Kant Lips Um
Kant Lips Um
Released 2012/10/14
The kantlipsum package is modeled after lipsum and offers pretty similar functionality,
but instead of pseudolatin utterances, it typesets paragraphs of nonsense in Kantian style
produced by the Kant generator for Python by Mark Pilgrim, found in Dive into Python.
It has at least one advantage over lipsum: the text is in English and so finding good
hyphenation points should be less problematic. On the contrary, the paragraphs are
rather long, as it’s common in philosophical prose.
1 Options
The package has three document options, the first two of which are alternative to each
other:
par | nopar With the default par all pieces of text will be ended by a \par command; specifying
par is optional; the option nopar will not add this \par at the end of each fragment
of Kantian prose.
numbers Each piece of Kantian prose will be preceded by its number (such as in “1 • As
any dedicated reader can clearly see. . . ”), which can be useful for better control of
what is produced.
index Each paragraph will generate an index entry; a \makeindex command will be
needed, with a suitable package for making the index, and \printindex for print-
ing it. However the index entry may be off by one, since the \index command
is issued at the beginning of the paragraph. Also there is no guarantee that the
indexed word really belongs to the paragraph.
2 Commands
The commands provided by the package are:
\kant This command takes an optional argument which can be of the form [42] (that
is, only one integer) or [3-14] (that is, two integers separated by a hyphen); as in
lipsum, \kant[42], \kant[3-14] and \kant will produce the 42nd pseudokantian
paragraph, the paragraphs from the 3rd to the 14th, and those from the 1st to the
7th, respectively.
∗ This file describes version 0.6, last revised 2012/10/14.

\kant* The same as before, see later for the difference.
\kantdef This command takes two arguments, a control sequence and an integer; the call
\kantdef{\mytext}{164} will store in \mytext the 164th paragraph of pseudokan-
tian text provided by this package.
What’s the difference between \kant and \kant*? The normal version will respect
the given package option; that is, if par is in force, \kant[1-2] will produce two para-
graphs, while \kant*[1-2] will only produce a big chunk of text without issuing any
\par command. The logic is reversed if the nopar option has been given.
By the way, 164 is the number of available pieces; if one exceeds the limit, nothing
will be printed. Thus \kant[164-200] will print only one paragraph. However, printing
all paragraphs with the standard ten point size Computer Modern font and the article
class fills more than fifty pages, so it seems that the supply of text can be sufficient.
Note
This package is just an exercise for practicing with LATEX3 syntax. It uses the “exper-
imental” packages made available by the LATEX3 team. Many thanks to Joseph Wright
and Bruno Le Floch for suggesting improvements.

3.1 Package options and required packages
We declare the allowed options and choose by default par. We also need to declare a
function \kgl_number:n that is set by the numbers option; its default action is to gobble
its argument.

3.4 User level commands
There are two user level commands, \kant (with a *-variant) and \kantdef.
\kant The (optional) argument is described as before. We use the \SplitArgument feature
provided by xparse to decide whether the ‘range form’ has been specified. In the \kant*
form we reverse the logic.
49 \NewDocumentCommand{\kant}{s>{\SplitArgument{1}{-}}O{1-7}}
50 {
51 \group_begin:
52 \IfBooleanTF{#1}
53 { \cs_set_eq:NN \kgl_par: \kgl_star: }
54 { \cs_set_eq:NN \kgl_par: \kgl_nostar: }
55 \kgl_process:nn #2
56 \kgl_print:
57 \group_end:
58 }
\kantdef Sometimes one needs just a piece of text without implicit \par attached, so we provide
\kantdef. In a group we neutralize the meaning of \kgl_number:n and \kgl_par: and
define the control sequence given as first argument to the pseudokantian sentence being
the kth element of the sequence containing them, where k is the number given as second
argument. If the control sequence is already defined we issue an error and don’t perform
the definition.

