Introducing Kant

Rating:
Summary: Worst of the series
Review: I really do enjoy the "Introducing..." series of books. However this is a very poor installment. Unclear, jargon heavy and with examples that make obscure the concept discussed. Anyone new to Kant would be better served by "Introducing Philosophy" or "Introducing the Enlightenment".

Review: Normally I love the "Introducing . . ." series. They are typically cleverly written, light-hearted and effectively communicate complicated ideas in interesting ways.

This was not a good example.

This book was so full of jargon that only a student of latin and/or philosophy would be able to understand it. The author and his editor has missed the point of these books - to demystify philosophy, not to continue to shroud it in terminology.

Steer clear of this book and try "Philosophy the Basics" by Nigel Warburton for a very lucid introduction to the basic questions of: Why are we here? How did we get here? Is there a God? How should we act toward each other?

Review: There are two things wonder my mind. One is the starry heavens on top of my head, another one is the moral law which stays in my heart. Immanuel Kant was the greatest philosopher (actually he is the greatest of all time). I find very difficult to understand his books like Critique of Pure Reason, Critique of Practical Reason and so on. But, this book has given me a good introduction and the general & overall picture of Kant's works. Well done to the author. Thank you.
