Kant, Immanuel (1996), pages 219-220
“
Nature made women mature early and had them demand gentle and polite treatment from men, so that they would find themselves imperceptibly fettered by a child due to their own magnanimity; and they would find themselves brought, if not quite to morality itself, then at least to that which cloaks it, moral behavior, which is the preparation and introduction to morality.
— Immanuel Kant
What It Means
This is a placeholder explanation generated by the low-overhead model. It interprets "Nature made women mature early and had them demand gentle and polite treatment from men, so that they would find themselves imperceptibly fettered by a child due to their own magnanimity; and they would find themselves brought, if not quite to morality itself, then at least to that which cloaks it, moral behavior, which is the preparation and introduction to morality." in the context of "Kant, Immanuel (1996), pages 219-220" to mean that wisdom is timeless.
