Contained in this volume is the first part of Immanuel Kant's "Critique of Judgement", which is subtitled "The Critique of Aesthetic Judgement" and in which Kant discusses aesthetics and how as humans we decide what is beautiful and how in turn we respond to that beauty. Immanuel Kant, considered by many to be one of the most important philosophers of all time gives us much to consider on the nature of beauty in this intriguing exposition on the subject. [via]

In THE CRITIQUE OF JUDGMENT (1790), Immanuel Kant (1724-1804) seeks to establish the a priori principles underlying the faculty of judgement, just as he did in his previous critiques of pure and practical reason. The first part deals with the subject of our aesthetic sensibility; we respond to certain natural phenomena as beautiful, says Kant, when we recognise in nature a harmonious order that satisfies the mind's own need for order. The second half of the critique concentrates on the apparent teleology in nature's design of organisms. Kant argues that our minds are inclined to see purpose and order in nature and this is the main principle underlying all of our judgements. Although this might imply a super sensible Designer, Kant insists that we cannot prove a supernatural dimension or the existence of God. Such considerations are beyond reason and are solely the province of faith. [via]

Like Werner Pluhar's distinguished translation of "Critique of Judgment" (Hackett Publishing Co., 1987), this new rendering of "Critique of Pure Reason" reflects the elegant achievement of a master translator. This richly annotated volume offers translations of the complete texts of both the first and second editions, as well as Kant's own notes. Extensive editorial notes by Werner Pluhar and James Ellington supply explanatory and terminological comments, translations of Latin and other foreign expressions, variant readings, cross-references to other passages in the text and in other writings of Kant, and references to secondary works. An extensive bibliography, glossary, and detailed index are included. Patricia Kitcher's illuminating Introduction provides a roadmap to Kant's abstract and complex argumentation by firmly locating his view in the context of eighteenth-century - and current - attempts to understand the nature of the thinking mind and its ability to comprehend the physical universe.

This book is a translation of a classic work of modern social and political thought. Elements of the Philosophy of Right, Hegel's last major published work, is an attempt to systematize ethical theory, natural right, the philosophy of law, political theory, and the sociology of the modern state into the framework of Hegel's philosophy of history. Hegel's work has been interpreted in radically different ways, influencing many political movements from far right to far left, and is widely perceived as central to the communitarian tradition in modern ethical, social, and political thought. This edition includes extensive editorial material informing the reader of the historical background of Hegel's text, and explaining his allusions to Roman law and other sources, making use of lecture materials which have only recently become available. The new translation is literal, readable, and consistent, and will be informative and scholarly enough to serve the needs of students and specialists alike. [via]

In the second half of the eighteenth century, German philosophy dominated European philosophy, changing the way Europeans and people all over the world conceived of themselves and thought about nature, religion, human history, politics, and the structure of the human mind. In this rich and wide-ranging book, Terry Pinkard interweaves the story of "Germany"--changing during this period from a loose collection of principalities into a newly-emerged nation with a distinctive culture--with an examination of the currents and complexities of its developing philosophical thought. He examines the dominant influence of Kant, with his revolutionary emphasis on "self-determination," and traces this influence through the development of romanticism and idealism to the critiques of post-Kantian thinkers such as Schopenhauer and Kierkegaard. His book will interest a range of readers in the history of philosophy, cultural history and the history of ideas. Terry Pinkard is professor of Philosophy at Northwestern University and is the author of the acclaimed Hegel: A Biography (Cambridge, 2000). He is honorary Professor of the Philosophy Faculty of TÜbingen University, Germany and serves on the advisory board for the Zeitschrift fÜr Philosophique Forschung. [via]

Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel was not only a great philosopher but a great historian of philosophy. He invented the idea of the philosophical tradition as a discussion among philosophers extending over centuries centering on a few main philosophical problems. The conceptual scheme, widely accepted in histories of philosophy, emerged in Hegel's lectures at the same time as German idealism itself. This new abridgment of a well-known edition makes the main insights of Hegel's famous Lectures on the History of Philosophy widely available in an inexpensive edition.
In this student-oriented text, Professor Tom Rockmore selects the most significant material in a one-volume abridgment. A short introduction explains the purpose and principles of the selections and assesses the continued importance of the work. This is followed by selections that include parts of the introduction to the discussion of Greek philosophy, as well as the sections on Socrates, Plato, and Aristotle; the introduction to modern philosophy; and then the sections on Descartes, Spinoza, Leibniz, Locke, Berkeley, Hume, Kant, Fichte, Schelling, and the "Final Result."

