to dip in and out of, readers will be fascinated to see just how Kant’s proposals have stood the test of time.

A fantastic read for those interested in the great philosopher’s works and anyone with a fascination for the human condition. Born in Königsberg, Immanuel Kant (1724 – 1804) was one of Germany’s most important philosophers and a leading figure in the ‘Age of Enlightenment’ movement. At Königsberg University, he was introduced to philosophers such as Leibniz and Wolff, before assembling his ideas for what would later become known as ‘transcendental idealism.’ After some years in self-imposed social exile, Kant published his most famous work, ‘Critique of Pure Reason.’ Arguing that some knowledge exists purely as a mental construct, irrespective of experience, he established himself as one of the most forward-thinking philosophers of his generation.
