Immanuel

Immanuel Kant is known as the famous German philosopher who argued two main points in his philosophy: that the human mind creates the structure of the human experience and that reason is the source of morality. More specifically, Kant used his philosophy to argue that in order to figure out what is the right thing, we must rely on reason. Unlike several other philosophers, Kant refused to use religion as a method to know what the law was to determine right and wrong, because he believed it was all

As a result of continued human suffering and questions of morality, many ethical theories have been developed over time to guide humans on how to coexist, differentiate between right and wrong, and live a “good” life. Many times, these different ethical theories seem to contradict one another, but all are conceived with the intention to guide morally just lives.

Math, to Kant is synthetic because mathematical knowledge requires is true more than just definition. “All bachelors are unmarried” is analytic; “the bachelor down the street is untidy” is synthetic. This may seem odd; “1+2 = 3” seems to be analytic, as 2 is the sum of 1 and 1 by definition. Nevertheless this is illusory, according to Kant, because this is already a solved equation.

In this essay I shall be considering the ethical philosophy of Immanuel Kant with regards to what actions are as right or wrong, regardless of context or circumstance. This approach to ethics is known as deontological as it considers the actions themselves as opposed to the consequences; what one should do in practice should be thought of as substantive concepts.

Immanuel Kant’s Metaphysics THEME In regard to Metaphysics, Kant’s results were seemingly the opposite to what he strove to achieve, cf. the claim, in his Introduction, that “In this enquiry . . . I venture to assert that there is not a single metaphysical problem which has not been solved, or for the solution of which the key has not been supplied.” In the summing up of his Prolegomena, he records with evident pride in achievement: “Anyone who has read through and grasped the principles

He recognized defects in both the rationalists’ and the empiricists’ traditions. These two terms, rationalist and empiricist, are the two ideas that make up Epistemology.
