The Critique of Pure Reason by Immanuel Kant
Summary
Immanuel Kant stands as one of the founding fathers of the school of modern philosophy. His work evoked a paradigm shift in the approach to philosophy and was the starting point for many revolutionary thinkers who followed, including Schopenhauer and Nietzsche. The Critique of Pure Reason is a work that examines the faculty of reason and the qualities inherent in human thought. Before this time the influence of the knower on that which was sought to be known was not considered in a thorough and developed manner. Kant attempted with this critique to establish a limit to the knowable based on the nature of human cognition. His work was an attempt to address the failings in philosophy and metaphysics and provide a solid foundation for the proper use of reason to expand knowledge. In this attempt, he can be said to be successful, as his work evoked a shift in philosophical trajectory, which allows all thinkers subsequent to him to stand out from those who came before him in their handling of the subject of philosophy. The narration of this landmark text is preceded by a summary, which includes a biography and background information of the author, as well as an overview, a synopsis, and an analysis of the work. Capping the summary is an investigation of the historical context of Kant's work as well as an examination of the criticisms and social impact that it evoked. This work represents an essential link to understanding the philosophy of the modern era and is a must-hear for students of philosophy or for anyone with an interest in the nature of thought.

Fundamental Principles of the Metaphysics of Morals
Summary
Immanuel Kant's Fundamental Principles of the Metaphysics of Morals, first published in 1785, lays out Kant's essential philosophy and defines the concepts and arguments that would shape his later work. Central to Kant's doctrine is the categorical imperative, which he defines as a mandate that human actions should always conform to a universal, unchanging standard of rational morality. Directly opposed to utilitarian philosophy, Kant's theories have been broadly influential since their publication and stand as a seminal contribution to ethical thought. Although Kant expanded upon the ideas defined here in his later work, including the Critique of Pure Reason and the Metaphysics of Morals, it is in his Fundamental Principles of the Metaphysics of Morals that they are communicated in their most clear, concise form. This edition is the translation by Thomas Kingsmill Abbott.

Philosophie pour tous : 100 citations d'Immanuel Kant
Summary
Immanuel Kant est une figure incontournable de la philosophie allemande. On lui doit une compréhension absolument nouvelle de la façon dont l'esprit façonne l'expérience. Kant constate qu'on ne peut jamais percevoir que des phénomènes, c'est-à-dire des perceptions déterminées par nos sens et nos structures mentales, et jamais la chose objective, l'événement en soi ; à partir de là, il s'attache à décrire les structures de l'esprit à l'origine de nos perceptions. Ayant par-là répondu à la question "Que puis-je savoir", Kant en vient alors à se demander "Que puis-je faire", c'est-à-dire à poser les fondements de la morale. Ces 100 citations ont été choisies parmi ses œuvres majeures (Critique de la raison pure, Fondements de la métaphysique des mœurs, Critique du jugement, etc.), afin de fournir une approche claire et directe à la pensée d'un des plus grands philosophes.

Grandes de la filosofia [Greats of Philosophy]
Summary
La filosofía es el estudio de una variedad de problemas fundamentales acerca de cuestiones como la existencia, el conocimiento, la verdad, la moral, la belleza, la mente y el lenguaje. Al abordar estos problemas, la filosofía se distingue del misticismo, el esoterismo, la mitología y la religión por su énfasis en los argumentos racionales sobre los argumentos de autoridad, y de la ciencia porque generalmente realiza sus investigaciones de una manera no empírica,? sea mediante el análisis conceptual, los experimentos mentales? la especulación u otros métodos a priori, aunque sin desconocer la importancia de los datos empíricos. La filosofía occidental ha tenido una profunda influencia y a su vez se ha visto profundamente influida por la ciencia, la religión y la política occidentales. Titulos incluidos: El ocaso de los idolos (Nietzsche) Etica las gran moral (Aristoteles) Metafisica del amor (Schopenhauer) Por la paz perpetua (Kant) Discurso del metodo (Descartes) Please note: This audiobook is in Spanish.

