Great intro to Aquinas
A great alternative to Strathern
what better way is there to learn and drive
Great introduction to Hume Hume's political, historical, and ethical ideas are also interesting and I was surprised to learn how much Hume's ideas on the separation of powers in government had influenced James Madison.
Pretty bad summary of Augustine. I note the other review is about Kant not Augustine. ... Read more |

Kant's flip side I have been thinking about this book for a long time before I wrote this review, since this is the work for which Kant wondered if he had gone too far in jest.My first surprise was that Kant himself (like Hegel, he avoids mentioning names) is not entirely clear about whom he meant to be writing until page 49: "I come now to my purpose, namely, to the writings of my hero."He called his preface "A Prospectus That Promises Very Little for the Project" (p. 3) and the final paragraph of his introduction attempted to make his readers share the situation which he found himself in."Furthermore, a large work was purchased, and, what is worse still, was read, and such effort should not be wasted.From this originated the present treatise, which, as one flatters oneself, should leave the reader in a state of complete satisfaction, in which the principal part will not be understood, the other not believed, and the remainder laughed at."(p. 4).In general, I approve of the steps Kant took to show a more enlightened view than the journals of his day.The major contrast in Johnson's Introduction is with Johann August Ernesti, who denounced Swedenborg in 1760 as a heretic in his "New Theological Library."For attempting to find meanings in the early books of the Bible which were not obvious, Swedenborg was accused of "pervert[ing] the Sacred Scriptures by the pretense of an inner sense, is in the highest degree worthy of punishment."(p. xxiv).When someone in Wurttemberg published a book on Swedenborg, "at Ernesti's urging, the Wurttemberg government declared the book heretical, confiscated all copies, and even ordered private citizens to surrender their copies on pain of arrest."(p. xxv).When a professor of Theology at Tubingen "urged a more open-minded attitude toward Swedenborg[,] Ernesti responded with yet another scathing review, asserting that Clemm's defense of Oetinger and Swedenborg was an offense that would have been worthy of the death penalty in earlier times."(p. xxv).Kant shows how modern people could be much more philosophical about these things, and though those people are all dead, there is a nice justice in the number of people who are still reading Kant and Swedenborg, even if they hardly know anyone else who does. The prime point in the Introduction by Johnson resides deep in personal philosophy, that professional philosophers might understand as, "that Kant's mature critical philosophy is best seen as a synthesis of Rousseauian and Swedenborgian elements (the influence of Leibniz and Hume being primarily upon Kant's elaboration of difficult technical questions once his basic vision was already in place).. . . although Kant's vision of the cosmos is more Swedenborgian than Rousseauian, it is Rousseau who provides the essentially pragmatic arguments that allow Kant to embrace the content of Swedenborg's visions but discard his enthusiasm."(p. xx). The notes are helpful.Only a translator is likely to notice, "Here Kant embraces the idea of general as opposed to particular providence." (p. 161, n. 26).This is what makes Kant a philosopher, "the notion that God governs the universe by framing general laws.Particular providence is the notion that he governs the universe on a case-by-case basis."Swedenborg is so religious that he argues "general providence is meaningless without particular providence."There is more on this in Johnson's (as yet, unpublished) COMMENTARY.Kant [Part I, Second Chapter, Paragraph 3] was talking about connections in the immaterial world, the former connections, before getting trapped where "nothing hinders even the immaterial beings that affect one another through the mediation of matter from also standing in a special and constant association and as immaterial beings always exercising reciprocal influences on one another, so that their relationship mediated by matter is only contingent and rests upon particular divine provision, whereas the former is natural and indissoluble."(p. 16) I would like to check another translation to see if this is even close to what anyone else would think.In 1992, David Walford and Ralf Meerbote had their translation published in Kant, THEORETICAL PHILOSOPHY, 1755-1770."Walford's translation is highly accurate and very readable.Indeed, it would be hard to justify a new translation of DREAMS at all were the Walford translation available in an inexpensive paperback edition."(p. xxiii).It soon might be, if that is what you would rather have.
Kant accepted that our spirit conjoins two worlds. I think that this book has been largely ignored because it is just too divergent from the rational empiracism of the modern scientific mind. The scienitfic materialist conveniently ignores the fundamental questions of material "reality" that Kant couldn't ignore. Furthermore, when the Prussian government banned this work it set into motion the series of events that culminated in the profound physical and spiritual disasters of the 20th cetury- and beyond. |

