A NEW YORK TIMES AND NEW YORKER BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR A poet, a physicist, and a philosopher explored the greatest enigmas in the universe—the nature of free will, the strange fabric of the cosmos, the true limits of the mind—and each in their own way uncovered a revelatory truth about our place in the world “[A] mind-expanding book. . . . Elegantly written.” —The New York Times “A remarkable synthesis of the thoughts, ideas, and discoveries of three of the greatest minds that our species has produced.” —John Banville, The Wall Street Journal Argentine poet Jorge Luis Borges was madly in love when his life was shattered by painful heartbreak. But the breakdown that followed illuminated an incontrovertible truth—that love is necessarily imbued with loss, that the one doesn’t exist without the other. German physicist Werner Heisenberg was fighting with the scientific establishment on the meaning of the quantum realm’s absurdity when he had his own epiphany—that there is no such thing as a complete, perfect description of reality. Prussian philosopher Immanuel Kant pushed the assumptions of human reason to their mind-bending conclusions, but emerged with an idea that crowned a towering philosophical system—that the human mind has fundamental limits, and those limits undergird both our greatest achievements as well as our missteps. Through fiction, science, and philosophy, the work of these three thinkers coalesced around the powerful, haunting fact that there is an irreconcilable difference between reality “out there” and reality as we experience it. Out of this profound truth comes a multitude of galvanizing ideas: the notion of selfhood, free will, and purpose in human life; the roots of morality, aesthetics, and reason; and the origins and nature of the cosmos itself. As each of these thinkers shows, every one of us has an incomplete picture of the world. But it's only as mortal, finite beings are we able to experience the world in its richness and breathtaking majesty. A soaring and lucid reflection on the lives and work of Borges, Heisenberg, and Kant, The Rigor of Angels movingly demonstrates that the mysteries of our place in the world may always loom over us—not as a threat, but as a reminder of our humble humanity.

From the 17th to 18th centuries, bold thinkers cast off the authority of ancient traditions and embraced reason as the primary tool for understanding the world. These rationalists, or early modern philosophers, included René Descartes, Baruch Spinoza, and Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz—visionaries whose answers to profound questions remain relevant today.Early Modern Philosophy: Descartes and the Rationalists covers the key philosophers of this period in 12 fascinating half-hour lectures, presented by award-winning teacher James D. Reid, Professor of Philosophy at Metropolitan State University of Denver.The rationalists addressed momentous questions such as: What can we know for certain? Are we truly free? Is there a God or a higher power? In addition to Descartes, Spinoza, and Leibniz, this course also covers Princess Elisabeth of Bohemia, Lady Anne Conway, and Nicolas Malebranche, who each contributed unique perspectives on mind-body interaction, the nature of substance, and the role of God in human understanding.It is no accident that early modern philosophy developed in tandem with the Scientific Revolution, spearheaded by Kepler and Galileo, among others. Together, the two movements laid the foundation for a fully modern world, guided by reason, systematic inquiry, empirical evidence, and a growing secular view of the universe that emphasizes human autonomy. As a result, taking this course is like witnessing the birth of the modern mind.Professor Reid shows how the rationalists serve as a bridge between the Scholasticism of the late Middle Ages and philosophers of the 18th-century Enlightenment, including David Hume, Immanuel Kant, John Locke, and Voltaire. Their influence also extends to 19th and 20th centuries, with Kierkegaard, Nietzsche, Heidegger, Sartre, and other renowned thinkers.PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Schopenhauer examines a total of thirty-eight methods of defeating one's opponent in a debate. He introduces his essay with the idea that philosophers have concentrated in ample measure on the rules of logic, but have not (especially since the time of Immanuel Kant) engaged with the darker art of the dialectic, of controversy. Whereas the purpose of logic is classically said to be a method of arriving at the truth, dialectic, says Schopenhauer, "...on the other hand, would treat of the intercourse between two rational beings who, because they are rational, ought to think in common, but who, as soon as they cease to agree like two clocks keeping exactly the same time, create a disputation, or intellectual contest."

The early Greek Cynic, Diogenes, when asked where he came from simply replied: kosmopolitēs - ‘I am a citizen of the world’. The ethical and political paradigm of cosmopolitanism is often exclusively attributed to the ancient schools of Cynicism and Stoicism. Cosmopolitanism is commonly assumed to have reached an impasse throughout the Middle Ages, only to resurface during the Enlightenment with the political philosophies of Hugo Grotius, Adam Smith, and Immanuel Kant. However, the political philosophy of Abū Naṣr al-Fārābī (870-950 CE), represents a promising avenue for the revival and expansion of cosmopolitanism. By harmonizing Plato and Aristotle with Neoplatonism and Islamic theology (kalām) in a radically innovative manner, al-Fārābī ambitiously proposes the existence of a political community extending across the entire inhabited world. This book demonstrates that the possibility and promise of al-Fārābī’s cosmopolitanism remains an enduring contribution to contemporary debates concerning the future of democracy and global political association.

