Works of Immanuel Kant Lot of 8 Classic Unabridged Philosophy Audiobooks in 9 MP3 Audio CDs Immanuel Kant (1724 - 1804) Immanuel Kant (22 April 1724 – 12 February 1804) was a German philosopher. He is a central figure of modern philosophy, and set the terms by which all subsequent thinkers have had to grapple. He argued that human perception structures natural laws, and that reason is the source of morality. Anthropology Read by Multiple Readers Running Time: 05:02:56 in 1 MP3 Audio CD Immanuel Kant gave a series of lectures on anthropology 1772-1773, 1795-1796 at the University of Königsberg, which was founded in 1544. His lectures dealt with recognizing the internal and external in man, cognition, sensuousness, the five senses, as well as the soul and the mind. They were gathered together and published in 1798 and then published in English in The Journal of Speculative Philosophy in 1867, volumes 9-16. Therefore, several texts will be used for this book. Sections 1-37 were found in public domain and then section 43, and sections 47-57. It seems that sections 38-42, 44-46 are not available in the public domain. This is book one of his longer works. 01 - Concerning self consciousness and egoism 02 - Concerning voluntary consciousness, self-observation, and representation 03 - Concerning the perspicuity and obscurity in the consciousness of our representations 04 - Concerning sensuousness as opposed to the understanding 05 - Apology for sensuousness and sensuous justified 06 - Concerning our power of doing in regard to the faculty of cognition in general 07 - Concerning artificial play and moral semblance 08 - Concerning the five senses 09 - Concerning the faculty of cognition and the internal sense 10 - Concerning the causes of the decrease or increase of our sensuous perceptions in degree 11 - Concerning the stoppage, weakening, and total loss of our sensuous faculty 12 - Concerning imagination 13 - Concerning certain bodily means of exciting or soothing the power of imagination 14 - Concerning the sensuous power of productive imagination according to its different kinds 15 - Concerning the means of arousing and tempering the play of the power of imagination 16 - Concerning the faculty of the power of imagination to represent the past and make present the future 17 - Concerning the faculty of prevision and the gift of prophecy 18 - Concerning involuntary imaginations in a healthy condition, or dreams 19 - Concerning the designatory faculty and signs 20 - Concerning the Weaknesses and Diseases of the Soul in regard to its Faculty of Cognition 21 - Mental Diverrsion (distractio) 22 - Dull (hebes) 23 - Concerning the diseases of the mind and delirious raving 24 - Desultory remarks 25 - Concerning talent, wit, and the specific distinction between comparing and argumentative wit 26 - Concerning sagacity and genius Dreams of a Spirit-Seer Read by Peter Tucker Running Time: 02:05:30 in 1 MP3 Audio CD Analysis of the writings of Kant's contemporary, the spiritualist religious philosopher Swedenborg, whose ideas still have a following in present times. On the Popular Judgment That May be Right in Theory, but Does not Hold Good in the Praxis Read by D.E. Wittkower Running Time:2:12:09 in 1 MP3 Audio CD This tripartite essay – published variously as “On the Popular Judgment” (J. Richardson trans.), “On the Old Saw” (E.B. Ashton trans.), or “On the Common Saying” (both M.J. Gregor and H.B. Nisbet) – Kant takes up the issue of the relation of theory to practice in three distinct ways. In the first, he replies to Christian Garve’s criticism of his moral theory, in the second, he distances himself from Thomas Hobbes, and in the third, Moses Mendelssohn. The three taken together are representative of the breadth of Kant’s moral and political thought; the first section being concerned with the individual, the second with the state, and the third with the species. Although this is, on the whole, a difficult piece to approach, the second and third sections are often read as a way into Kant’s political thought, and serve this purpose well, especially when read alongside his Perpetual Peace. Perpetual Peace, A Philosophic Essay Read by D.E. Wittkower Running Time:02:02:08 in 1 MP3 Audio CD This essay, written in 1795, puts forth a plan for a lasting peace between nations and peoples. Kant puts forth necessary means to any peace, and argues that nations can be brought into federation with one another without loss of sovereignty. In one translation, telling of the historical impact of this essay, this federation is called a “league of nations.” The supplements and appendices are of considerable interest on their own. The supplements contain an argument regarding the use which nature makes of war, and the way in which nature, in the end, impels us towards peace. The appendices return to the question of whether his theory is mere theory, or whether it bears translation into practice. In this, he distinguishes between the moral politician and the political moralist, pointing out ways in which practical considerations conceal and excuse behavior that leads us towards discord and war. This essay continues to be relevant, and of great importance today, much to our shame. We hope still to find the perpetual peace which Kant argued as a obligatory goal, and we still have need of fear that we will, as Kant warned, “find perpetual peace only in the wide tomb which conceals all the horrible deeds of violence along with their perpetrators. Prolegomena to Any Future Metaphysics Read by Multiple Readers Running Time:05:17:12 in 1 MP3 Audio CD Kant's Prolegomena, although a small book, is indubitably the most important of his writings. It furnishes us with a key to his main work, The Critique of Pure Reason; in fact, it is an extract containing all the salient ideas of Kant's system. It approaches the subject in the simplest and most direct way, and is therefore best adapted as an introduction into his philosophy. 