Critique of Judgement
Summary
Kant’s Critique of Judgement is the third and final part of his series of Critiques, which began with Critique of Pure Reason and continued with Critique of Practical Reason. Critique of Judgement was published in 1790 and is divided into two parts, the Critique of Aesthetic Judgement and the Critique of Teleological Judgement. Our ‘judgements of taste’, as Kant describes our aesthetic judgements, have both a personal and a universal function: personal because we have a subjective aesthetic response to the ‘agreeable’, the ‘beautiful’, the ‘sublime’ and the ‘good’; but also there is a ‘universal’ aspect because our aesthetic response has a ’disinterested’ element. This brings under Kant’s spotlight, for example, the concept of beauty and the perception of beauty. Teleology, the idea that something has an end or purpose, is discussed in the second section. Here Kant, though not an atheist, questions, among other things, metaphysical proofs of God, including God as an intelligent designer. Translation of Critique of Judgement by James Creed Meredith.

The Immanuel Kant Collection
Summary
Fundamental Principles of the Metaphysics of Morals (1785) remains one of the most influential works on moral philosophy. The German philosopher Immanuel Kant sets out by explaining the core concepts and principles of moral theory and demonstrating that they are normative for rational agents. He argues that the world of understanding is more fundamental than the world of sense. Therefore the moral law, which clearly applies to the world of understanding, also applies to the world of sense because the world of understanding is primary. In The Critique of Pure Reason (1781) Kant seeks to establish the scope of metaphysics. A critique of pure reason means a critique of the faculty of reason in general, with the aim of reaching a decision on the possibility or impossibility of metaphysics. Building on the work of empiricists such as John Locke, as well as rationalists such as Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz, he attempts to find solutions to the skepticism of Hume regarding knowledge of the relation of cause and effect and that of René Descartes regarding knowledge of the external world. A key concept is the role of the categorical imperative, the idea that one ought to act only according to that precept that one would will to become a universal law.

Critique of Pure Reason
Summary
Immanuel Kant’s Critique of Pure Reason can lay claim to being the most important single work of modern philosophy, a work whose methodology, if not necessarily always its conclusions, has had a profound influence on almost all subsequent philosophical discourse. In this work Kant addresses, in a groundbreaking elucidation of the nature of reason, the age-old question of philosophy: “How do we know what we know?” and the limits of what it is that we can know with certainty. Immanuel Kant (1724 to 1804) lived his long life against the background of the Enlightenment and shared in that movement’s growing confidence in the ability of human reason, in the sciences, mathematics and, Kant was to argue, in philosophy too, to explain matters that had previously been the preserve of purely speculative thought and of metaphysics. The Critique of Pure Reason is exactly that, a critique of what ‘pure’ reason, that is to say reason independent of empirical evidence, could claim as truth, particularly with regard to such questions as freedom, causality, and the existence of a Supreme Being. As well as challenging what he saw as the contradictory metaphysical traditions of past philosophers, Kant critiqued both rationalism and empiricism, the alternative schools of philosophical thought dominant at the time, which argued, respectively, for either reason or experience as being the key to our understanding. In the Critique Kant turns these opposing schools on their head and expounds what Kant himself called a revolutionary and all-encompassing ‘Transcendental Idealism’. Instead of an objective reality which we can somehow ‘know’ through either reason or experience, Kant proposes that our knowledge of empirical objects depends upon our subjective reasoning of them (“objects must conform to our knowledge”) and not, as was usually assumed, the other way around. Kant’s exhaustively thorough and ‘scientific’ working out of this central thesis meant that all philosophers who came after him were set a benchmark against which to propound their own arguments with equal thoroughness. Indeed, Kant himself thought that, so comprehensive had his work been in its analysis both of the nature of reason itself and of the shortcomings of all previous thinkers on the subject, that his Critique of Pure Reason might be considered ‘the last word’. While this was not to be the case, this seminal work still maintains its power to challenge the way we think of ourselves in relation to the world around us and, if we really engage with Kant’s arguments and insights, to change our very understanding of what it means to be a ‘rational’ human being. This reading uses Kant’s heavily revised Second Edition of the Critique of Pure Reason, published in 1787. It is read by Michael Lunts who has also recorded Kant’s two subsequent Critiques, Critique of Practical Reason and Critique of Judgement for Ukemi Audiobooks.Translator: Norman Kemp Smith.
