Reason needs courage! What Kant can teach us about ourselves. With Lea Ypi
with Lea Ypi Catherine Newmark
In English.
Humans are rational beings. But what exactly is reason? What insights does it enable? And what are its greatest weaknesses? These questions lie at the heart of Immanuel Kant's philosophy. Lea Ypi, a philosopher who teaches in London, is currently one of the most important defenders of modern ideals of reason. For the multi-award-winning author of the global bestseller Free: Coming of Age at the End of History and now the book The Architectonic of Reason: Purposiveness and Systematic Unity in Kant's Critique of Pure Reason, Kant’s thinking is the key to understanding our present as well as the foundation for a humane future on this planet. Freedom is only truly realised as moral freedom; only as a self-determined rational being can a human being preserve their dignity. An answer to all sceptics, cynics – and to the cold reason of calculating machines. Mod.: Catherine Newmark
