclude the possibility of our sense perceptions. As any dedicated reader can clearly see, we can deduce that, so far as regards the Transcendental Deduction, our sense perceptions are by their very nature contradictory, but the never-ending regress in the series of empirical conditions excludes the possibility of space. The Antinomies can not take account of the transcendental aesthetic, and the Categories, as I have shown elsewhere, are a representation of the manifold. So, the architectonic of practical reason, in particular, exists in space, by virtue of natural reason. It must not be supposed that the never-ending regress in the series of empirical conditions proves the validity of, insomuch as space relies on our analytic judgements, our concepts; however, the architectonic of practical reason, in the study of metaphysics, should only be used as a canon for the paralogisms.
Certainly, the never-ending regress in the series of empirical conditions is just as necessary as, indeed, the Ideal of pure reason. As is shown in the writings of Hume, it remains a mystery why, for example, the objects in space and time, in the case of our experience, have nothing to do with time, but pure logic has nothing to do with natural causes. The reader should be careful to observe that our understanding is the key to understanding, on the contrary, reason. By means of analysis, I assert that our concepts (and Hume tells us that this is the case) exclude the possibility of the paralogisms of practical reason; consequently, the intelligible objects in space and time are a representation of the paralogisms. The transcendental objects in space and time, thus, can be treated like the transcendental aesthetic, by means of analysis. So, it is not at all certain that metaphysics, in reference to ends, is by its very nature contradictory.
We can deduce that the Ideal of human reason should only be used as a canon for our a posteriori knowledge; therefore, our concepts, so, exist in our faculties. I assert that the architectonic of practical reason is a body of demonstrated doctrine, and none of it must be known a priori; in the case of the architectonic of natural reason, our a priori knowledge would thereby be made to contradict, what we have alone been able to show is that, the Categories. There can be no doubt that, when thus treated as our ideas, the Transcendental Deduction, in the full sense of these terms, would be falsified. It is not at all certain that our faculties, with the sole exception of pure logic, have lying before them philosophy. The paralogisms are what first give rise to the phenomena.
We can deduce that the things in themselves (and it is obvious that this is the case) stand in need to the objects in space and time. Therefore, space stands in need of, in natural theology, space. By means of analytic unity, the phenomena occupy part of the sphere of the transcendental unity of apperception concerning the existence of our faculties in general. The employment of the transcendental unity of apperception can not take account of the objects in space and time; in the study of the never-ending regress in the series of empirical conditions, the paralogisms of natural reason occupy part of the sphere of philosophy concerning the existence of the things in themselves in general. As we have already seen, there can be no doubt that, when thus treated as the Transcendental Deduction, the Categories would thereby be made to contradict, in particular, our ideas. So, our experience can not take account of our a posteriori concepts, because of the relation between the discipline of natural reason and the things in themselves.
