Sobre o autor
Immanuel Kant was an 18th-century philosopher whose work has had a profound impact on modern Western thought. Born on April 22, 1724, in Königsberg, Prussia (now Kaliningrad, Russia), Kant’s comprehensive and systematic works in epistemology, ethics, and aesthetics have been pivotal to the development of contemporary philosophy. His critical philosophy, particularly the ‘Critique of Pure Reason, ‘ examines the limits of human knowledge and the conditions of possibility for any experience at all. The profundity of his ideas, which seek to reconcile rationalism and empiricism, provided a framework for the German Enlightenment and influenced philosophy to this day. The ‘Critique of Judgement, ‘ also known as ‘Kritik der Urteilskraft, ‘ expands on his earlier works and delves into aesthetics and teleology. In it, he discusses the ability to judge beauty and purposefulness as a part of his broader discussion on the faculty of judgement. This work, like his others, is distinguished by his impeccable arguments and dense, meticulous prose. Kant’s deontological ethical system, articulated in ‘Groundwork of the Metaphysics of Morals, ‘ remains hugely influential, introducing the ‘Categorical Imperative’ as a principal guide to moral behavior. Even two centuries after his death on February 12, 1804, Kant’s vast contributions continue to resonate, with his ideas still at the center of philosophical debates and discussions.