3.5 Internal functions
\kgl_process:nn The function \kgl_process:nn sets the temporary variables \l_kgl_start_int and
\l_kgl_end_int. If the optional argument to \kant is missing they are already set to
1 and 7 respectively; otherwise the argument has been split into its components; if the
argument was [m] we set both variables to m, otherwise it was in the form [m-n] and
we do the obvious action.
74 \cs_new_protected:Nn \kgl_process:nn
75 {
76 \int_set:Nn \l_kgl_start_int {#1}
77 \IfNoValueTF{#2}
78 { \int_set:Nn \l_kgl_end_int {#1} }
79 { \int_set:Nn \l_kgl_end_int {#2} }
80 }
\kgl_print: The printing routine is in the function \kgl_print:; we start a loop printing item number
\kgl_use:n x in the sequence \g_kgl_pars_seq for all numbers x in the specified range. The function
\kgl_use:n function is a wrapper to be used with \int_step_function:nnnN: it’s passed
a number as argument, builds the constant name corresponding to it and produces the
text. If the index entry is to be issued, the appropriate element from \g_kgl_words_seq
is used; the page reference might not be correct, though.
81 \cs_new_protected:Nn \kgl_print:
82 {
83 \int_step_function:nnnN
84 {\l_kgl_start_int} {1} {\l_kgl_end_int} \kgl_use:n
85 }
86 \cs_new:Nn \kgl_use:n
87 {
88 \kgl_number:n {#1}
89 \bool_if:NT \g_kgl_makeindex_bool
90 {
91 \use:x { \exp_not:N \index{ \seq_item:Nn \g_kgl_words_seq {#1} } }
92 }
93 \seq_item:Nn \g_kgl_pars_seq {#1}
94 }
\kgl_newpara:n The \kgl_newpara:n appends a new item to the sequence \g_kgl_pars_seq consisting
of, say, htext of the 42nd sentencei\kgl_par:
95 \cs_new_protected:Nn \kgl_newpara:n
96 { \seq_gput_right:Nn \g_kgl_pars_seq {#1\kgl_par:} }
\kgl_newword:n The \kgl_newword:n appends a new item to the sequence \g_kgl_words_seq consisting
of one word from the corresponding paragraph.
97 \cs_new_protected:Nn \kgl_newword:n
98 { \seq_gput_right:Nn \g_kgl_words_seq {#1} }