"This collection of Kojeve's thoughts about Hegel constitutes one of the few important philosophical books of the twentieth century-a book, knowledge of which is requisite to the full awareness of our situation and to the grasp of the most modern perspective on the eternal questions of philosophy."-Allan Bloom (from the Introduction)
During the years 1933-1939, the Russian-born and German-educated Marxist political philosopher Alexandre Kojève (1902-1968) brilliantly explicated-through a series of lectures-the philosophy of Hegel as it was developed in the Phenomenology of Spirit. This collection of lectures-originally compiled by Raymond Queneau and edited for its English-language translation by Allan Bloom-shows the intensity of Kojève's study and thought and the depth of his insight into Hegel's Phenomenology. More important-for Kojève was above all a philosopher and not an ideologue-this profound and venturesome work on Hegel will expose the readers to the excitement of discovering a great mind in all its force and power.

Die Erfolgsgeschichte der modernen Naturwissenschaften vor Augen, wollte Kant auch die Philosophie, insbesondere die Metaphysik auf den sicheren Weg einer Wissenschaft bringen. Das Ergebnis war jedoch die wohl wirkungsvollste und nachhaltigste Zerstörung metaphysischen Denkens in der neuzeitlichen Philosophie.
Kant sprach von einer Kopernikanischen Wende. Sie sollte dadurch herbeigeführt werden, dass die philosophische Erkenntnis sich von den Gegenständen selbst auf die Möglichkeit der Erkenntnis derselben zurückwendet. Kritik der reinen Vernunft bedeutet daher vor allem Selbstprüfung des menschlichen Erkenntnisvermögens hinsichtlich seiner Grenzen und Erkenntnismöglichkeiten. Kants für die moderne Philosophie grundlegende Einsicht war, dass erfahrungsunabhängige, also metaphysische Erkenntnis nur in der Einschränkung auf die formalen Bedingungen möglicher Erfahrung beweisbar und damit alle traditionelle Metaphysik nichts als Scheinwissenschaft ist.
Grundvoraussetzung für dieses Projekt ist die Rückführung aller gültigen Erkenntnis auf die im Subjekt angelegten Bedingungen. So wie Raum und Zeit keine Gegenstände, sondern reine, subjektive Anschauungsformen möglichen Gegebenseins von konkreten empirischen Erscheinungen sind, so sind auch die reinen Verstandesbegriffe bloß formale Bedingungen der Einheit möglicher Objekte. Wir erkennen nie die Dinge an sich selbst, sondern nur die Erscheinungen, das heißt die Gegenstände, wie sie uns durch die formalen Bedingungen unseres Erkenntnisvermögens gegeben sind.
Vor allem Kants idealistische Erben wollten sich mit dieser Einschränkung der Erkenntnis auf die Erscheinungswelt nicht zufrieden geben und gingen daher über Kants kritischen Idealismus hinaus. Statt dessen versucht man in der sprachphilosophisch geläuterten, modernen Erkenntnistheorie (Putnam, McDowell) wieder an Kants Kritizismus Anschluss zu finden. --Jens Kertscher [via]

G. W. F. Hegel (1770-1831), the influential German philosopher, believed that human history was advancing spiritually and morally according to God's purpose. At the beginning of Lectures on the History of Philosophy, Hegel writes: "What the history of Philosophy shows us is a succession of noble minds, a gallery of heroes of thought, who, by the power of Reason, have penetrated into the being of things, of nature and of spirit, into the Being of God, and have won for us by their labours the highest treasure, the treasure of reasoned knowledge." Volume 2 of Lectures on the History of Philosophy, titled Plato and the Platonists for this Bison Books edition, introduces the most renowned disciple of Socrates and the theory of Platonic forms before moving to Plato's disciple, Aristotle, whose advance to scientific thinking is carefully detailed. The subsequent increasing systematization and sophistication of philosophy leads to a discussion of the Stoics, Epicureans, and Sceptics. The first period in the history of philosophy comes to maturity with Plotinus in the third century B.C. [via]

An English translation of Hegel's introduction to his lectures on the philosophy of history, based directly on the standard German edition by Johannes Hoffmeister, first published in 1955. The previous English translation, by J. Sibree, first appeared in 1857 and was based on the defective German edition of Karl Hegel, to which Hoffmeister's edition added a large amount of new material previously unknown to English readers, derived from earlier editors. In the introduction to his lectures, Hegel lays down the principles and aims which underlie his philosophy of history, and provides an outline of the philosophy of history itself. The comprehensive and voluminous survey of world history which followed the introduction in the original lectures is of less interest to students of Hegel's thought than the introduction, and is therefore not included in this volume.

