The Soul of Science, ch. 7

"It's sometimes said that Kant instituted a new Copernican revolution. Just as Copernicus had placed the sun at the center of the planets, so Kant placed the human mind at the center of the universe." I never realized what an impact Kant had on other disciplines. It makes sense in light of his epistemological theories. However, I did not realize that the whole trajectory of math and then the rest of human knowledge was split as a result. The authors draw careful lines showing how knowledge has truly become a fallen idol. I appreciated most the final chapters in which Pearcey and Thaxton recover knowledge as founded upon God in general and the problem of the criterion in particular.
