Critique of Practical Reason (Kritik der praktischen Vernunft)

Immanuel Kant

Beschreibung

Immanuel Kant's "Critique of Practical Reason" serves as a foundational text in moral philosophy, elucidating his pivotal concepts of duty, moral law, and autonomy. Written in a rigorous and systematic style, this work extends the exploration initiated in his earlier "Critique of Pure Reason," bridging theoretical understanding with practical application. Kant articulates the necessity of a universal moral law grounded in reason, arguing for a categorical imperative that compels individuals to act according to maxims that could be legislated as universal law. Through meticulous analysis and dense argumentation, Kant's literary form reflects Enlightenment ideals, fostering a discourse that elevates rationality as the essence of ethical principles. Immanuel Kant, a luminary of the Enlightenment, constructed his moral philosophy during a period rife with metaphysical speculation and burgeoning empirical science. His academic journey at the University of Königsberg was marked by intellectual rigor and an unwavering commitment to reason, which propelled him to question the nature of human freedom and moral accountability. The "Critique of Practical Reason" not only builds upon his critical philosophy but also resonates with his life experiences in a rapidly changing world, where the quest for moral certainty became increasingly vital. I highly recommend "Critique of Practical Reason" to readers seeking a profound engagement with ethical reasoning and the role of human agency. Kant's work challenges us to reconsider our moral responsibilities within the frameworks of rationality and autonomy, making it essential for students of philosophy and anyone invested in understanding the principles underpinning human behavior. His arguments continue to influence contemporary debates in ethics, reinforcing the timelessness of his insights and their applicability to modern moral dilemmas.

Moors in Italy The: The History...

Editors Charles River

The term Moor is a historical rather than an ethnic name. It is an invention of European Christians for the Islamic inhabitants of Maghreb (North Africa), Andalusia (Spain), Sicily and Malta, and was sometimes use to designate all Muslims. It is derived from Mauri, the Latin name for the Berbers who lived in the Roman province of Mauretania.
The Berbers established several powerful and prosperous states on the south Mediterranean coast. They ruled Numidia – now part of Algeria – until conquered by the Carthaginians. After the fall of Carthage, the Berber kingdom of Mauretania –not to be confused with the country created by the French – dominated northwestern Africa before it was conquered by Rome in the 1st century BCE. Under Roman rule they made great contributions to civilization and were certainly not the wild, untamed tribesmen of popular imagination. Augustine, Bishop of Hippo regius in Numidia, was a Berber and one of the greatest philosophers and theologians not only of his own time but of all time. The list of religious leaders drawn from the Berbers includes Tertullian, Popes Victor I, Miltiades and Gelasius I and the heresiarch Arius. The playwright Terence was a Berber, as were several noted Roman governors and three emperors.
As the Roman Empire in the West collapsed, the Berbers succumbed to the Vandals, a Germanic tribe from Europe, in the 5th century CE. However, the Eastern Roman Empire, centered in Constantinople rather than Rome, underwent something of a renewal, and the whole of the African coast from the Sinai Peninsula to the Straits of Gibraltar returned to Byzantine rule. With that, the Berbers were once again subject to a foreign power, but soon they would exchange their new masters for another, the Arabs, who would bring a new religion, Islam. Through Islam the Berbers would once again come into their own and influence the course of Mediterranean history as their ancient ancestors had done.