If you want to discover the captivating history of the Age of Enlightenment, then keep reading...Free History BONUS Inside!The life of an eminent scientist during the Scientific Revolution and the ensuing Enlightenment was not easy. Ambitious people were killed in the name of the Catholic Church for their scientific and philosophical works, which were often viewed as heretical. As time went on, however, and the truths of scientific research and exploration showed themselves time and time again, the collective perspective of the population began to shift away from religious dogma toward the logical scientific method. The Enlightenment gained traction in the 17th century, and more emphasis was given to scientific techniques in the schools, as well as to the separation of religious and scientific data. Religious philosophies also became less rooted in the exact words of the Catholic Church, as papal authority gave way in many European countries to splinter groups of Christianity, such as the Calvinists, Lutherans, and other types of Protestants. Major figures of the Enlightenment period include Voltaire, Isaac Newton, John Locke, Thomas Hobbes, David Hume, Jean-Jacques Rousseau, Adam Smith, Immanuel Kant, and Thomas Jefferson. These and many other great thinkers of the era influenced mass social upheaval in pursuit of equality and human rights, and many historians consider the culmination of these efforts to have been the French Revolution of 1789. In Age of Enlightenment: A Captivating Guide to the Age of Reason, Including the Lives of Isaac Newton, Francis Bacon, John Locke, and Mary Somerville, you will discover topics such asThe Republic of LettersMichel de MontaigneFrancis BaconMarie de GournayRené DescartesBathsua MakinAnna Maria Van SchurmanDorothy MoorePrincess Elisabeth of BohemiaRobert BoyleJohn LockeIsaac NewtonEngland's Civil WarThe Royal Society of LondonMarie du MoulinConflict in the Royal SocietyCharles-Louis de Secondat (Montesquieu)Benjamin FranklinDavid HumeAdam SmithThe Boston Tea PartyThomas PaineThe American RevolutionFrançois-Marie Arouet (Voltaire)Mary SommervilleAnd much, much more!So if you want to learn more about the Age of Enlightenment, scroll up and click the "add to cart" button!

This book is fourth in a series devoted to helping students understand some of the great works in ethics, social and political philosophy. It has been said that Kant's Grounding for the Metaphysics of Morals "is the single most important work in modern moral philosophy" (Henry Allison). It is also one of the most difficult books to comprehend, especially for beginning philosophy students. Understanding Immanuel Kant makes Kant accessible to students while at the same time showing why his writings have had such a powerful influence on philosophical ethics. Professor Houlgate's book is not a scholarly monograph on Kant, nor is it a bare-bones outline of Kant's writings. Instead, the book gives the reader an interpretation of Kant in ordinary language, explaining the technical words Kant uses ("analytic," "synthetic," "categorical imperative," "autonomy of the will") and using examples of moral problems drawn from everyday life. The book also shows how Kantian ethics differs from the theories of the other great philosophers represented in the series (Plato, Locke and Mill). Each chapter concludes with questions for thought and discussion and within these questions students will find many topics that can be pursued in term papers. Read more

Die Ideologie der Identität hält das gesamte politische Spektrum besetzt – während die Linke in Kategorien von race und gender kämpft, betreibt die Rechte Politik im Namen der Nation. Und der Universalismus? Geschrumpft auf eine leere Hülle. Denn der moderne Liberalismus ist alles andere als Humanismus: Anstatt die von Kant postulierten, absoluten Pflichten gegenüber den Menschen zu schützen, schützt der Liberalismus die Interessen der Bürger. Nicht ohne Grund prangern ihn deshalb viele als Rassismus an. Omri Boehm führt uns zurück zum Ursprung, zum radikalen Universalismus der jüdischen Propheten und ihrer Wiederentdeckung durch Immanuel Kant. Sein Buch ist ein eindringliches Plädoyer, diesen humanistischen Universalismus zum Leben zu erwecken. Read more

[T]he present groundwork is nothing more than the identification and vindication of the supreme principle of morality.' In the Groundwork for the Metaphysics of Morals (1785), Immanuel Kant makes clear his two central intentions: first, to uncover the principle that underpins morality, and secondly to defend its applicability to human beings. The result is one of the most significant texts in the history of ethics, and a masterpiece of Enlightenment thinking. Kant argues that moral law tells us to act only in ways that others could also act, thereby treating them as ends in themselves and not merely as means. Kant contends that despite apparent threats to our freedom from science, and to ethics from our self-interest, we can nonetheless take ourselves to be free rational agents, who as such have a motivation to act on this moral law, and thus the ability to act as moral beings.One of the most studied works of moral philosophy, this new translation by Robert Stern, Joe Saunders, and Christopher Bennett illuminates this famous text for modern readers.