The Metaphysics of Morals is Kant's major work in applied moral philosophy in which he deals with the basic principles of rights and of virtues. It comprises two parts: the "Doctrine of Right," which deals with the rights that people have or can acquire, and the "Doctrine of Virtue," which deals with the virtues they ought to acquire. Mary Gregor's translation, revised for publication in Cambridge Texts in the History of Philosophy, is the only complete translation of the whole text. It includes extensive annotation on Kant's difficult and sometimes unfamiliar vocabulary. A new introduction by Roger Sullivan sets the work in its historical and philosophical context. [via]

› Find signed collectible books: 'Phanomenologie Des Geistes'
Wissenschaft der Erfahrung des Bewußtseins, so lautete der ursprüngliche Titel von Hegels erstem, 1807 erschienenen Hauptwerk. Noch während der Buchbindearbeiten wurde er abgeändert in Wissenschaft von der Phänomenologie des Geistes, unter dem das Buch heute bekannt ist. Ähnlich verwickelt wie die Titelfrage und die Entstehungsgeschichte sind Struktur und Aufbau des Werkes, das, wie schon von Zeitgenossen beobachtet wurde, zwischen der Individualentwicklung des zu sich kommenden Bewusstseins und der kollektiven Bildungsgeschichte der Menschheit unproportioniert schwankt.
Wollte man den Inhalt bündig zusammenfassen, könnte man vielleicht sagen, dass die Phänomenologie des Geistes darstellen will, wie das absolute Wissen, nach Hegel die vollkommene Übereinstimmung von Wissen und Gewusstem, in verschiedenen Gestalten des Bewusstseins erscheint und an ihnen sich auswirkt. Dieser Weg des Erscheinens, gleichsam die Odyssee des menschlichen Geistes, hat ihr eigenes Bewegungsgesetz, für das Hegel das Zauberwort Dialektik geprägt hat. Jeder erscheinende bewusstseinsmäßige Ausgriff auf einen Gegenstand, in dem Wissen und Gegenstand zur Deckung gelangen sollen, erweist sich als unzureichend, so dass jede Gestalt über sich hinausweist auf eine höhere, neue Bewusstseinsstufe, der sich die Erkenntnis wiederum anzugleichen hat. Erst wenn der Geist sich nicht nur anschaut, sondern sich wissend durchschaut hat, ist das Werden der Wissenschaft in der Philosophie vollendet.
Für die Erforschung des menschlichen Selbstverständnisses in der historisch gewachsenen, modernen Wirklichkeit, ist die Phänomenologie des Geistes ein einzigartiges Dokument. Lehrstücke wie die Dialektik von Herrschaft und Knechtschaft wurden zu einem Schlüsseltext marxistischer Gesellschaftskritik und bilden noch heute einen Anknüpfungspunkt in sozialphilosophischen Debatten. --Jens Kertscher [via]

One of his biggest achievements was to introduce the idea that History and the concrete are important in getting out of the circle of philosophia perennis, i.e., the perennial problems of philosophy. His influence has been widespread on writers of widely varying positions, including both his admirers (F. H.

Klappentext:
In der 1785 veröffentlichten Grundlegung zur Metaphysik der Sitten formuliert Kant erstmals die Prinzipien einer universalistischen Ethik der Autonomie, deren Einfluß bis heute ungebrochen ist. Schon beim Übergang von der gemeinen zur philosophischen Vernunfterkenntnis findet man die Hauptgedanken: In der Ethik geht es nicht primär um das gute Leben und das Glück, und es geht auch zunächst nicht darum, welche Handlungserfolge erzielt werden; Gegenstand moralischer Hochschätzung sind vielmehr Intentionen und Maximen. Gut ist, was für alle vernünftigen Wesen gilt, weil es von ihnen als autonomen und vernünftigen Wesen gewollt wird.Die Schrift ist kurz, einfach gegliedert und verständlich geschrieben. Sie eignet sich daher als Einführung in Kants Ethik, enthält aber zugleich als Grundlegung alle wesentlichen Gedanken seiner praktischen Philosophie.Auf der Grundlage der Originalausgabe von 1785/86 wurde der Text völlig neu erstellt. Eines der wichtigsten Bücher der Philosophiegeschichte liegt damit in einer zuverlässigen und preisgünstigen Neuausgabe vor.

