Kant Quotes

Kant is the most evil man in mankind’s history Picture Quote #1

Surely the world will be a better place, at least marginally, if people have a better understanding of Kant and Hegel, if Marx’s thought its studied and appreciated, if people gain a better understanding of Fichte, whose philosophy is far more important than people realize Picture Quote #1

I am a humanist because I think humanity can, with constant moral guidance, create reasonably decent societies. I think that young people who want to understand the world can profit from the works of Plato and Socrates, the behaviour of the three Thomases, Aquinas, more and Jefferson - the austere analyses of Immanuel Kant and the political leadership of Abraham Lincoln and Franklin Roosevelt Picture Quote #1

Kant introduced the concept of the negative into philosophy. Would it not also be worthwhile to try to introduce the concept of the positive into philosophy? Picture Quote #1

Kant and Hegel are interesting thinkers. But I am happy to insist that they are also terrible writers Picture Quote #1

All praise to the masters indeed, but we too could produce a Kant or a Hugo Picture Quote #1

Well, I don’t know if I can comment on Kant or Hegel because I’m no real philosopher in the sense of knowing what these people have said in any detail so let me not comment on that too much Picture Quote #1

[To] interpret Parmenides as a Kant before Kant ... this is exactly what we must do Picture Quote #1

You read the pragmatists and all you know is: not Descartes, not Kant, not Plato. It’s like aspirin. You can’t use aspirin to give yourself power, you take it to get rid of headaches. In that way, pragmatism is a philosophical therapy. It helps you stop asking the unhelpful questions Picture Quote #1

Kant does represents a distinctively modern view of the human condition in contrast to that of ancient high culture, found in ancient Greek ethics and also in ancient Chinese ethics Picture Quote #1

Kant does not regard freedom as an item of faith because it is too basic to our agency to be related to any end Picture Quote #1

Immanuel Kant famously claimed that ‘he who wills the ends wills the means,’ but he never spent much time in Washington Picture Quote #1

As long as I’m dealing in honesty, I may as well admit that I have been more influenced (as a person) by my childhood readings of Tolkien and Lewis than I have been by any philosophers I read in college and grad school. The events and characters in Narnia and Middle Earth shaped my ideals, my dreams, my goals. Kant just annoyed me Picture Quote #1
