Kant's philosophy - The Kingdom of purposes: The categorical imperative

from Kant's Philosophy · host The Voice of Reason

The human being is a citizen of two worlds according to Kant: Not only a part of nature but also a member in a supersensual kingdom of purposes together with all other rational beings. And while in nature he is subjected to a law from outside of him, morality commands to regard oneself in the kingdom of purposes as if one were to give to it a law through one's own will.Quote: 0:08The categorical imperative: 0:44Kingdom: 6:15The kingdom of nature: 10:47The kingdom of purposes: 13:44The nihilistic rejection of the kingdom of purposes: 25:30The third formula of the categorical imperative: 35:53Only morality brings harmony into the purposes of rational beings: 44:56The type of the moral law: 57:24The role of purposiveness in Kant's system: 1:00:59Morality sets truly free: 1:10:46Man is a citizen of two worlds: 1:13:53The kingdom of grace: 1:24:25Kant tries to save humans from the cliffs of empiricism and enthusiasm: 1:35:37Kant's reception of Swedenborg: 1:47:44Thanks: 1:56:52Whoever wants to support my aufkläring work can do so via:https://ko-fi.com/jonathanivoloewerhttps://www.patreon.com/jonathanivoloewerhttps://www.paypal.com/donate/?hosted_button_id=VDDT7T7XHR77UThumbnail: www.hotpot.ai
