Immanuel Kant lived in the 18th century and is considered to be one of the greatest German philosophers and one of the central Enlightenment thinkers of all time. His philosophical revolution was to place the human at the center of the philosophical study of knowledge, morality, and beauty. He deeply believed that reason is the root of morality. His thoughts on the relationship between reason and human experience led to the notion of “procedural humanism” or “Kantian humanism”.
The work of Immanuel Kant is still relevant today as the humanistic values of Western culture are deeply influenced by the Kantian moral philosophy. His philosophy is called Kantianism
The fundamental idea of Kant’s “critical philosophy” – especially in his three Critiques: the Critique of Pure Reason (1781, 1787), the Critique of Practical Reason (1788), and the Critique of the Power of Judgment (1790) – is human autonomy. He argues that human understanding is the source of the general laws of nature that structure all our experience; and that human reason gives itself the moral law, which is our basis for belief in God, freedom, and immortality.

When I think about the purpose of life, the following comes to mind from Jordan Peterson ― “The purpose of life, is to find a mode of being that’s so meaningful that the fact that life is suffering is no longer relevant.”

Love number 1. Treat all humans with respect. We’re all just trying to achieve our fullest perfection through our own freedom.

So many principles of Kant are essential to life. At 60, I’ve lost my way. By studying Kant we focus upon principles that lead us to happiness. Get busy living.

“One of the great German philosophers, Immanuel Kant, even dropped the idea that you can see things as they are in themselves, because he had no way of knowing meditatively. He was a great mind — but the greater the mind, the greater the difficulty of seeing clearly. Your mind grabs every information that reaches to you, screens it, sorts out whatever is adjustable with your existing knowledge, allows it, and whatever is going to disturb your mind — anything new, unfamiliar, a stranger — it rejects.

It is said of Immanuel Kant, one of the greatest systematizers, that one girl proposed to him. In the first place it is bad that the girl should propose, it is always the boy who proposes. But the girl must have waited and waited and Kant wouldn’t propose; the idea never occurred to him. He was so much rooted in his head, the heart was denied. So the girl, feeling too much time had been lost, proposed.
Kant said, “I will think it over.” How can you think about love? Either it is there or not. It is not a question to be solved, it is a situation to respond to. Either your heart says yes or your heart says no and it is finished. What will you think? It is not a business proposal. But it was a business proposal to Kant. Too much head-orientation makes everything businesslike. So he thought, and he not only thought, he went to the library and concentrated on the books about love, marriage. Then he noted down in his notebook all that was in favor of marriage and all that was against. And he thought and thought and thought, and it is said that weighing the pros and cons, he decided in favor of marriage because a few points were more in favor than against. So it was a logical decision.
Then he went and knocked at the girl’s door, and the father said, “She is already married and a mother of three children. So much time passed… you come a little late.”
Time is needed for the mind. The mind is always late because time will be needed and the situation will be lost. And when you knock at the door, the girl has moved — she is already a mother of three children. And this is happening every moment. Remember, a situation is there, so act, don’t think, because if you think the situation will not wait for you. The girl will have moved. And when you are ready to respond there will be nothing to respond to. Kant was ready, but the mind takes time and situations are moving. Life is a flow, a flux, it is not static; otherwise the mind would have found the answer. If the girl had remained…. But the girl was getting old, she was missing life. She could not wait, she had to move, make a decision.
Life is not static. If life were static there would be no need for meditation. The mind would do. Then you could think, and whenever, after many lives, you knocked at the door, the girl would be waiting for you. But life is a flux, a movement. Every moment it is changing and becoming new. If you miss a moment, you have missed."

Amazing teachings and rally fantastic words of my favorite philosopher Kant

[jaysonp]

Thank you so much for this channel. You should consider making a paid course that goes into extreme depth. I would gladly pay.

[efrayimortega]

There is a subtle similarity between Kantian philosophy and Stoicism. Stoicism is just much easier to read and live by. Read Epictetus, Seneca or Marcus Aurelius...if you want to!

This is so brilliant, and I had forgotten how much Kant's philosophy has dictated how and why we conduct science in the way we do. I work in animal welfare science, and throughout this video I was reflecting on how myself, my colleagues and others relate to animals.

It's interesting to see the differences between my "hard-data driven" co-workers compared to known animal rights advocates in science, who often manipulate data and information to drive an agenda. Both of them are passionate about animals, but the former aims to make a difference based on truth and reason, to help influence policy and practically improve the field of animal care and conservation; the latter aims to skew reason and targets people's emotions to compel them to act. Sadly at the moment it's this that is driving a lot of policy decisions, and often leads to the detriment of animal welfare 😐.

The science is so important when it comes to understanding what is best practice for protecting animals. It doesn't excuse animal mistreatment, that's the whole point of having ethics committees in science today!

I'm sure Kant would have a few things to say about it if he were still around.

Interesting vid! Thanks for delivering it :)

By the way, keep teaching. Do not EVER stop! We can win this!

Freedom comes with responsibilities. No freedom is absolute. Freedom must have boundaries to make it meaningful.

Great commentary on Kant’s Philosophy!!

[debfrance]

In my perception, while I felt the 10 Life Lessons are constructive, the examples fell short (although they were expressed with kindness). But maybe I'm being overcritical in my expectations. Thank you for the effort put into this video, just the same. The message is useful and important for us human beings.

[nostalgia]

Excellent video. And besides Philochrony is the theory that describes the nature of time and demonstrates its existence. Time is magnitive: objective, Imperceptible and measurable.

[petezaslow]

I agree about everything except where truth must remain constant.
