Download or read book Investigation into the Clarity of the Principles of Natural Theology and Morality written by Immanuel Kant and published by Livraria Press. This book was released on 2024-05-09 with total page 85 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A new translation of "Investigation into the clarity of the principles of natural theology and morality" from the original German manuscript first published in 1764. The original German title is "Untersuchung über die Deutlichkeit der Grundsätze der natürlichen Theologie und der Moral". This new edition contains an afterword by the translator, a timeline of Kant's life and works, and a helpful index of Kant's key concepts and intellectual rivals. This translation is designed for readability, rendering Kant's enigmatic German into the simplest equivalent possible, and removing the academic footnotes to make this critically important historical text as accessible as possible to the modern reader. The first section sets the basic context for the inquiry by asserting the importance of distinguishing between mathematical and philosophical certainty. This distinction is crucial to understanding the nature of knowledge in both natural theology and morality, Kant argues. He then proceeds to analyze the nature of metaphysical certainty, emphasizing the differences between philosophical and mathematical reasoning. This analysis provides a framework for understanding the principles of natural theology and morality, highlighting the complexities and nuances involved in philosophical reasoning compared to the more concrete and defined realm of mathematics. In subsequent parts of the treatise, the nature of metaphysical certainty is explored in depth, focusing on the principles of natural theology. The discussion includes an examination of concepts such as existence, necessity, and the attributes of a divine being, providing a philosophical foundation for arguments about the existence and nature of God. The final sections of the book are devoted to morality, analyzing the principles that underlie moral reasoning and obligation. Kant examines the conceptual foundations of moral obligations, the nature of ethical principles, and the relationship between moral philosophy and practical decision making.

Book Synopsis Kant and the Exact Sciences by : Michael Friedman
Download or read book Kant and the Exact Sciences written by Michael Friedman and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 1992 with total page 396 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Kant sought throughout his life to provide a philosophy adequate to the sciences of his time--especially Euclidean geometry and Newtonian physics. In this new book, Michael Friedman argues that Kant's continuing efforts to find a metaphysics that could provide a foundation for the sciences is of the utmost importance in understanding the development of his philosophical thought from its earliest beginnings in the thesis of 1747, through the Critique of Pure Reason, to his last unpublished writings in the Opus postumum. Previous commentators on Kant have typically minimized these efforts because the sciences in question have since been outmoded. Friedman argues that, on the contrary, Kant's philosophy is shaped by extraordinarily deep insight into the foundations of the exact sciences as he found them, and that this represents one of the greatest strengths of his philosophy. Friedman examines Kant's engagement with geometry, arithmetic and algebra, the foundations of mechanics, and the law of gravitation in Part One. He then devotes Part Two to the Opus postumum, showing how Kant's need to come to terms with developments in the physics of heat and in chemistry formed a primary motive for his projected Transition from the Metaphysical Foundations of Natural Science to Physics. Kant and the Exact Sciences is a book of high scholarly achievement, argued with impressive power. It represents a great advance in our understanding of Kant's philosophy of science.
Book Synopsis Metaphysics and Philosophy of Science in the Seventeenth and Eighteenth Centuries by : R.S. Woolhouse
Download or read book Metaphysics and Philosophy of Science in the Seventeenth and Eighteenth Centuries written by R.S. Woolhouse and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 386 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The essays in this collection have been written for Gerd Buchdahl, by colleagues, students and friends, and are self-standing pieces of original research which have as their main concern the metaphysics and philosophy of science of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. They focus on issues about the development of philosophical and scientific thought which are raised by or in the work of such as Bernoulli, Descartes, Galileo, Kant, Leibniz, Maclaurin, Priestly, Schelling, Vico. Apart from the initial bio-bibliographical piece and those by Robert Butts and Michael Power, they do not discuss Buchdahl or his ideas in any systematic, lengthy, or detailed way. But they are collected under a title which alludes to the book, Metaphysics and the Philosophy of Science: The Classical Origins, Descartes to Kant (1969), which is central in the corpus of his work, and deal with the period and some of the topics with which that book deals.

