Immanuel Kant

Anthropology, History, and Education (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Anthropology, History, and Education, first published in 2007, contains all of Kant's major writings on human nature. Some of these works, which were published over a thirty-nine year period between 1764 and 1803, had never before been translated into English. Kant's question 'What is the human being?' is approached indirectly in his famous works on metaphysics, epistemology, moral and legal philosophy, aesthetics and the philosophy of religion, but it is approached directly in his extensive but less well-known writings on physical and cultural anthropology, the philosophy of history, and education which are gathered in the present volume. Kant repeatedly claimed that the question 'What is the human being?' should be philosophy's most fundamental concern, and Anthropology, History, and Education can be seen as effectively presenting his philosophy as a whole in a popular guise.

Autorenporträt

Aus dem Buch: "Die Gestalt der Personen, die durch ihr äußeres Ansehen gefallen, schlägt bald in eine, bald in die andere Art des Gefühls ein. Eine große Statur erwirbt sich Ansehen und Achtung, eine kleine mehr Vertraulichkeit. Selbst die bräunliche Farbe und schwarze Augen sind dem Erhabenen, blaue Augen und blonde Farbe dem Schönen näher verwandt. Ein etwas größeres Alter vereinbart sich mehr mit den Eigenschaften des Erhabenen, Jugend aber mit denen des Schönen." Immanuel Kant (1724-1804) war ein deutscher Philosoph der Aufklärung. Kant zählt zu den bedeutendsten Vertretern der abendländischen Philosophie. Sein Werk Kritik der reinen Vernunft kennzeichnet einen Wendepunkt in der Philosophiegeschichte und den Beginn der modernen Philosophie.
