Kant Book

If you're not following these guys over at "Existential Comics", it's about time! )

I think it would be a gross understatement to suggest that I merely enjoyed reading this book. But I can't say that I have been successfully initiated into Kant's world, though I have found the necessary footing I needed, and I have Allen to thank for that! Far more accessible than I had expected! And far more fascinating than I was led to believe! I liked the idea behind the natural teleology thingy that there's a purposiveness to the world and to human nature, that was cool. And I totally second the "unsociable sociability" thingy, I can totally dig that, and I really respect Herr Kant to insist that we battle the competitiveness that inherently exists between us, and to fulfill the rights we have upon each other, if not for grandiose reasons, but simply out of respect of our human dignity. You are an end in yourself, and I must treat you that way. I think that's really nice.

Anyway, following in Riku's footsteps, here's Ian's review of another book on Kant for anyone who is interested in a more detailed exploration of his world:

It gets rough, you surely feel lost sometimes, but it's worth it. For by the end, you feel your mind having been widened by several precious inches. And I think that's an absolutely sublime thing a book can do to you!
