More quotes by Immanuel Kant
Aristotle can be regarded as the father of logic. But his logic is too scholastic, full of subtleties, and fundamentally has not been of much value to the human understanding. It is a dialectic and an organon for the art of disputation.
Immanuel Kant
Apart from moral conduct, all that man thinks himself able to do in order to become acceptable to God is mere superstition and religious folly.
Immanuel Kant
Man desired concord but nature knows better what is good for his species she desires discord. Man wants to live easy and content but nature compels him to leave ease... and throw himself into roils and labors.
Immanuel Kant
Science is organized knowledge. Wisdom is organized life.
Immanuel Kant
Melancholy characterizes those with a superb sense of the sublime.
Immanuel Kant
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
An action, to have moral worth, must be done from duty.
Immanuel Kant
Even philosophers will praise war as ennobling mankind, forgetting the Greek who said: 'War is bad in that it begets more evil than it kills.'
Immanuel Kant
That Logic has advanced in this sure course, even from the earliest times, is apparent from the fact that, since Aristotle, it has been unable to advance a step, and thus to all appearance has reached its completion.
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
Nature, when left to universal laws, tends to produce regularity out of chaos.
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
Arrogance is, as it were, a solicitation on the part of one seeking honor for followers, whom he thinks he is entitled to treat with contempt.
Immanuel Kant
Ghost stories are always listened to and well received in private, but pitilessly disavowed in public. For my own part, ignorant as I am of the way in which the human spirit enters the world and the way in which he goes out of it, I dare not deny the truth of many such narratives.
Immanuel Kant
Happiness, though an indefinite concept, is the goal of all rational beings
Immanuel Kant
Parents usually educate their children merely in such a manner than however bad the world may be, they may adapt themselves to its present conditions. But they ought to give them an education so much better than this, that a better condition of things may thereby be brought about by the future.
Immanuel Kant
Perhaps a revolution can overthrow autocratic despotism and profiteering or power-grabbing oppression, but it can never truly reform a manner of thinking instead, new prejudices, just like the old ones they replace, will serve as a leash for the great unthinking mass.
Immanuel Kant
The possession of power inevitably spoils the free use of reason.
Immanuel Kant
Thrift is care and scruple in the spending of one's means. It is not a virtue and it requires neither skill nor talent.
Immanuel Kant
All appearances are real and negatio sophistical: All reality must be sensation.
Immanuel Kant
