Enriched Edition. The Critique of Pure Reason, The Critique of Practical Reason & The Critique of JudgmentBy Immanuel KantLength46h 32m
About this audiobook
Kant's Three Critiques brings together the central monuments of critical philosophy: the Critique of Pure Reason, the Critique of Practical Reason, and the Critique of Judgment. Across these works Kant investigates the conditions of knowledge, the authority of moral law, and the mediating powers of aesthetic and teleological judgment. Dense, architectonic, and rigorously analytical, the volumes stand at the turning point between Enlightenment rationalism and German Idealism, recasting metaphysics as a critique of reason's own powers and limits. Immanuel Kant (1724–1804), the Königsberg philosopher, wrote from within the intellectual tensions of eighteenth-century Europe: Newtonian science, Leibnizian metaphysics, British empiricism, and Rousseau's moral vision. His famous "Copernican revolution" in philosophy arose from the conviction that objects of experience must conform to the structures of human cognition, while freedom and morality require a rational foundation beyond mere inclination. This collection is indispensable for readers seeking the foundations of modern philosophy. Though demanding, it rewards careful study with a profound account of truth, duty, beauty, and human autonomy.