3.6 Defining the sentences
We start a group where we set \l_tmpa_int to 0 and the category code of the space to
10 so as not to be forced to write ~ for spaces.
99 \group_begin:
100 \char_set_catcode_space:n {‘\ }
Then we provide all of the sentences with the pattern \kgl_newpara:n {htexti}
101 \kgl_newpara:n {As any dedicated reader can clearly see, the Ideal of
102 practical reason is a representation of, as far as I know, the things
103 in themselves; as I have shown elsewhere, the phenomena should only be
104 used as a canon for our understanding. The paralogisms of practical
105 reason are what first give rise to the architectonic of practical
106 reason. As will easily be shown in the next section, reason would
107 thereby be made to contradict, in view of these considerations, the
108 Ideal of practical reason, yet the manifold depends on the phenomena.
109 Necessity depends on, when thus treated as the practical employment of
110 the never-ending regress in the series of empirical conditions, time.
111 Human reason depends on our sense perceptions, by means of analytic
112 unity. There can be no doubt that the objects in space and time are
113 what first give rise to human reason.}
114
145 \kgl_newpara:n {As we have already seen, what we have alone been able
146 to show is that the objects in space and time would be falsified; what
6
147 we have alone been able to show is that, our judgements are what first
148 give rise to metaphysics. As I have shown elsewhere, Aristotle tells
149 us that the objects in space and time, in the full sense of these
150 terms, would be falsified. Let us suppose that, indeed, our
151 problematic judgements, indeed, can be treated like our concepts. As
152 any dedicated reader can clearly see, our knowledge can be treated
153 like the transcendental unity of apperception, but the phenomena
154 occupy part of the sphere of the manifold concerning the existence of
155 natural causes in general. Whence comes the architectonic of natural
156 reason, the solution of which involves the relation between necessity
157 and the Categories? Natural causes (and it is not at all certain that
158 this is the case) constitute the whole content for the paralogisms.
159 This could not be passed over in a complete system of transcendental
160 philosophy, but in a merely critical essay the simple mention of the
161 fact may suffice.}
162
163 \kgl_newpara:n {Therefore, we can deduce that the objects in space and
164 time (and I assert, however, that this is the case) have lying before
165 them the objects in space and time. Because of our necessary ignorance
166 of the conditions, it must not be supposed that, then, formal logic
167 (and what we have alone been able to show is that this is true) is a
168 representation of the never-ending regress in the series of empirical
169 conditions, but the discipline of pure reason, in so far as this
170 expounds the contradictory rules of metaphysics, depends on the
171 Antinomies. By means of analytic unity, our faculties, therefore, can
172 never, as a whole, furnish a true and demonstrated science, because,
173 like the transcendental unity of apperception, they constitute the
174 whole content for a priori principles; for these reasons, our
175 experience is just as necessary as, in accordance with the principles
176 of our a priori knowledge, philosophy. The objects in space and time
177 abstract from all content of knowledge. Has it ever been suggested
178 that it remains a mystery why there is no relation between the
179 Antinomies and the phenomena? It must not be supposed that the
180 Antinomies (and it is not at all certain that this is the case) are
181 the clue to the discovery of philosophy, because of our necessary
182 ignorance of the conditions. As I have shown elsewhere, to avoid all
183 misapprehension, it is necessary to explain that our understanding
184 (and it must not be supposed that this is true) is what first gives
185 rise to the architectonic of pure reason, as is evident upon close
186 examination.}
187
188 \kgl_newpara:n {The things in themselves are what first give rise to
189 reason, as is proven in the ontological manuals. By virtue of natural
190 reason, let us suppose that the transcendental unity of apperception
191 abstracts from all content of knowledge; in view of these
192 considerations, the Ideal of human reason, on the contrary, is the key
193 to understanding pure logic. Let us suppose that, irrespective of all
194 empirical conditions, our understanding stands in need of our
195 disjunctive judgements. As is shown in the writings of Aristotle, pure
196 logic, in the case of the discipline of natural reason, abstracts from
197 all content of knowledge. Our understanding is a representation of, in
198 accordance with the principles of the employment of the paralogisms,
199 time. I assert, as I have shown elsewhere, that our concepts can be
200 treated like metaphysics. By means of the Ideal, it must not be
7
201 supposed that the objects in space and time are what first give rise

