About this product

Product Information

Immanuel Kant's contributions to metaphysics, epistemology, ethics, and aesthetics laid the foundations of modern Western thought. Every subsequent major philosopher owes a profound debt to his attempts to delimit human reason as an appropriate object of philosophical enquiry. And yet, Kant's relentless systematic formalism made him a controversial figure in the history of the philosophy that he helped to shape. Kant: A Graphic Guide focuses on the three critiques of Pure Reason, Practical Reason and Judgement. It describes Kant's main formal concepts: the relation of mind to sensory experience, the question of freedom and the law and, above all, the revaluation of metaphysics. Kant emerges as a diehard Rationalist yet also a Romantic, deeply committed to the power of the sublime to transform experience. The book explores the paradoxical nature of his ideas and explains the reasons for his undiminished importance in contemporary philosophical debates. This series of graphic guides covers every key thinker and topic in philosophy, psychology, science, politics, religion, cultural studies, linguistics and more. Written by experts and illustrated by leading graphic artists, there is no better way to acquaint yourself with the biggest and best ideas humanity has ever come up with.

  • Kantian role-reversal ?

    I bought this because I couldn't understand the Kant section in a book dealing with numerous philosophers. There's much in this that I can't understand, either. The blurb describes the text as 'succinct and witty'. It isn't; and the illustrations are dull and largely superfluous. Co-author Kul-Want is a writer: '...my work embraces wide-ranging aspects of critical theory and continental philosophy'. Co-author Klimowski 'has an international reputation as a poster and book-jacket designer'. Maybe they switched roles on this one. The upside is that it's in fine condition and only cost four quid !