00 - Publisher's Preface 01 - Introduction 02 - Prolegomena 03 - First Part of the Transcendental Problem 04 - Second Part of the Transcendental Problem 05 - Second Part of the Transcendental Problem 06 - Third Part of the Transcendental Problem 07 - Third Part of the Transcendental Problem 08 - Third Part of the Transcendental Problem 09 - Scholia 10 - Appendix The Critique of Practical Reason Read by Multiple Readers Running Time:6:43:40 in 1 MP3 Audio CD The Critique of Practical Reason (Kritik der praktischen Vernunft) is the second of Immanuel Kant's three critiques, first published in 1788. It follows on from his Critique of Pure Reason and deals with his moral philosophy. The second Critique exercised a decisive influence over the subsequent development of the field of ethics and moral philosophy, becoming the principle reference point for ethical systems that focus on the rightness or wrongness of actions themselves, as opposed to the rightness or wrongness of the consequences of those actions. Subsequently termed “deontological ethics”, Kant’s ethical system also laid the groundwork of moral absolutism, the belief that there are absolute standards against which moral questions can be judged, and that certain actions are right or wrong, devoid of the context of the act. 00 - Preface 01 - Introduction: Of the Idea of a Critique of Practical Reason 02 - Of the Principles of Pure Practical Reason: THEOREM II 03 - Of the Principles of Pure Practical Reason: THEOREM III 04 - Of the Principles of Pure Practical Reason: THEOREM IV 05 - Of the Deduction of the Fundamental Principles of Pure Practical Reason 06 - Of the Right that Pure Reason in its Practical use has to an Extension which is not possible to it in its Speculative Use 07 - Of the Concept of an Object of Pure Practical Reason 08 - Table of the Categories of Freedom relatively to the Notions of Good and Evil 09 - Of the Motives of Pure Practical Reason 10 - Critical Examination of the Analytic of Pure Practical Reason 11 - Of a Dialectic of Pure Practical Reason Generally 12 - Of the Dialectic of Pure Reason in defining the Conception of the 13 - Critical Solution of the Antimony of Practical Reason 14 - Of the Primacy of Pure Practical Reason in its Union with the Speculative Reason 15 - The Existence of God as a Postulate of Pure Practical Reason 16 - Of the Postulates of Pure Practical Reason Generally 17 - Of Belief from a Requirement of Pure Reason 18 - Methodology of Pure Practical Reason The Critique of Pure Reason Read by Multiple Readers Running Time:26:09:21in 2 MP3 CDs The Critique of Pure Reason, first published in 1781 with a second edition in 1787, has been called the most influential and important philosophical text of the modern age. Kant saw the Critique of Pure Reason as an attempt to bridge the gap between rationalism (there are significant ways in which our concepts and knowledge are gained independently of sense experience) and empiricism (sense experience is the ultimate source of all our concepts and knowledge) and, in particular, to counter the radical empiricism of David Hume (our beliefs are purely the result of accumulated habits, developed in response to accumulated sense experiences). Using the methods of science, Kant demonstrates that though each mind may, indeed, create its own universe, those universes are guided by certain common laws, which are rationally discernible. 01 - The Critique of Pure Reason 02 - Preface to the Second Edition, 1787 03 - Introduction 04 - Trancendental Aesthetic - Introductory - Of Space 05 -Transcendental Doctrine of Elements--Time 06 - Transcendental Logic 07 - Transcendental Analytic 08 - Deduction of the Pure Conceptions 09 - Transcendental Deduction of the pure Conceptions of the Understanding.

It argues for an a priori basis for morality. Where the Critique of Pure Reason laid out Kant's metaphysical and epistemological ideas, this relatively short, primarily meta-ethical, work was intended to outline and define the concepts and arguments shaping his future work The Metaphysics of Morals. However, the latter work is much less readable than the Fundamental Principles. 0 Preface 1 Transition from the common rational knowledge of morality to the philosophical 2 Transition from popular moral philosophy to the metaphysic of morals, part 1 3 Transition from popular moral philosophy to the metaphysic of morals, part 2 4 Transition from popular moral philosophy to the metaphysic of morals, part 3 5 Final step from the metaphysic of morals to the critique of the pure practical reason Our Audiobooks are Complete and Unabridged (unless otherwise indicated)Our Audiobooks are always read by real people, never by computers.Please Note: These recorded readings are from the author's original works which are in the public domain.