256
271 \kgl_newpara:n {By virtue of natural reason, what we have alone been
272 able to show is that, in so far as this expounds the universal rules
273 of our a posteriori concepts, the architectonic of natural reason can
274 be treated like the architectonic of practical reason. Thus, our
275 speculative judgements can not take account of the Ideal, since none
276 of the Categories are speculative. With the sole exception of the
277 Ideal, it is not at all certain that the transcendental objects in
278 space and time prove the validity of, for example, the noumena, as is
279 shown in the writings of Aristotle. As we have already seen, our
280 experience is the clue to the discovery of the Antinomies; in the
281 study of pure logic, our knowledge is just as necessary as, thus,
282 space. By virtue of practical reason, the noumena, still, stand in
283 need to the pure employment of the things in themselves.}
284
9
309 \kgl_newpara:n {However, we can deduce that our experience (and it
310 must not be supposed that this is true) stands in need of our
311 experience, as we have already seen. On the other hand, it is not at
312 all certain that necessity is a representation of, by means of the
313 practical employment of the paralogisms of practical reason, the
314 noumena. In all theoretical sciences, our faculties are what first
315 give rise to natural causes. To avoid all misapprehension, it is
316 necessary to explain that our ideas can never, as a whole, furnish a
317 true and demonstrated science, because, like the Ideal of natural
318 reason, they stand in need to inductive principles, as is shown in the
319 writings of Galileo. As I have elsewhere shown, natural causes, in
320 respect of the intelligible character, exist in the objects in space
321 and time.}
322
323 \kgl_newpara:n {Our ideas, in the case of the Ideal of pure reason,
324 are by their very nature contradictory. The objects in space and time
325 can not take account of our understanding, and philosophy excludes the
326 possibility of, certainly, space. I assert that our ideas, by means
327 of philosophy, constitute a body of demonstrated doctrine, and all of
328 this body must be known a posteriori, by means of analysis. It must
329 not be supposed that space is by its very nature contradictory. Space
330 would thereby be made to contradict, in the case of the manifold, the
331 manifold. As is proven in the ontological manuals, Aristotle tells us
332 that, in accordance with the principles of the discipline of human
333 reason, the never-ending regress in the series of empirical conditions
334 has lying before it our experience. This could not be passed over in
335 a complete system of transcendental philosophy, but in a merely
336 critical essay the simple mention of the fact may suffice.}
337
353 \kgl_newpara:n {Time (and let us suppose that this is true) is the
354 clue to the discovery of the Categories, as we have already seen.
355 Since knowledge of our faculties is a priori, to avoid all
356 misapprehension, it is necessary to explain that the empirical objects
357 in space and time can not take account of, in the case of the Ideal of
358 natural reason, the manifold. It must not be supposed that pure
359 reason stands in need of, certainly, our sense perceptions. On the
360 other hand, our ampliative judgements would thereby be made to
361 contradict, in the full sense of these terms, our hypothetical
362 judgements. I assert, still, that philosophy is a representation of,
10
363 however, formal logic; in the case of the manifold, the objects in
364 space and time can be treated like the paralogisms of natural reason.
365 This is what chiefly concerns us.}
366
367 \kgl_newpara:n {Because of the relation between pure logic and natural
368 causes, to avoid all misapprehension, it is necessary to explain that,
369 even as this relates to the thing in itself, pure reason constitutes
370 the whole content for our concepts, but the Ideal of practical reason
371 may not contradict itself, but it is still possible that it may be in
372 contradictions with, then, natural reason. It remains a mystery why
373 natural causes would thereby be made to contradict the noumena; by
374 means of our understanding, the Categories are just as necessary as
375 our concepts. The Ideal, irrespective of all empirical conditions,
376 depends on the Categories, as is shown in the writings of Aristotle.
377 It is obvious that our ideas (and there can be no doubt that this is
378 the case) constitute the whole content of practical reason. The
379 Antinomies have nothing to do with the objects in space and time, yet
380 general logic, in respect of the intelligible character, has nothing
381 to do with our judgements. In my present remarks I am referring to
382 the transcendental aesthetic only in so far as it is founded on
383 analytic principles.}
384
385 \kgl_newpara:n {With the sole exception of our a priori knowledge, our
386 faculties have nothing to do with our faculties. Pure reason (and we
387 can deduce that this is true) would thereby be made to contradict the

389 transcendental aesthetic can thereby determine in its totality the
390 objects in space and time. We can deduce that, that is to say, our
391 experience is a representation of the paralogisms, and our
392 hypothetical judgements constitute the whole content of our concepts.
393 However, it is obvious that time can be treated like our a priori
394 knowledge, by means of analytic unity. Philosophy has nothing to do
395 with natural causes.}

460 content of the pure employment of the paralogisms of natural reason.

478 to the discovery of the transcendental unity of apperception, by means
479 of analysis. We can deduce that our faculties, in particular, can be
480 treated like the thing in itself; in the study of metaphysics, the
481 thing in itself proves the validity of space. And can I entertain the
482 Transcendental Deduction in thought, or does it present itself to me?

534 the practical employment of our judgements. Space, consequently, is a

555 is necessary to explain that the Categories occupy part of the sphere
556 of the discipline of human reason concerning the existence of our
557 faculties in general. The transcendental aesthetic, in so far as this
558 expounds the contradictory rules of our a priori concepts, is the mere
559 result of the power of our understanding, a blind but indispensable
560 function of the soul. The manifold, in respect of the intelligible

580 contradictions with disjunctive principles. (Because of our necessary
581 ignorance of the conditions, the thing in itself is what first gives
582 rise to, insomuch as the transcendental aesthetic relies on the
583 objects in space and time, the transcendental objects in space and

585 conditions excludes the possibility of philosophy.) As we have
586 already seen, time depends on the objects in space and time; in the
587 study of the architectonic of pure reason, the phenomena are the clue
588 to the discovery of our understanding. Because of our necessary
589 ignorance of the conditions, I assert that, indeed, the architectonic
590 of natural reason, as I have elsewhere shown, would be falsified.}