Book Synopsis The Normative Claim of Law by : Stefano Bertea
Download or read book The Normative Claim of Law written by Stefano Bertea and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2009-10-06 with total page 316 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book focuses on a specific component of the normative dimension of law, namely, the normative claim of law. By 'normative claim' we mean the claim that inherent in the law is an ability to guide action by generating practical reasons having a special status. The thesis that law lays the normative claim has become a subject of controversy: it has its defenders, as well as many scholars of different orientations who have acknowledged the normative claim of law without making a point of defending it head-on. It has also come under attack from other contemporary legal theorists, and around the normative claim a lively debate has sprung up. This debate makes up the main subject of this book, which is in essence an attempt to account for the normative claim and see how its recognition moulds our understanding of the law itself. This involves (a) specifying the exact content, boundaries, quality, and essential traits of the normative claim, (b) explaining how the law can make a claim so specified, and (c) justifying why this should happen in the first place. The argument is set out in two stages, corresponding to the two parts in which the book is divided. In the first part, the author introduces and discusses the meaning, status, and fundamental traits of the normative claim of law; in the second he explores some foundational questions and determines the grounds of the normative claim of law by framing an account that elaborates on some contemporary discussions of Kant's conception of humanity as the source of the normativity of practical reason.
Download or read book Immanuel Kant written by Lucien Goldmann and published by Verso Books. This book was released on 2020-05-05 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Immanuel Kant was a philosopher at the end of the 18th century Enlightenment. Kant's magnum opus, the Critique of Pure Reason, aimed to unite reason with experience to move beyond what he took to be failures of traditional philosophy and metaphysics. Kant's influence on Western thought has been profound. Over and above his influence on specific thinkers, Kant changed the framework within which philosophical inquiry has been carried out. He is seen as a major figure in the history and development of philosophy, and his influence still inspires philosophical work today. Over the years Lucien Goldmann's excellent study of Kant has remained the classic introductory text to Kant's legacy and philosophy.
Book Synopsis New Essays on the Normativity of Law by : Stefano Bertea
Download or read book New Essays on the Normativity of Law written by Stefano Bertea and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2011-08-10 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An important part of the legal domain has to do with rule-governed conduct, and is expressed by the use of notions such as norm, obligation, duty and right. These require us to acknowledge the normative dimension of law. Normativity is, accordingly, to be regarded as a central feature of law lying at the heart of any comprehensive legal-theoretical project. The essays collected in this book are meant to further our understanding of the normativity of law. More specifically, the book stages a thorough discussion of legal normativity as approached from three strands of legal thought that are particularly influential and which play a key role in shaping debates on the normative dimension of law: the theory of planning agency, legal conventionalism and the constitutivist approach. While the essays presented here do not aspire to give an exhaustive picture of these debates - an aspiration that would be, by its very nature, unrealistic - they do provide the reader with some authoritative statements of some widely discussed families of views of legal normativity. In pursuing this objective, these essays also encourage a dialogue between different traditions of study of legal normativity, stimulating those who would not otherwise look outside their tradition of thought to engage with new ideas and, ultimately, to arrive at a more comprehensive account of the normativity of law.
Book Synopsis Kant and the Experience of Freedom by : Paul Guyer
Download or read book Kant and the Experience of Freedom written by Paul Guyer and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1993 with total page 476 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This collection of essays by one of the preeminent Kant scholars of our time transforms our understanding of both Kant's aesthetics and his ethics. Guyer shows that at the very core of Kant's aesthetic theory, disinterestedness of taste becomes an experience of freedom and thus an essential accompaniment to morality itself. At the same time he reveals how Kant's moral theory includes a distinctive place for the cultivation of both general moral sentiments and particular attachments on the basis of the most rigorous principle of duty. Kant's thought is placed in a rich historical context including such figures as Shaftesbury, Hutcheson, Hume, Burke, Kames, as well as Baumgarten, Mendelssohn, Schiller, and Hegel. Other topics treated are the sublime, natural versus artistic beauty, genius and art history, and duty and inclination. These essays extend and enrich the account of Kant's aesthetics in the author's earlier book, Kant and the Claims of Taste (1979).
Book Synopsis The British Moralists and the Internal 'Ought' by : Stephen L. Darwall
Download or read book The British Moralists and the Internal 'Ought' written by Stephen L. Darwall and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1995-04-28 with total page 376 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a major work in the history of ethics, and provides the first study of early modern British philosophy in several decades. Professor Darwall discerns two distinct traditions feeding into the moral philosophy of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. On the one hand, there is the empirical, naturalist tradition, comprising Hobbes, Locke, Cumberland, Hutcheson, and Hume, which argues that obligation is the practical force that empirical discoveries acquire in the process of deliberation. On the other hand, there is a group including Cudworth, Shaftesbury, Butler, and in some moments Locke, which views obligation as inconceivable without autonomy and which seeks to develop a theory of the will as self-determining.
