Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Die Philosophie der Aufklärung übt bis auf den heutigen Tag einen großen Einfluss auf unser Denken aus. Dies gilt nicht zuletzt für die Philosophie Immanuel Kants, der mit seinen Schriften zur Moralphilosophie, Rechtstheorie, Geschichtsphilosophie und Theorie der Politik den Begriff der Aufklärung zwischen Vernunft, Kritik und Unmündigkeit wesentlich geprägt hat. Die Beiträge widmen sich Kants Werk in historischer und systematischer Perspektive. Sie fragen nach dem philosophischen Gehalt von Kants Philosophie der Aufklärung und diskutieren seine Bedeutung für die Zukunft aufklärerischen Denkens. Gerade bei der Philosophie Kants scheint sich zu entscheiden, ob die Ideen der Aufklärung auch im 21. Jahrhundert eine Leitfunktion für die Beschreibung und die Lösung aktueller Probleme ausüben können.

Book Synopsis Kant and the Scottish Enlightenment by : Elizabeth Robinson
Download or read book Kant and the Scottish Enlightenment written by Elizabeth Robinson and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-06-26 with total page 381 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Most academic philosophers and intellectual historians are familiar with the major historical figures and intellectual movements coming out of Scotland in the 18th Century. These scholars are also familiar with the works of Immanuel Kant and his influence on Western thought. But with the exception of discussion examining David Hume’s influence on Kant’s epistemology, metaphysics, and moral theory, little attention has been paid to the influence of the Scottish Enlightenment thinkers on Kant’s philosophy. This volume aims to fill this perceived gap in the literature and provide a starting point for future discussions looking at the influence of Hume, Thomas Reid, Adam Smith, and other Scottish Enlightenment thinkers on Kant’s philosophy.

Goethe, however, remarked that reading a page of Immanuel Kant was like entering a bright and well-lighted room: The great eighteenth-century philosopher illuminated everything he ever pondered.

Included are excerpts fromDreams of a Visionary, Prolegomena to Every Future Metaphysics, Metaphysical Foundations of Morals, Critique of Judgement, andEternal Peace. As Professor Friedrich writes in his introduction to this volume: "The problem of freedom, the freedom of the human personality to unfold and fulfill its higher destiny, is the central issue of all of Kant's philosophizing."

Book Synopsis The Idea of Europe by : Catriona Seth
Download or read book The Idea of Europe written by Catriona Seth and published by Saint Philip Street Press. This book was released on 2020-10-09 with total page 174 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "In view of the challenges-many of which are political-that different European countries are currently facing, scholars who work on the eighteenth century have compiled this anthology which includes earlier recognitions of common values and past considerations of questions which often remain pertinent nowadays. During the Enlightenment, many men and women of letters envisaged the continent's future in particular when stressing their hope that peace could be secured in Europe. The texts gathered here, and signed by major thinkers of the time (Rousseau, Montesquieu, Voltaire, Kant, Hume or Staël for instance), as well as by writers history has forgotten, present the reflections, with a couple of chronological extensions (from Sully to Victor Hugo) of authors from the long eighteenth century-the French Empire and the fall of Napoleon generated numerous upheavals-on Europe, its history, its diversity, but also on what the nations, which, in all their diversity, make up a geographical unit, have in common. They show the historical origins of the project of a European union, the desire to consolidate the continent's ties to the Maghreb or to Turkey, the importance granted to commerce and the worries engendered by history's convulsions, but also the hope vested in future generations. The Idea of Europe follows its sister edition in French, L'idée de l'Europe au Siècle des Lumières, also published by Open Book."

