Gods in ruins, Hillary Rodham Clinton and the Great Wall of China

There a basic understanding of three Kantian claims, which can be traced throughout his philosophy: that the human mind “forms” experience; that the existence of such mental operations is a counter to skepticism; and that “transcendental” does not mean “transcendent” or beyond human experience altogether, but something through which experience is made possible human experience altogether, but something through which experience is made possible

It will help to bring out the contrast being invoked here if we consider two properties that have nothing to do with truth, 
1 the property of being, i.e. the property of having existence, #
2. and the property of being a mammal. 

Consider Hillary Rodham Clinton and the Great Wall of China. Do these objects have the property of existence? Well, in one sense, they do: they both exist so they both have the property of existence. On the other hand, however, there is no common explanation as to why they both exist. Indeed.  What explains the existence of the Great Wall is the architectural and defense policies of classical China; 
what explains the existence of Hillary Rodham Clinton is Mr and Mrs Rodham, which makes on think of us humans as Gods in ruins.
