Welcome to Litsy!

💥 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.

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. 🙂

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.

Adding this #Nonfiction #historical book to my #TBR stack for #NFNov.

I‘m taking a course on the Philosophy of Immanuel Kant this term. I have a midterm tomorrow and was trying to study but remembered this meme and wanted to share it! 😂

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....

#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.
