IMMANUEL KANT
Book ID/图书代码： 14932926C00007
English Summary/英文概要： The great German philosopher Immanuel Kant (1724–1804) had
astonishing conversational skills, was intelligently attentive to his frail
physical constitution and lived with a single-minded dedication to the
moral education of humanity. This concise biography highlights Kant as
someone who embodied extreme intellectual ambition and unshakeable
self-discipline. Robert Wicks explores the long-term influence of Kant’s
Pietistic upbringing, the initial frustrations in his search for intellectual
fame, his impressive friendships and his reactions to momentous historical
events such as the French Revolution. He also considers critically the
accusations that Kant was sexist, antisemitic and racist, and describes
Kant’s final years along with his philosophical legacy. This is an accessible,
illuminating account of Kant’s complex philosophical ideas in the context
of his life and times.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 偉大的德國哲學家伊曼努爾·康德（1724-1804）擁有驚人的談吐技巧，他敏銳地關注著自己虛弱的身體，並畢生致力於人類的道德教育。這本簡明傳記著重展現了康德極高的求知慾和堅不可摧的自律精神。羅伯特·威克斯探討了康德虔誠主義成長經歷的深遠影響、他早期追求學術聲譽的挫折、他令人敬佩的友誼以及他對法國大革命等重大歷史事件的反應。威克斯也批判性地審視了關於康德性別歧視、反猶太主義和種族主義的指控，並描述了康德的晚年生活及其哲學遺產。本書以簡單易懂的方式，結合康德的生平和時代背景，闡釋了他複雜的哲學思想。(Zoe)

‘Written for the general reader, Wick’s brisk biography of Kant gives
us three valuable things: a sense of the man, a generous set of
discussions of his writings, and the needed context – historical,
philosophical, and scientific – to better appreciate why Kant’s ideas
were so important in his day and are still “a big deal” in our own.’
– Steve Naragon, Professor Emeritus of Philosophy,
Manchester University, Indiana, and editor of Portraits of Kant
‘Robert Wicks’s splendid book reintegrates Kant’s epochal philosophy
into his remarkable life, illuminating both. Lucid, informative,
imaginative and accurate, it is engaging for general readers and for
students of Kant at any level.’ – Kenneth R. Westphal, Member of
Academia Europaea and author of Kant’s Critical Epistemology
