Prolegomena to Any Future Metaphysics (Second Edition)

The Critique of Practical Reason is the second of Kant's three Critiques, one of his three major treatises on moral theory, and a seminal text in the history of moral philosophy. Originally published three years after his Groundwork to the Metaphysics of Morals, the Critique provides further elaboration of the basic themes of Kant's moral theory, gives the most complete statement of his highly original theory of freedom of the will, and develops his practical metaphysics. This new edition of Kant's Critique of Practical Reason - prepared by an acclaimed translator and scholar of Kant's practical philosophy - presents the first new translation of this work to appear for some years. A substantial and lucid introduction by Andrews Reath places the main themes of the Critique in the context of Kant's moral theory and his critical system.

Kant: Critique of Practical Reason

Reflects the elegant achievement of Kant. This title provides a roadmap to Kant's abstract and complex argumentation by locating his view in the context of eighteenth-century, and attempts to understand the nature of the thinking mind and its ability to comprehend the physical universe.

Werner S. Pluhar

In THE CRITIQUE OF JUDGMENT (1790), Immanuel Kant (1724-1804) seeks to establish the a priori principles underlying the faculty of judgement, just as he did in his previous critiques of pure and practical reason. The first part deals with the subject of our aesthetic sensibility; we respond to certain natural phenomena as beautiful, says Kant, when we recognise in nature a harmonious order that satisfies the mind's own need for order. The second half of the critique concentrates on the apparent teleology in nature's design of organisms. Kant argues that our minds are inclined to see purpose and order in nature and this is the main principle underlying all of our judgements. Although this might imply a super sensible Designer, Kant insists that we cannot prove a supernatural dimension or the existence of God. Such considerations are beyond reason and are solely the province of faith.

Small, beautiful, classic of philosophy, with new cover.

Observations on the Feeling of the Beautiful and Sublime

Contained in this volume is the first part of Immanuel Kant's "Critique of Judgement," which is subtitled "The Critique of Aesthetic Judgement" and in which Kant discusses aesthetics and how as humans we decide what is beautiful and how in turn we respond to that beauty. Immanuel Kant, considered by many to be one of the most important philosophers of all time gives us much to consider on the nature of beauty in this intriguing exposition on the subject.

Groundwork of the Metaphysic of Morals

Cathédrale philosophique, la Critique de la raison pure (1781, 1787) n'avait pas connu de traduction française entièrement nouvelle depuis près d'un siècle. Il fallait rendre sa jeunesse à une œuvre qui demeure présente dans la réflexion contemporaine comme un sommet inégalé. Identifiant l'oubli de la finitude comme le ressort des illusions d'un savoir absolu, Kant développe ici la première déconstruction systématique de la métaphysique spéculative. Pourtant, parce que son œuvre majeure fonde aussi la perspective d'un usage légitime de la raison après sa critique, les exigences intrinsèques de la rationalité y conservent un sens pour une humanité reconduite à l'épreuve de sa condition. Ainsi la démarche kantienne se démarquait-elle par avance de toutes les critiques antirationalistes du discours rationnel. La Critique de la raison pure ouvrait la voie, non à une destruction périlleuse de la raison, mais à sa transformation postmétaphysique. En ce sens, elle continue d'offrir à la modernité philosophique un autre destin que celui qui la conduisait vers l'affrontement stérile de la spéculation et de sa simple dénégation.

Critique de la raison pure

Introduction by Allen W. Wood With translations by F. Max Müller and Thomas K. Abbott The writings of Immanuel Kant became the cornerstone of all subsequent philosophical inquiry. They articulate the relationship between the human mind and all that it encounters and remain the most important influence on our concept of knowledge. As renowned Kant scholar Allen W. Wood writes in his Introduction, Kant “virtually laid the foundation for the way people in the last two centuries have confronted such widely differing subjects as the experience of beauty and the meaning of human history.” Edited and compiled by Dr. Wood, Basic Writings of Kant stands as a comprehensive summary of Kant’s contributions to modern thought, and gathers together the most respected translations of Kant’s key moral and political writings.

The Metaphysic of Ethics

Kant is the central figure of modern philosophy. He sought to rebuild philosophy from the ground up, and he succeeded in permanently changing its problems and methods. This new, revised edition of the Prolegomena, which is the best introduction to the theoretical side of his philosophy, presents his thought clearly by paying careful attention to his original language. Also included are selections from the Critique of Pure Reason, which fill out and explicate some of Kant's central arguments (including famous sections of the Schematism and Analogies), and in which Kant himself explains his special terminology. The first reviews of the Critique, to which Kant responded in the Prolegomena, are included in this revised edition. The volume is completed by a historical and philosophical introduction, explanatory notes, a chronology, and a guide to further reading.