¿Todavía tiene sentido hablar de universalismo? El reputado profesor y teórico Omri Boehm tiende un puente entre la filosofía y la política contemporánea en esta crítica del pensamiento identitario.¿Qué valores básicos defendemos en las democracias liberales? ¿Puede salvarse aún hoy el universalismo? Sí, pero debemos volver a sus orígenes: solo cuando comprendamos realmente el atractivo humanista de figuras como las de los profetas bíblicos o la de Immanuel Kant podremos luchar sin concesiones contra la injusticia y en favor de la igualdad absoluta de las personas.En Universalismo radical, Omri Boehm ofrece algo más que una nueva interpretación del concepto: revoluciona nuestra comprensión fundamental de lo que es de verdad el universalismo y explica por qué debemos tener esperanza si no queremos vernos abocados a una distopía. Para ello, recurre a Kant y a su a menudo incomprendida recuperación del monoteísmo ético de los profetas judíos. Es una propuesta audaz que, por su osadía, abre una salida al estancado debate sobre la identidad.La crítica ha dicho...«La preocupación de Omri Boehm va más allá de los debates de moda sobre la apropiación cultural. Le preocupan los fundamentos de la política de la identidad, que se está convirtiendo cada vez más en una jaula».Neue Zürcher Zeitung«Un ensayo formulado con pasión y claridad».Der Tagesspiegel«Un profundo intento por defender el ideal humanista de volver a comprometer a las personas con el amor absoluto a la humanidad.»Süddeutsche Zeitung«El caso ideal de intervención intelectual; está escrito densamente, pero es de gran claridad».Die Zeit Read more

This carefully crafted ebook: "The Critique of Pure Reason: Base Plan for Transcendental Philosophy" is formatted for your eReader with a functional and detailed table of contents.
The Critique of Pure Reason is one of the most influential works in the history of philosophy and marks a turning point and the beginning of modern philosophy. Also referred to as Kant's "first critique," it was followed by the Critique of Practical Reason and by the Critique of Judgment. In the preface to the first edition, Kant explains what he means by a critique of pure reason: "I do not mean by this a critique of books and systems, but of the faculty of reason in general, in respect of all knowledge after which it may strive independently of all experience."
Immanuel Kant (1724-1804) was a German philosopher, who, according to the Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy is "the central figure of modern philosophy." Kant argued that fundamental concepts of the human mind structure human experience, that reason is the source of morality, that aesthetics arises from a faculty of disinterested judgment, that space and time are forms of our understanding, and that the world as it is "in-itself" is unknowable. Kant took himself to have effected a Copernican revolution in philosophy, akin to Copernicus' reversal of the age-old belief that the sun revolved around the earth. Read more

NUOVA TRADUZIONE MODERNA AGGIORNATAIN ITALIANO CORRENTE [2022]IL TESTO FONDAMENTALE DEL PACIFISMO GIURIDICOIl sogno della pace universale e perpetua è una vecchia idea. Essa risale alla filosofia stoica e al cristianesimo. E' stato ripreso nel Medio Evo da Dante che identificava nell'Impero l'istituzione da costruire per realizzare la pace.Ma il progetto di Immanuel Kant, elaborato durante la Rivoluzione francese e formulato, alle soglie dell'era della democrazia e del nazionalismo, nel suo saggio Per La Pace Perpetua nel 1795 è profondamente differente da tutti i progetti precedenti.Esso non era concepito come una proposta da sottomettere a un imperatore capace di unire un gruppo di Stati entro le frontiere di un impero o a governi o diplomatici per realizzare un migliore equilibrio di potere. Kant sostiene l'idea che la pace universale e permanente presuppone il superamento della sovranità degli Stati e dell'anarchia internazionale e la formazione di una federazione che abbracci poco a poco tutti i popoli della terra.QUAL È L’IDEA INNOVATIVA DI IMMANUEL KANT PER LA PACE PERPETUA?Idealmente, il progetto filosofico per la pace perpetua è un trattato fra nazioni la cui meta è l'istituzione di un ordinamento cosmopolitico che liberi il mondo dalla guerra e lo sottometta alla sovranità del diritto.COME SI RAGGIUNGE LA PACE PERPETUA PER KANT?Secondo Immanuel Kant, infatti, per garantire la pace, gli Stati devono istituire un patto reciproco per cui è necessaria una federazione particolare, “la federazione di pace (foedus pacificum) che si differenzia dal trattato di pace (pactum pacis) per il fatto che questo cerca di porre fine semplicemente a una guerra, quella invece a tutte le guerre per sempre”.Non occorre che l'uomo sia buono, perché moralmente non lo è e non lo sarà mai, ma occorre che ci sia uno stato duro che imponga le sue norme e porti ad essere tutti buoni cittadini anche un popolo fatto di diavoli.PERCHÈ È NECESSARIO RAGGIUNGERE LA PACE PERPETUA?Lo stato di pace deve dunque essere istituito, poiché la mancanza di ostilità non significa ancora sicurezza, e se questa non è garantita da un vicino ad un altro (il che può aver luogo unicamente in uno stato legale) questi può trattare come nemico quello a cui tale garanzia abbia richiesto invano.