Wissenschaft der Erfahrung des Bewußtseins, so lautete der ursprüngliche Titel von Hegels erstem, 1807 erschienenen Hauptwerk. Noch während der Buchbindearbeiten wurde er abgeändert in Wissenschaft von der Phänomenologie des Geistes, unter dem das Buch heute bekannt ist. Ähnlich verwickelt wie die Titelfrage und die Entstehungsgeschichte sind Struktur und Aufbau des Werkes, das, wie schon von Zeitgenossen beobachtet wurde, zwischen der Individualentwicklung des zu sich kommenden Bewusstseins und der kollektiven Bildungsgeschichte der Menschheit unproportioniert schwankt.
Wollte man den Inhalt bündig zusammenfassen, könnte man vielleicht sagen, dass die Phänomenologie des Geistes darstellen will, wie das absolute Wissen, nach Hegel die vollkommene Übereinstimmung von Wissen und Gewusstem, in verschiedenen Gestalten des Bewusstseins erscheint und an ihnen sich auswirkt. Dieser Weg des Erscheinens, gleichsam die Odyssee des menschlichen Geistes, hat ihr eigenes Bewegungsgesetz, für das Hegel das Zauberwort Dialektik geprägt hat. Jeder erscheinende bewusstseinsmäßige Ausgriff auf einen Gegenstand, in dem Wissen und Gegenstand zur Deckung gelangen sollen, erweist sich als unzureichend, so dass jede Gestalt über sich hinausweist auf eine höhere, neue Bewusstseinsstufe, der sich die Erkenntnis wiederum anzugleichen hat. Erst wenn der Geist sich nicht nur anschaut, sondern sich wissend durchschaut hat, ist das Werden der Wissenschaft in der Philosophie vollendet.
Für die Erforschung des menschlichen Selbstverständnisses in der historisch gewachsenen, modernen Wirklichkeit, ist die Phänomenologie des Geistes ein einzigartiges Dokument. Lehrstücke wie die Dialektik von Herrschaft und Knechtschaft wurden zu einem Schlüsseltext marxistischer Gesellschaftskritik und bilden noch heute einen Anknüpfungspunkt in sozialphilosophischen Debatten. --Jens Kertscher [via]

Es ist eine gute Weile her, daß ich Immanuel Kants Kritik der Urteilskraft (1790) gelesen habe. Beim neuerlichen Reinschauen aber erfaßt mich wieder der Wortstrudel der Kantschen Syntax und Begrifflichkeiten, der das Hirn nach nur wenigen Sätzen seiner linguistischen Funktionalität zu berauben scheint. Spätestens beim ersten Umblättern stellt sich jenes Aha-Gefühl ein, das einen sonst nur beim Anblick asiatischer Sprachsysteme befällt, beim Lesen eines deutschen Textes aber an den Rand des Wahnsinn bringen kann.
Wer nun gleich aufgibt, erspart sich zwar eine Menge Lesearbeit, beraubt sich zugleich aber einer ungemein spannenden Lektüreerfahrung. Kant begreifen heißt, sich auf seine Sprache einlassen. So nähert man sich fast zwangsläufig einer zentralen Idee dieser dritten großen kritischen Schrift. Denn, sagt Kant, das Wesen des Geschmacks liegt darin, daß er ohne das Interesse am Objekt des Urteils auskommt. Ästhetisches Urteilen ist interesseloses Wohlgefallen (oder Mißfallen), der Zweck bleibt außen vor. Will heißen: Die Bewertung der Qualität der "Kritik der Urteilskraft" steht vollkommen außerhalb der Frage, ob die Quälerei irgendetwas bringt. Schließlich lasse sich über das Erhabene und Schöne nicht streiten, "und sofern kann man nicht sagen: Ein jeder hat seinen besonderen Geschmack".
Das große Rätsel dieses Werks bleibt das Paradox zwischen allem Anfang Ästhetischen Empfindens im Subjektiven und einem "Gemeinsinn", der es einem erlaubt, das eigene Schönheitsempfinden mit anderen zu teilen. Und die Einsicht in dieses seltsame Verhältnis sorgt für die intellektuelle Lust, die einem diese Erkenntnis (und jede andere etwas komplizierte auch) vermitteln kann. Fragen Sie nicht, was es bringt. Lesen und urteilen Sie! --Harald Stucke [via]

Nuestra epoca es la epoca de la critica, a la que todo tiene que someterse. La religion por su santidad y la legislacion por su majestad quieren generalmente sustraerse a ella. Pero entonces suscitan contra si sospechas justificadas y no pueden aspirar a un respeto sincero, que la razon solo concede a quien ha podido sostener libre y publico examen .Immanuel Kant [via]
