Immanuel Kant is among the most pivotal thinkers in the history of philosophy. His transcendental idealism claims to overcome the scepticism of David Hume, resolve the impasse between empiricism and rationalism, and establish the reality of human freedom and moral agency. A thorough understanding of Kant is indispensable for any student of philosophy. The significance of Kants thought is matched by its complexity. His revolutionary ideas are systematically interconnected and he presents them using a forbidding technical vocabulary. A careful investigation of the key concepts that structure Kants work is essential to the comprehension of his philosophical project. This book provides an accessible introduction to Kant by explaining each of the key concepts of his philosophy. The book is organized into three parts, which correspond to the main areas of Kants transcendental idealism: theoretical philosophy, practical philosophy, and aesthetics, teleology, religion. Each chapter presents an overview of a particular topic, while the whole provides a clear and comprehensive account of Kants philosophical system.
