ANew Yorker. Best Book of the Year. ATablet. Best Book of the Year. A foremost Kant expert takes us on a lively tour through the revolutionary ideas of the founder of modern philosophy. Immanuel Kant is undoubtedly the most important philosopher of the modern era. HisCritique of Pure Reason,. "categorical imperative," and conception of perpetual peace in the global order decisively influenced both intellectual history and twentieth-century politics, shaping everything from the German Constitution to the United Nations Charter. Renowned philosopher Marcus Willaschek explains why, three centuries after Kant's birth, his reflections on democracy, beauty, nature, morality, and the limits of human knowledge remain profoundly relevant. Weaving together biography, historical context, and exposition of key ideas, Willaschek emphasizes three central features of Kant's theory and method. First, Kant combines seemingly incompatible positions to show how their insights can be reconciled. Second, he demonstrates that it is not only human thinking that must adjust to the realities of the world; the world must also be fitted to the structures of our thinking. Finally, he overcomes the traditional opposition between thought and action by putting theory at the service of practice. Kant: A Revolution in Thinking. is an adroit introduction to the Prussian polymath's oeuvre and to the man himself-a magnetic personality and clever ironist, deeply engaged with his contemporary world.
