The Critique of Pure Reason: Base Plan for Transcendental Philosophy - Exploring the Limits of Human Understanding and Metaphysical Knowledge

Immanuel Kant

Beschreibung

In "The Critique of Pure Reason: Base Plan for Transcendental Philosophy," Immanuel Kant embarks on a monumental quest to explore the foundations of human knowledge and its limitations. This seminal work is characterized by Kant'Äôs meticulous analytical style, employing a systematic approach to dissect metaphysics and epistemology. The book reflects the Enlightenment's intellectual climate, as Kant seeks to reconcile rationalism and empiricism, positing his famous distinction between 'a priori' and 'a posteriori' knowledge while introducing the revolutionary concept of transcendental idealism. It challenges readers to consider not merely what we know, but how we come to know it, situating human cognition at the heart of philosophical inquiry. Immanuel Kant, a pivotal figure in Western philosophy, emerged from a modest background in K√∂nigsberg, where he developed his ideas in response to the prevailing philosophical currents of his time. His lifelong engagement with metaphysics and ethics culminated in the formulation of transcendental philosophy, which sought to establish a robust framework for understanding the interplay between experience and understanding. Kant's profound reflections on reason arguably stemmed from his desire to address the epistemic crises he perceived in contemporary metaphysical traditions. This book is essential reading for anyone interested in the foundations of modern philosophy or the history of ideas. Kant's rigorous examination of reason remains relevant today, inviting a deeper understanding of the limits and possibilities of human cognition. "The Critique of Pure Reason" is not merely an academic treatise; it is a transformative work that compels readers to confront the very nature of knowledge itself.

Poisoning the Press - Richard...

Mark Feldstein

It is March 1972, and the Nixon White House wants Jack Anderson dead. The syndicated columnist Jack Anderson, the most famous and feared investigative reporter in the nation, has exposed yet another of the President's dirty secrets. Nixon's operatives are ordered to "stop Anderson at all costs"—permanently. Across the street from the White House, they huddle in a hotel basement to conspire. Should they try "Aspirin Roulette" and break into Anderson's home to plant a poisoned pill in one of his medicine bottles? Could they smear LSD on the journalist's steering wheel, so that he would absorb it through his skin, lose control of his car, and crash? Or stage a routine-looking mugging, making Anderson appear to be one more fatal victim of Washington's notorious street crime?Poisoning the Press: Richard Nixon, Jack Anderson, and the Rise of Washington's Scandal Culture recounts not only the disturbing story of an unprecedented White House conspiracy to assassinate a journalist, but also the larger tale of the bitter quarter-century battle between the postwar era's most embattled politician and its most reviled newsman. The struggle between Nixon and Anderson included bribery, blackmail, forgery, spying, and burglary as well as the White House murder plot. Their vendetta symbolized and accelerated the growing conflict between the government and the press, a clash that would long outlive both men.Mark Feldstein traces the arc of this confrontation between a vindictive president and a flamboyant, crusading muckraker who rifled through garbage and swiped classified papers in pursuit of his prey—stoking the paranoia in Nixon that would ultimately lead to his ruin. The White House plot to poison Anderson, Feldstein argues, is a metaphor for the poisoned political atmosphere that would follow, and the toxic sensationalism that contaminates contemporary media discourse. Melding history and biography, Poisoning the Press unearths significant new information from more than two hundred interviews and thousands of declassified documents and tapes. This is a chronicle of political intrigue and the true price of power for politicians and journalists alike. The result—Washington's modern scandal culture—was Richard Nixon's ultimate revenge.
