| Summary: | Immanuel<br> Kant is undoubtedly one of the most important thinkers in the history of<br> philosophy. He is also notoriously difficult for beginners to understand. Starting with Kant offers a genuinely<br> accessible introduction to the metaphysics, theory of knowledge, and moral<br> philosophy of this hugely influential figure. It assumes no prior acquaintance<br> with his ideas.<br> Thematically<br> structured, the book opens with a completely non-technical overview of the<br> development of Kant's mature thought, resulting in a wide-ranging understanding<br> of his famous and ground breaking 'Copernican revolution in metaphysics'. The<br> book evaluates the basic framework of his metaphysical outlook, and sets out<br> its implications for his theory of knowledge and moral philosophy. Kant's<br> position in these fields is related to other philosophers of his period so that<br> a number of his seminal ideas can be clearly understood through an appreciation<br> of their opposing views. This is the ideal introduction for anyone coming to<br> the work of his hugely important thinker for the first time.<br> |
