About this ebook

Philosophy may be said to contain the principles of the rational cognition that concepts afford us of things (not merely, as with logic, the principles of the form of thought in general irrespective of the objects), and, thus interpreted, the course, usually adopted, of dividing it into theoretical and practical is perfectly sound. But this makes imperative a specific distinction on the part of the concepts by which the principles of this rational cognition get their object assigned to them, for if the concepts are not distinct they fail to justify a division, which always presupposes that the principles belonging to the rational cognition of the several parts of the science in question are themselves mutually exclusive.

    Not as great as its "older brother" the First Critique (the Critique of Pure Reason), but an interesting book nonetheless and one which presents the strongest imaginable rebuttal to the idea that "good taste is subjective".

    In college, I was taught as an undergraduate, that Kant united the European Continental and British philosopher and the streams of rationalism and empiricism with their future directions, where in the spirit of Ogden Nash, "If you convinced me and I convinced you, would there not then still be two points of view?" - both traditions changed profoundly, so one could see lines crossing IN Kant's analytical thinking.

    Perhaps one element of good philosophy should be that the argument be at least moderately straightforward. Maybe Kant is just deep, but I perceive a lot of leaps to conclusions based on a huge amount of new, creative concepts as the springboard. I have not studied enough of this to be definite, but my suspicion is that Kant is considered a great philosopher by a brand of intellectuals that can use such indeterminate fluff to justify their views about how philosophy leads to current sociological and political trends. For example: "Skill can hardly be developed in the human race otherwise than by means of inequality among men." I rate this a 4 only because it holds such an esteemed spot in the development of modern philosophy, but it's not the type of argument that convinces me.