Book Synopsis Kantian Courage by : Nicholas Tampio
Download or read book Kantian Courage written by Nicholas Tampio and published by . This book was released on 2022 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How may progressive political theorists advance the Enlightenment after Darwin shifted the conversation about human nature in the 19th century, the Holocaust displayed barbarity at the historical center of the Enlightenment, and 9/11 showed the need to modify the ideals and strategies of the Enlightenment? Kantian Courage considers how several figures in contemporary political theory--including John Rawls, Gilles Deleuze, and Tariq Ramadan--do just this as they continue Immanuel Kant's legacy. Rather than advocate specific Kantian ideas, the book contends that political progressives should embody Kantian courage--a critical and creative disposition to invent new political theories to address the problems of the age. It illuminates Kant's legacy in contemporary intellectual debates; constructs a dialogue among Anglo-American, Continental, and Islamic political theorists; and shows how progressives may forge alliances across political and religious differences by inventing concepts such as the overlapping consensus, the rhizome, and the space of testimony. The book will interest students of the Enlightenment, contemporary political theorists and philosophers, and a general audience concerned about the future of the relationship between Islam and the West.
Book Synopsis The World We Want:How and Why The Ideals of the Enlightenment Still Elude Us by : Robert Louden
Download or read book The World We Want:How and Why The Ideals of the Enlightenment Still Elude Us written by Robert Louden and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 2010-03-16 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The World We Want compares the future world that Enlightenment intellectuals had hoped for with our own world at present. In what respects do the two worlds differ, and why are they so different? To what extent is and isn't our world the world they wanted, and to what extent do we today still want their world? Unlike previous philosophical critiques and defenses of the Enlightenment, the present study focuses extensively on the relevant historical and empirical record first, by examining carefully what kind of future Enlightenment intellectuals actually hoped for; second, by tracking the different legacies of their central ideals over the past two centuries.But in addition to documenting the significant gap that still exists between Enlightenment ideals and current realities, the author also attempts to show why the ideals of the Enlightenment still elude us. What does our own experience tell us about the appropriateness of these ideals? Which Enlightenment ideals do not fit with human nature? Why is meaningful support for these ideals, particularly within the US, so weak at present? Which of the means that Enlightenment intellectuals advocated for realizing their ideals are inefficacious? Which of their ideals have devolved into distorted versions of themselves when attempts have been made to realize them? How and why, after more than two centuries, have we still failed to realize the most significant Enlightenment ideals? In short, what is dead and what is living in these ideals?"The author should be applauded for the manner in which he is able to successfully combine philosophical investigation with empirical research. The frequent citing of original sources, especially those of Kant, as well as a rich collection of endnotes, make this volume an important contribution to Early Modern Philosophy and Enlightenment studies. But perhaps most important, this is a text that should resonate with any member of the educated citizenry who perceives the discrepancy between Enlightenment ideals and current realities and is deeply troubled by the current state of our world."-- The Review of Metaphysics"This book will interest readers seeking to familiarize themselves with Enlightenment views on the issues discussed."-- CHOICE"Rich in empirical study and powerful in philosophical analysis, Louden's book belies everybody who declares the Enlightenment project dead. Once again the author of Kant's Impure Ethics presents an impressive volume."--Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews

Book Synopsis The Enlightenment by : Vincenzo Ferrone
Download or read book The Enlightenment written by Vincenzo Ferrone and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2017-03-07 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A compelling reevaluation of the Enlightenment from one of its leading historians In this concise and powerful book, one of the world's leading historians of the Enlightenment provides a bracing and clarifying new interpretation of this watershed period. Arguing that philosophical and historical interpretations of the era have long been hopelessly confused, Vincenzo Ferrone makes the case that it is only by separating these views and taking an approach grounded in social and cultural history that we can begin to grasp what the Enlightenment was—and why it is still relevant today. Ferrone explains why the Enlightenment was a profound and wide-ranging cultural revolution that reshaped Western identity, reformed politics through the invention of human rights, and redefined knowledge by creating a critical culture. These new ways of thinking gave birth to new values that spread throughout society and changed how everyday life was lived and understood. Featuring an illuminating afterword describing how his argument challenges the work of Anglophone interpreters including Jonathan Israel, The Enlightenment provides a fascinating reevaluation of the true nature and legacy of one of the most important and contested periods in Western history. The translation of this work has been funded by SEPS—Segretariato Europeo per le Pubblicazioni Scientifiche.
