140. Occult Research into Life Between Death and a New Birth: The Cosmic Aspect of Life between Death and New Birth 17 Feb 1913, Stuttgart
Translated by Ruth Hofrichter

But now we will consider one more thing. Kant once, following truly, one might say, an inspiration, made this significant statement: “Two things have made a great impression on me: the starry sky above me and the moral law within me.”
227. The Evolution of Consciousness: Inspiration and Intuition 20 Aug 1923, Penmaenmawr
Translated by Violet E. Watkin, Charles Davy

At this comparatively early age a child has to accept the laws relating, let us say, to the Copernican world-system, and on this system are built hypotheses as to the origin of the universe. The Kant-Laplace theory is then put forward and, though this theory has been revised, yet in its essentials it still holds good.
4. The Philosophy of Spiritual Activity (1986): Are There Limits to Knowing?
Translated by William Lindemann

[ 3 ] Out of such a dualism has sprung the differentiation between the object of perception and the “thing-in-itself” which, through Kant, has been introduced into science and to the present day has not been expelled from it. According to our expositions, it lies in the nature of our spiritual organization that a particular thing can be given only as a perception.
4. The Philosophy of Freedom (1964): Are There Limits to Knowledge?
Translated by Michael Wilson

[ 3 ] It is from a dualism such as this that there arises the distinction between the perceptual object and the thing-in-itself, which Kant introduced into philosophy, and which, to the present day, we have not succeeded in eradicating. According to our line of argument, it is due to the nature of our mental organization that a particular thing can be given to us only as a percept.
53. Fundamentals of Theosophy The Origin of the Earth 09 Mar 1905, Berlin

You need only to go back according to the Kant-Laplace theory to the time when the single planets do not yet circle the sun, have not yet developed from the primal nebula, and then you have a valiant, but correct hypothesis.
4. The Philosophy of Spiritual Activity (1949): Are There Limits to Knowledge?
Translated by Hermann Poppelbaum

[ 3 ] It is from a Dualism such as this that there arises the distinction between the object of perception and the thing-in-itself, which Kant introduced into science, and which, to the present day, we have not succeeded in expelling. According to our interpretation, it is due to the nature of our spiritual organization that a particular thing can be given to us only as a percept.
6. Goethe's World View: The Metamorphosis of World Phenomena
Translated by William Lindemann

For this reason he says that man is not born “to solve the problems of the world but in fact to seek where the problem begins, and then to keep oneself within the limits of what is understandable.” He says, “Kant has unquestionably been of most use in his drawing of the limits to which the human spirit is capable of penetrating, and through the fact that he J unsolvable problems lie.”
90b. Self-Knowledge and God-Knowledge II: Knowledge of the Higher Worlds III 28 Dec 1905, Berlin

The next stage is reached when a person is able to feel the same way about the mineral kingdom as I said for plants, about inanimate nature. Kant said: two things fill him with a sense of awe, the starry sky above him and the moral law within him.
69e. The Humanities and the Future of Humanity: Truths and Fallacies of Spiritual Research 11 Jan 1913, Leipzig

But experience also makes a precise distinction between idea, mere fantasy and what is real; or should a person be able to distinguish between a hot iron that is imagined and a real hot iron? The same applies to Kant's sentence that three real thalers contain no more or less than three possible thalers. You can pay a debt with real thalers, but not with possible ones.
83. The Tension Between East and West: The Individual Spirit and the Social Structure 08 Jun 1922, Vienna
Translated by B. A. Rowley

In consequence, spiritual vision arrives, not at the purely mechanistic Kant-Laplace nebula, but at an origin of the earth that is to be interpreted physically and spiritually.
