Immanuel Kant was one of the most influential philosophers in the whole of Europe, who changed Western thought with his examinations of reason and the nature of reality. This book investigates human progress, civilization, morality and why, to be truly enlightened, we must all have the freedom and courage to use our own intellect.

A new edition of one of the most influential works in moral philosophy ever written.

In THE CRITIQUE OF JUDGMENT (1790), Immanuel Kant (1724-1804) seeks to establish the a priori principles underlying the faculty of judgement, just as he did in his previous critiques of pure and practical reason. The first part deals with the subject of our aesthetic sensibility; we respond to certain natural phenomena as beautiful, says Kant, when we recognise in nature a harmonious order that ..

Kant's Critique of Judgement analyses our experience of the beautiful and the sublime in relation to nature, morality, and theology. Meredith's classic translation is here lightly revised and supplemented with a bilingual glossary. The edition also includes the important First Introduction.

This volume is the first ever English translation of Kant's last major work, Opus Postumum.

Subtitled 'and Other Essays on Politics, History and Morals'.Translated by Ted Humphrey.

This is an expanded edition of James Ellington's translation of Kant's essay, in which Kant replies to one of the standard objections to his moral theory as presented in the main text: that it requires us to tell the truth even in the face of harmful consequences.

The most accurate and informative English translation ever produced of this epochal philosophical text.

This edition includes two important texts illustrating Kants's view of history along with notes and a comprehensive bibliography.

What is the standing of a sovereign nation and what are its rights relative to other sovereign nations? What is our obligation to pursue peace?

In this short essay, Kant completes his political theory and philosophy of history, considering the prospects for peace among nations ...

This edition of Prolegomena includes Kant's letter of February 1772 to Marcus Herz, a momentous document in which Kant relates the progress of his thinking and announces that he is now ready to present a critique of pure reason.

This volume offers the complete text of Kant's Metaphysics of Morals, Part One, translated by John Ladd, along with Ladd's illuminating Introduction to the first edition, updated to include discussion of such issues as Kant's conception of marriage and its relevance to his view of women.

Metaphysicians have for centuries attempted to clarify the nature of the world and how rational human beings construct their ideas of it. This title shows that the most accurate theory of reality would be one that combined relevant aspects of each position, yet transcended both to arrive at a more fundamental metaphysical theory.

The second of Kant's three critiques, 'Critique of Practical Reason' forms the centre of Kantian philosophy.

Brings together the two opposing schools of philosophy: rationalism, which grounds our knowledge in reason, and empiricism, which traces our knowledge to experience. This title provides investigation into the nature of human reason, establishing its truth and its falsities, its illusions and its reality.

Shows how mental processes are linked to how the mind moves from a formal understanding of reasoning in general to moral reasoning in particular.

What is the standing of a sovereign nation and what are its rights relative to other sovereign nations? What is our obligation to pursue peace?
