More quotes by Immanuel Kant
Religion is too important a matter to its devotees to be a subject of ridicule. If they indulge in absurdities, they are to be pitied rather than ridiculed.
Immanuel Kant
Suicide is not abominable because God prohibits it God prohibits it because it is abominable.
Immanuel Kant
The sceptics, a kind of nomads, despising all settled culture of the land, broke up from time to time all civil society. Fortunately their number was small, and they could not prevent the old settlers from returning to cultivate the ground afresh, though without any fixed plan or agreement.
Immanuel Kant
Nothing is divine but what is agreeable to reason.
Immanuel Kant
He who has made great moral progress ceases to pray
Immanuel Kant
The sum total of all possible knowledge of God is not possible for a human being, not even through a true revelation. But it is one of the worthiest inquiries to see how far our reason can go in the knowledge of God.
Immanuel Kant
Freedom is the alone unoriginated birthright of man, and belongs to him by force of his humanity and is independence on the will and co-action of every other in so far as this consists with every other person's freedom.
Immanuel Kant
Philosophical knowledge is the knowledge gained by reason from concepts mathematical knowledge is the knowledge gained by reason from the construction of concepts.
Immanuel Kant
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
Feminine traits are called weaknesses. People joke about them fools ridicule them but reasonable persons see very well that those traits are just the tools for the management of men, and for the use of men for female designs.
Immanuel Kant
For how is it possible, says that acute man, that when a concept is given me, I can go beyond it and connect with it another which is not contained in it, in such a manner as if that latter necessarily belonged to the former?
Immanuel Kant
Act so that the maxim of your act could be made the principle of a universal law.
Immanuel Kant
From such crooked wood as that which man is made of, nothing straight can be fashioned.
Immanuel Kant
There will always be some people who think for themselves, even among the self-appointed guardians of the great mass who, after having thrown off the yoke of immaturity themselves, will spread about them the spirit of a reasonable estimate of their own value and of the need for every man to think for himself.
Immanuel Kant
[R]eason is... given to us as a practical faculty, that is, as one that influences the will.
Immanuel Kant
An action, to have moral worth, must be done from duty.
Immanuel Kant
Our intellect does not draw its laws from nature, but it imposes its laws upon nature.
Immanuel Kant
The history of the human race, viewed as a whole, may be regarded as the realization of a hidden plan of nature to bring about a political constitution, internally, and for this purpose, also externally perfect, as the only state in which all the capacities implanted by her in mankind can be fully developed.
Immanuel Kant
In the mere concept of one thing it cannot be found any character of its existence.
Immanuel Kant
It is often necessary to make a decision on the basis of knowledge sufficient for action but insufficient to satisfy the intellect.
Immanuel Kant
