What was unique about Kant's philosophy, and how did he try to synthesize the views of rationalists and empiricists together?

Not sure about my thesis on this one! Anyone in the forum can help? Thanks


- How does the description of "real talk" in Women's Ways of Knowing reflect the stage of cognitive development that Perry called Constructed Knowledge? Compare and contrast "real talk" to didactic talk.
- Constructed knowledge is characterized by a recognition of the interrelatedness of knowledge, knowing and the knower. Based on intense self-reflection, women in this stage view knowledge as a constant process of construction, deconstruction and reconstruction, often in concert with others.
- Constructivists make a distinction between "really talking" and what they consider to be didactic talk:
- In didactic talk, each participant may report experience, but there is no attempt among participants to join together to arrive at some new understanding.
- "Real talk" requires careful listening; it implies a mutually shared agreement that together you are creating the optimum setting so that half-baked or emergent ideas can grow. "Real talk" reaches deep into the experience of each participant; it also draws on the analytical abilities of each.
