Immanuel Kant's Kritik der reinen Vernunft | Immanuel Kant

Sent to me by a friend I am not sure the source

Box has a box set of Kant 🤣😂🤣

CatLass007 I have never read Kant. Are you someone who has read him, liked it or at least learned from? If so, do you have any thoughts on an entry-level book for the uninitiated? I‘m always on the lookout for new authors to teach me new things. 10mo

CatLass007 Oh, and it‘s great that your books made it to you anyway. It‘s too bad that the gift card was lost and you don‘t know who sent it. I hope it was a generous Litten who will speak up. 10mo

ChaoticMissAdventures @CatLass007 I dabbled in philosophy in college and lets just say that we had a super rude rhyme for Kant he is tough, and a bit boring (he probably isn't as bad as I remember, or we pretended, I do believe in his founding belief). I think if you are interested in the philosophy of ethics and reasoning I would start with this one -

Fundamental Principles of the Metaphysic of Morals

ChaoticMissAdventures @Booksblanketsandahotbeverage clearly. No dragons, no shirtless men on the cover. Can't be good - ohhh maybe the “thief“ already has these books? 😂 10mo

Booksblanketsandahotbeverage Lol! Then they should have left a note with their review… 🤣 10mo

CatLass007 Thanks! 10mo

Kritik Der Reinen Vernunft | Immanuel Kant

💥 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 5y

Kritik Der Reinen Vernunft | Immanuel Kant

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. 🙂
