Kant: A Guide for the Perplexed (Guides for the Perplexed) by TK Seung (PDF)

Description

Continuum’s Guides for the Perplexed are clear, concise and accessible introductions to thinkers, writers and subjects that students and readers can find especially challenging. Concentrating specifically on what it is that makes the subject difficult to fathom, these books explain and explore key themes and ideas, guiding the reader towards a thorough understanding of demanding material. Immanuel Kant’s influence and importance are difficult to exaggerate, his Three Critiques – of Pure Reason, of Practical Reason and of Judgment – standing as landmark works in the Western philosophical canon. Anyone interested in or studying philosophy will encounter Kant and hope to reach a detailed understanding of his work. Nevertheless, Kant is far from being an easy or straightforward subject for study. The ideas entailed in his work – and the connections between them – are complex, and the language in which they are expressed is frequently opaque. Kant: A Guide for the Perplexed is the ideal text for anyone finding it difficult to make headway with this key philosopher. It offers a detailed account of each of the three Critiques and the relationship between them. In so doing, it ranges over Kant’s epistemology, ethics, political philosophy, aesthetics and philosophy of religion, and explores his legacy for German Idealism. Valuably, the book provides a way through Kant’s often impenetrable prose. Written with students in mind, and tailored to meet their specific needs, this is a reliable, authoritative and illuminating guide to one of the central pillars of modern philosophy.

Reviews from Amazon users which were colected at the time this book was published on the website:

⭐Prof. Seung’s seminar on Kant was the last class I took of several featuring Kant, but it was the first in which I grasped the essential arguments of the Critique of Pure Reason. His book is at least as good as the seminar and I would recommend it to anyone struggling with the normal fare of less than clear introductions. In fact, the book is one of my 10 favorite books I encountered in college.

⭐The title ‘Kant: A Guide for the Perplexed’ suggests an entry-level text; not so. Kant’s thinking, contradictions and all, is problematised from p.1, as well as being situated temporally and thematically.My particular interest is how the Kantian notion of the sublime informs perceptions of landscape in the 21st century. Seung’s treatment of Kant at once makes tracing the link more satisfying and more complex. I thoroughly recommend this book for anyone who wishes to invoke Kant in the present.

⭐Brilliant, great condition
