The Critique of Pure Reason - Immanuel Kant

in #philosophy7 years ago (edited)

Dear members

I have always been interested in philosophy and Immanuel Kant is one of the greatest thinkers of all time.

After a very long break I started to read more about philosophy and it's becoming a very important part of my life.

The videos below are some that I have selected among several ones which I liked.

Immanuel Kant's Philosophy of Ethics Summary

I hope you enjoyed the videos.

Immanuel Kant quotes - Find below a few quotes that I particularly like:

“Morality is not properly the doctrine of how we may make ourselves happy, but how we may make ourselves worthy of happiness.”

“Beauty presents an indeterminate concept of Understanding, the sublime an indeterminate concept of Reason.”

“A man abandoned by himself on a desert island would adorn neither his hut nor his person; nor would he seek for flowers, still less would he plant them, in order to adorn himself therewith. It is only in society that it occurs to him to be not merely a man, but a refined man after his kind (the beginning of civilization). For such do we judge him to be who is both inclined and apt to communicate his pleasure to others, and who is not contented with an object if he cannot feel satisfaction in it in common with others. Again, every one expects and requires from every one else this reference to universal communication of pleasure, as it were from an original compact dictated by humanity itself.”
Immanuel Kant, Critique of Judgment

The best quote:
“We are not rich by what we possess but by what we can do without.”

I will watch more videos and add more in a new post

All the Best!
