Critique of Pure Reason
Critique of Pure Reason | Immanuel Kant
Metaphysicians have for centuries attempted to clarify the nature of the world and how rational human beings construct their ideas of it. Materialists believed that the world (including its human component) consisted of objective matter, an irreducible substance to which qualities and characteristics could be attributed. Mindthoughts, ideas, and perceptionswas viewed as a more sophisticated material substance. Idealists, on the other hand, argued that the world acquired its reality from mind, which breathed metaphysical life into substances that had no independent existence of their own. These two camps seemed deadlocked until Immanuel Kant's Critique of Pure Reason endeavored to show that the most accurate theory of reality would be one that combined relevant aspects of each position, yet transcended both to arrive at a more fundamental metaphysical theory. Kant's synthesis sought to disclose how human reason goes about constructing its experience of the world, thus intertwining objective simuli with rational processes that arrive at an orderly view of nature.

💥 Wow‼️ 😃
That‘s explosive material. I‘m not saying I recall all the terms and nominations Kant introduces, but his main point can‘t do anything else but dig in one‘s brain.

I definitely see again why I loved philosophy in Highschool. 💛 I so much would want to discuss this with my teacher. 😊

The Blinkist-team did an excellent job. 👏🏼👏🏼 But anyway, this is so complex, I definitely need to come back to it to make all the terms sink in.

annamatopoetry kinda jelly that you get to read Kant in original. also, I recognize the stock photo on the cover and have definitely used it myself lol 4y

That‘s one of my plans today. As a pupil I was deeply impressed by his categorical imperative and therefore multiple times tried to read his “Metaphysics of Morals”. But I always failed.

I discovered his “Critique of Pure Reason” accidentally on German Blinkist. But immediately wanted to “read” it to learn a) what Kant essentials are and b) how the platform‘s concept will do on the _real_ tough stuff. 🙂

Critique of Pure Reason | Immanuel Kant

Philosophy has considered the matters of reason extensively. Most famously, Kant wrote a book called The Critique of Pure Reason, which makes a detailed analysis of the mind based on the idea that mental categories exist as extensions within the brain, and are understandable as esthetic functions of the world itself. The intial complexity of mental facts is simply a symptom of the limitations of our own imagination in discovering the facts.

When I think about knowledge, I cannot help but think about Immanuel Kant. I‘m so grateful that I had the opportunity to dive deep into philosophy in grad school. I feel like it really changed my life so much for the better. I quit worrying about inconsequential things...and started living authentically. It‘s surprising how much your outlook changes....

gradcat @Trashcanman I‘M SO GRATEFUL FOR THE TRASHCANMAN!! Is that better? You are so funny!! 6y
Trashcanman That seemed more like aggression than shouting it from the roof tops. Shouting from the rooftops would have had at least four exclamation points. Lol. I told you from the beginning, I'm not worth knowing. Hehehehe 6y
gradcat @Trashcanman Not aggression, I promise! Stop saying you‘re not worth knowing! You make me laugh every time I read one of your posts (or not laugh, if it‘s particularly inappropriate)! 6y

#TBRtemptation post! Call me an uber-nerd 🤓, but I'm *so* excited that my library just got a copy of this book 😁👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻!!!! One of the most important works in philosophy of all times, and quite passively the most impactful of the post-Enlightenment era. Bookstores tend to have woefully inadequate philosophy sections, even the biggest B&Ns and The Strand, and this is a surprisingly difficult tome to find. #blameLitsy #blameMrBook 😎

All our knowledge begins with the senses, proceeds then to the understanding, and ends with reason. There is nothing higher than reason.
