Red Tinted Glasses

In chapter 25 of Sophie's World, two groups of people's perspectives are shown. The rationalists, who think or base all their knowledge in their mind and experiences, and the Expiricists, who base all their knowledge on senses. The red tinted glasses is a term that means to block or to screen. This can mean that the red glasses are only making us see one colour. However, in fact there are many other colours that we see. This "red tinted glasses" means that we only see things in one perspective. But what we dont see because it is screened by the red glasses are the other perspectives that are covered. Our perspective is always limited to that one colour of the red glasses, so we dont see what things truly mean or what they are trying to tell you. Kant in a way "took off the red tinted glasses" and saw different points of views from both the rationalists and the empiricists. He believed that they both had their points to make and that both were neither right nor wrong. Everyone has a choice to wear these glasses or not. This means that everyone can choose what they believe is right and that if they put on the red tinted glasses, they wont accept others perspectives in a way that onyl supports their own.
