18th Prussia was steeped in tradition. Religion was the prime means by which people derived what it meant to live a good life. Just then, a man arose who advocated the use of human reason to discern right from wrong. He coined the term Categorical Imperative to denote the concept of developing one's own faculty of reason to devise universal moral codes of conduct. With this, he essentially and inextricably bound morality with reason. This book expounds upon the life and works of Immanuel Kant.
The influences of Kant's early years profoundly impacted him to deviate from the confines of dogma and challenge a mechanistic and deterministic view of existence. Yet, his aspiration to substantiate a non-deterministic causality (amid other areas) led him to delve within the deepest recesses of the world as we know it.
He is further credited with unifying the concepts of a priori (reasoned) knowledge and a posteriori (experiential) knowledge thus forming a consilience between empiricism and moral conduct. Come and meet the man who profoundly influenced the intellectual destiny of mankind.
Here's a preview of what you'll discover in this book:
Immanuel Kant's early childhood, family life, and education

The Age of Enlightenment was a critical evolutionary period in human history. Kant stipulated that free will lead humans to formulate social and political systems that simultaneously rely on and propagate universal law. This constituted nothing short of humanity's intellectual rebirth and defines man as we currently know him. This fascinating book will leave you inspired with a sense of awe at the grandeur of what Immanuel Kant has contributed to our progress as a species.