Editorial Review Product Description In the fall semester of 1772/73 at the Albertus University of Königsberg, Immanuel Kant, metaphysician and professor of logic and metaphysics, began lectures on anthropology, which he continued until 1776, shortly before his retirement from public life. His lecture notes and papers were first published in 1798, eight years after the publication of the Critique of Judgment, the third of his famous Critiques. The present edition of the Anthropology is a translation of the text found in volume 7 of Kants gesammelte Schriften, edited by Oswald Külpe. Kant describes the Anthropology as a systematic doctrine of the knowledge of humankind. (He does not yet distinguish between the academic discipline of anthropology as we understand it today and the philosophical.) Kant’s lectures stressed the "pragmatic" approach to the subject because he intended to establish pragmatic anthropology as a regular academic discipline. He differentiates the physiological knowledge of the human racethe investigation of "what Nature makes of man"from the pragmatic"what man as a free being makes of himself, what he can make of himself, and what he ought to make of himself." Kant believed that anthropology teaches the knowledge of humankind and makes us familiar with what is pragmatic, not speculative, in relation to humanity. He shows us as world citizens within the context of the cosmos. Summarizing the cloth edition of the Anthropology, Library Journal concludes: "Kant’s allusions to such issues as sensation, imagination, judgment, (aesthetic) taste, emotion, passion, moral character, and the character of the human species in regard to the ideal of a cosmopolitan society make this work an important resource for English readers who seek to grasp the connections among Kant’s metaphysics of nature, metaphysics of morals, and political theory. The notes of the editor and translator, which incorporate material from Ernst Cassirer’s edition and from Kant’s marginalia in the original manuscript, shed considerable light on the text."

Editorial Review Product Description "... one of Heidegger's most important and extraordinary works.... indispensable for anyone interested in Heidegger's thought as well as in current trends in hermeneutics, ethics, and political philosophy." -- Interpretation "Kant and the Problem of Metaphysics is among the most important readings in this century of Kant's Critique of Pure Reason. This authoritative English translation will play an important role in determining Heidegger's reputation in the coming years." -- Choice "Heidegger's interpretation of Kant remains a challenging way to address the issues that both Kant and Heidegger saw as crucial.... In reading [Kant and the Problem of Metaphysics] we can struggle with some basic issues of human existence in the company of two great minds." -- International Philosophical Quarterly Since its original publication in 1929, Martin Heidegger's provocative book on Kant's Critique of Pure Reason has attracted much attention both as an important contribution to twentieth-century Kant scholarship and as a pivotal work in Heidegger's own development after Being and Time. The work is significant not only for its illuminating assessment of Kant's thought but also for its elaboration of themes first broached in Being and Time, especially the problem of how Heidegger proposed to enact his destruction of the metaphysical tradition and the role that his reading of Kant would play therein.

FALSE DEPTH
systematic and technical Heidegger
Easily among Heidegger's best works
The origin of Deconstruction. Read before `Being and Time'. Watch out for Heidegger's own recoil regarding spatiality and itsrelation to time.
Being and Time, Part II Surprisingly enough, Heidegger offersa rather faithful exegesis of Kant's discussion of the schematism from theCritique of Pure Reason.This is a close and careful reading of Kant whichdemonstrates Heidegger's skill at reconstruction of an existing text.Theshort Part One of this book is a work of art as Heidegger clearly definesKant's project as a groundwork for metaphysics, that is, as ontology, bytracing the initial remarks by Kant to their Greek and scholastic origins. Therefore, Heidegger argues that the Kant of the First Critique does notbring forth a theory of knowledge (and against the Prolegomena that Kant ismaking a foundation for science), but rather, that the real project is acritique of metaphysics by returning to ontology as the groundwork formetaphysics.Thus, this project runs straight into Heidegger's ownconcerns of the possibility of anthropology. Included in this edition isa transcript of the historical (and highly entertaining) debate betweenHeidegger and Ernst Cassier from the Davos lectures.Along with this, theeditors have included other illuminating notes, drafts, andforwards. Whether for or against Heidegger, this book clearlydemonstrates the enormous philosophical skills of Martin Heidegger. ... Read more |

False advertising
Excellent Collection! Guyer's article here is excellent.And so is Schaper's on the Third Critique. I also recommend: Allison, Transcendental Idealism (for a sympathetic defense of Kant); Strawson, Bounds of Sense (critical); Bennett, K's Analytic (critical); Forster, Transcendental Deductions (Stanford UP); and Kitcher, K's CPR (Rowman/Littlefield).A current biography of Kant is: M. Kuehn, Kant (Cambridge UP, now in paperback).
