Immanuel Kant

This is a most complete English edition of Kant's correspondence. The letters are concerned with philosophical and scientific topics but many also treat personal, historical and cultural matters. On one level the letters chart Kant's philosophical development. On another level they expose quirks and foibles, and reveal a good deal about Kant's friendships and philosophical battles with some of the prominent thinkers of the time: Herder, Hamann, Mendelssohn and Fichte. What emerges from these pages is a vivid picture of the intellectual, religious and political currents of the late eighteenth-century Prussia, in which there is much to be learnt about topics such as censorship, and the changing status of Jews and women in Europe. Amongst the special features of this volume are: a substantial introduction, detailed explanatory notes, a glossary, and biographical sketches of correspondents and people referred to in the letters.

Kant skrev "Prolegomena" med det formål at klargøre og forklare hans tidligere værk "Kritik af den rene fornuft". I denne tekst præsenterer Kant sine overordnede ideer om erkendelsesteori, hvor han skelner mellem a priori og a posteriori viden. A priori viden er uafhængig af erfaringen, mens a posteriori viden er baseret på erfaring. Han fremfører også sin berømte "transcendentale idealisme". Han argumenterer for, at vores erkendelse og forståelse af verden er formet af vores tankestrukturer. Realiteten er i sig selv uerkendelig, og det, vi opfatter som den virkelige verden, er egentlig en konstruktion produceret af vores sind. Endelig prøver Kant at forklare det metafysiske grundlag for videnskaben, og argumenterer for, at viden om matematik og naturvidenskaben er a priori fornuftsbaseret.

Immanuel Kant’sProlegomena is an indispensable guide through the obscure and convoluted tangle of his “critical philosophy.” It has inestimable value as an introduction to the revolutionary doctrine that he called “transcendental idealism” and clarifies the points made in his greatest and most influential book, the Critique of Pure Reason. The Prolegomena is a pivot of Kant’s revolutions in metaphysics and epistemology.

Immanuil Kant - velikij filosof, rodonachalnik nemetskoj klassicheskoj filosofii. Ego trud "Kritika chistogo razuma" javljaetsja glavnym sochineniem filosofa i odnoj iz fundamentalnykh rabot v istorii filosofii. "Kritika chistogo razuma" ne predstavljaet soboj odnu strojno vystroennuju sistemu, ona skoree javljaetsja izlozheniem popytok Kanta sformulirovat i razreshit te problemnye voprosy, kotorye voznikajut v protsesse issledovanija. Kant obdumyval svoj trud neskolko desjatiletij, a pisal neskolko mesjatsev, po ego sobstvennomu priznaniju, ne ochen zadumyvajas nad jasnostju izlozhenija svoikh idej. Tak chto ne zrja uzhe pervye chitateli byli obeskurazheny izlishnej slozhnostju i zaputannostju etoj raboty. Predstavljaem chitatelju szhatyj do osnovnykh polozhenij kontsentrat etogo neposilnogo dlja prochtenija sovremennym chelovekom nauchnogo truda.

Immanuil Kant - velichajshij iz filosofov Novogo vremeni, osnovopolozhnik klassicheskoj nemetskoj filosofii. Krug professionalnykh interesov Kanta byl neobychajno shirok. On razrabotal teoriju proiskhozhdenija solnechnoj sistemy, izuchal zemletrjasenija, chital lektsii po fizike i geografii. Odnako vazhnejshimi rabotami Kanta, sovershivshimi podlinnyj perevorot v oblasti mysli, javljajutsja tak nazyvaemye "kriticheskie trudy", posvjaschennye teorii poznanija. Samym vazhnym iz nikh bezuslovno javljaetsja "Kritika chistogo razuma", kniga, sovershivshaja perevorot v oblasti filosofii, sravnimyj s perevorotom, kotoryj sovershil Kopernik v oblasti astronomii. Osnovnaja tsel "Kritiki chistogo razuma" - opredelit granitsy chelovecheskoj mysli, odnako poputno Kant podnimaet inye fundamentalnye voprosy bytija, sredi kotorykh novoe uchenie o prostranstve i vremeni i dokazatelstvo suschestvovanija Boga, kotoroe obychno nazyvajut "nravstvennym" ili "antropologicheskim".

Immanuel Kant’s views on politics, peace, and history have lost none of their relevance since their publication more than two centuries ago. This volume contains a comprehensive collection of Kant’s writings on international relations theory and political philosophy, superbly translated and accompanied by stimulating essays. Pauline Kleingeld provides a lucid introduction to the main themes of the volume, and three essays by distinguished contributors follow: Jeremy Waldron on Kant’s theory of the state; Michael W. Doyle on the implications of Kant’s political theory for his theory of international relations; and Allen W. Wood on Kant’s philosophical approach to history and its current relevance.
