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

Immanuel Kant

Maison d'édition: Good Press

Synopsis

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.

Sripad Jagannatha Dasa And The...

The Buddha, also known as Siddhārtha Gautama, was a philosopher, mendicant, meditator, spiritual teacher, and religious leader who lived in Ancient India. He is revered as the founder of Buddhism. He taught for around forty five years and built a large following, both monastic and lay. His teaching is based on his insight into suffering and the end of such – the state called Nirvana.Prince Gautama was born into an aristocratic family but eventually joined the renounced order of life. After several years of mendicancy, meditation, and asceticism, he awakened to understand the workings of the cycle of rebirth and how it can be escaped. The Buddha then traveled widely teaching. He taught the middle way between sensual indulgence and severe asceticism. He taught a training of the mind that included self-restraint, and meditative practices such as mindfulness. The Buddha also critiqued the practices of Brahmin priests, such as animal sacrifice.Here is the illumined heart of his divine timeless teachings.

Secrets of Witches

Raphael Terra

This audiobook has been recorded using Text to speech (TTS). 
 
Most people know of witches from the movies. Horror films with evil, cackling old women dressed in black, mixing potions and lotions and bringing doom to her victims. 
 
The truth is in fact, as normal, far from the Hollywood version. Most of this false reality comes from religious intolerance over the centuries. Witchcraft was a threat to established religion and can be dated right back into the Bible itself. 
 
Church propaganda spread stories and fear among the masses. This in turn brought down violence upon those practising witchcraft. Hounded out of town, victimised or even burned alive or drowned, the role of those practising the old arts was not one to be jealous of. If there was any true horror, then it was for the witches themselves. 
 
Their craft is as old as history and it holds a great many truths, both natural and psychological. It finds it’s origins in ancient techniques of natural healing and a uniting of the natural world with that of humanity. Many of the discoveries made by witches are now common practice in homeopathy. 
 
So what is the real truth? Did witches deal with the devil? Did they eat their victims? Did they mix their special brews in big black cauldrons? It’s time to find out.

Claiming Alexander

Leo Sparx

For readers who enjoy a dark mysterious plot with their sexy books, this m/m (and m/m/m) series is just as sinister as it is kinky and was inspired by the Edgar Allan Poe tale, “The Fall of the House of Usher.” 
A gay otter boy (meaning: a young fit man who does not shave his body hair) named Alexander, is an out-of-work huslter in his small town by the ocean. In a sudden change of luck he finds himself drawn to a strange mansion and inside, a mysterious millionaire pulls him into a world of sinister extravagance and sexual discipline. With a background as a sex worker, Alexander is no stranger to trading his furry body for money, but he was never expecting to develop deep feelings for his new eccentric keeper. 
With an introduction to the BDSM lifestyle, the mostly submissive Alexander learns a great deal about himself and his master through whipping, CBT, endurance, and being collared to an older man. Unsure if he is a toy, pet, or partner to the Daddy of the manor he used to think was abandoned, Alexander navigates the secrets of the interior with another otter boy from his past. Things get complicated further when emotions for the other hustler in the strict hierarchy come to the surface and he breaks one of the many rules within the house. 
Including paranormal elements and unexpected magic, this queer erotic romance series begins in the fall season at the House of Otter then twists and turns through the seasons. Expect: jockstraps and hairy men, Daddy and Boy dynamics, bondage, sadomachochism, harnesses, dominance, fetish gear, nipple play, mystical prophecies, destiny, and whispered words with the power to open the door to forbidden fantasies. In the end, Alexander must decide how much of his body and sexual freedom he is willing to surrender in exchange for a life of opulent luxury. 
It’s Edgar Allan Poe but with a queer, kinky, and paranormal twist!
