Extractions: The University of Adelaide Library eBooks Help Kant defined the Enlightenment, in the essay "Answering the Question: What is Enlightenment?", as an age shaped by the motto, "Dare to know". This involved thinking autonomously, free of the dictates of external authority. Kant's work served as a bridge between the Rationalist and Empiricist traditions of the 18th century. He had a decisive impact on the Romantic and German Idealist philosophies of the 19th century. His work has also been a starting point for many 20th century philosophers. These Kantian ideas have largely framed or influenced all subsequent philosophical discussion and analysis. The specifics of Kant's account generated immediate and lasting controversy. Nevertheless, his theses that the mind itself makes a constitutive contribution to its knowledge, which is therefore subject to limits that cannot be overcome, that morality is rooted in human freedom and acting autonomously is to act according to rational moral principles, and that philosophy involves self-critical activity, irrevocably reshaped philosophy.

Extractions: German philosopher who gave the name to the Age of Enlightenment ("Aufklarung" in German). He published his view of the universe in General History of Nature and Theory of the Heavens, 1755). In this work, he presented his nebular hypothesis of the formation of the solar system, proposed that the Milky Way was a lens-shaped collection of stars and one of many such "island universes," and suggested that tidal friction was slowing the rotation of the earth. In The Metaphysical Foundations of Natural Science, 1786), he presented his views on the unity of natural forces. He also divided the world into two portions: the nominal (real and intelligible) and phenomenal (world of appearances). He presented his comprehensive philosophical system in Kritik der reinen Vernunft (Critique of Pure Reason, 1781), in which he also stated his antimonies of reason, or limits to human understanding. These consisted of the existence of God, free will, atomistic or continuous nature of matter, and creation or eternity of the universe. In 1787), he divided the study of nature into two forms: Naturbeschreibung (description of nature) and Naturgeschichte (history of nature). In order for Naturlehre to be Naturwissenschaft, he stated, it must be grounded on a priori first principles and must contain mathematics. Therefore, in his eyes, the only real natural science was mechanics.

II Print this section Born in KÃ¶nigsberg (now Kaliningrad, Russia), April 22, 1724, Kant received his education at the Collegium Fredericianum and the University of KÃ¶nigsberg. At the college he studied chiefly the classics, and at the university he studied physics and mathematics. After his father died, he was compelled to halt his university career and earn his living as a private tutor. In 1755, aided by a friend, he resumed his studies and obtained his doctorate. Thereafter, for 15 years he taught at the university, lecturing first on science and mathematics, but gradually enlarging his field of concentration to cover almost all branches of philosophy.

Extractions: There's no way around it Kant is rough going. Here a list of terms you will encounter, to help you unpack some difficult (but ultimately very insightful) text. Will : that part of a person that reasons about and decides what to do (sometimes equated with practical reason). Because of the tie-in with reason, the activity of willing is constrained by the laws of logic. Hence if it is impossible for two things to both be true, one cannot will both. (You can at most wish for both). Duty : One's duty is what one morally ought to do. For Kant, it is not enough for one to simply act as duty demands, but (AND THIS IS CRITICAL) that one's motivation for doing one's duty is just because it is one's duty. (You do it because it's what you ought to do, and not because it's in your interest, or it promotes the general happiness, etc.) All rational creatures have the same moral duty to act as the categorical imperative instructs. (See CATEGORICAL IMPERATIVE). Principle of the Will : the principle upon which one acts in a given situation. (Equivalent expression: PRINCIPLE OF VOLITION).
Kant, Immanuel
Glossary of Religion and Philosophy Short Biography of immanuel kant.
http://atheism.about.com/library/glossary/general/bldef_kant.htm

Extractions: Immanuel Kant was a German philosopher who was responsible for much of what has developed in modern philosophy. His primary focus was to counter the skeptical arguments created by David Hume and thus provide a sounder basis for human knowledge. According to Kant, knowledge is possible because of the activity of the human mind. In essence, our minds impose form and structure on the information which our brains receive. Because it is we who cause our experiences to be coherent, it is possible for us to create synthetic, a priori judgments and these judgments allow for interesting forms of knowledge. However, such knowledge can only be applied to the "world as we know it." Thus, we can only have knowledge of things as we understand them, not as they are in an of themselves. This distinction between a thing "as we know it" and the "thing-in-itself" is crucial. One consequence of Kant's insistence that we can only have knowledge of those things which are part of our experiential world was that we could have no knowledge of God because, by definition, God is beyond experience. Nevertheless, he argued that we had to postulate the existence of God because, otherwise, it wasn't possible to make any sense out of science or morality.

I thought of the answers they typically give to that question when University of Michigan spokesperson Theresa A. Sullivan announced last week that the university would comply with Proposal 2, a successful state ballot initiative banning affirmative action programs that give preferential treatment to persons and groups on the basis of race, gender, color, ethnicity or national origin. On Nov. 8, one day after Proposal 2 was approved by 58 percent of Michigan voters, President Mary Sue Coleman expressed disappointment at the result and vowed to continue the battle by every means possible. The universityâs lawyers then requested that the force of the new proposal be stayed until the present admissions cycle was complete. But when a federal appeals court denied the request, the university bowed to the ruling while reserving its right to mount legal challenges to the new law.

Kant's "What Is Enlightenment"
finds that it can profit by treating men, who are now more than machines, in accord with their dignity. I. kant Konigsberg in Prussia, 30 September 1784.
http://www.english.upenn.edu/~mgamer/Etexts/kant.html

Extractions: What is Enlightenment? (1784) Enlightenment is man's emergence from his self-imposed immaturity. Immaturity is the inability to use one's understanding without guidance from another. This immaturity is self-imposed when its cause lies not in lack of understanding, but in lack of resolve and courage to use it without guidance from another. Sapere Aude ! [dare to know] "Have courage to use your own understanding!"that is the motto of enlightenment. Thus, it is difficult for any individual man to work himself out of the immaturity that has all but become his nature. He has even become fond of this state and for the time being is actually incapable of using his own understanding, for no one has ever allowed him to attempt it. Rules and formulas, those mechanical aids to the rational use, or rather misuse, of his natural gifts, are the shackles of a permanent immaturity. Whoever threw them off would still make only an uncertain leap over the smallest ditch, since he is unaccustomed to this kind of free movement. Consequently, only a few have succeeded, by cultivating their own minds, in freeing themselves from immaturity and pursuing a secure course. If it is now asked, "Do we presently live in an enlightened age?" the answer is, "No, but we do live in an age of enlightenment." As matters now stand, a great deal is still lacking in order for men as a whole to be, or even to put themselves into a position to be able without external guidance to apply understanding confidently to religious issues. But we do have clear indications that the way is now being opened for men to proceed freely in this direction and that the obstacles to general enlightenmentto their release from their self-imposed immaturityare gradually diminishing. In this regard, this age is the age of enlightenment, the century of Frederick.
