Immanuel Kant
Image
There can be no doubt that all our knowledge begins with experience.
Immanuel Kant
Image
Man relates to material things through direct insight rather than reason.
Immanuel Kant
Image
Two things awe me most, the starry sky above me and the moral law within me.
Immanuel Kant
Image
Every human being should always be treated as an end and never as a mere instrument.
Immanuel Kant
Image
Freedom is the alone unoriginated birthright of man, and belongs to him by force of his humanity.
Immanuel Kant
Image
Human freedom is realised in the adoption of humanity as an end in itself, for the one thing that no-one can be compelled to do by another is to adopt a particular end. - 'Metaphysical Principles of Virtue
Immanuel Kant
Image
Do the right thing because it is right.
Immanuel Kant
Image

Immanuel Kant
Image

Immanuel Kant
Image
The more we come in contact with animals and observe their behaviour, the more we love them, for we see how great is their care of the young.
Immanuel Kant
Image
cruelty to animals is contrary to man's duty to himself, because it deadens in him the feeling of sympathy for their sufferings, and thus a natural tendency that is very useful to morality in relation to other human beings is weakened.
Immanuel Kant
Image
The wish to talk to God is absurd. We cannot talk to one we cannot comprehend — and we cannot comprehend God we can only believe in Him.
Immanuel Kant
Image
The inscrutable wisdom through which we exist is not less worthy of veneration in respect to what it denies us than in respect to what it has granted.
Immanuel Kant
Image
Philosophy stands in need of a science which shall determine the possibility, principles, and extent of human knowledge à priori.
Immanuel Kant
Image
The only thing that is good without qualification is a good will.
Immanuel Kant
Image
We can judge the heart of a man by his treatment of animals.
Immanuel Kant
Image
In all judgements by which we describe anything as beautiful, we allow no one to be of another opinion.
Immanuel Kant
