Overview

Where others merely observed and explained, Immanuel Kant sought to redefine our way of thinking, establishing the universal conditions that make knowledge, moral action, and hope possible. For him, philosophy was not the accumulation of abstract concepts but a critical investigation into the limits and potential of human reason. His concepts, such as the categorical imperative, human dignity, and cosmopolitan rights, transcend eras and continue to inspire contemporary debates on topics like human rights, artificial intelligence, and climate justice. Kant's works, including Critique of Pure Reason, Critique of Practical Reason, and Perpetual Peace, reveal a philosopher deeply concerned with moral responsibility and the quest for universality, while acknowledging the plurality of human experiences. Far from being detached from human realities, Kantian philosophy is deeply rooted in the major questions of his time-and ours. How can we reconcile freedom and determinism? How can we establish a universal ethics in a world marked by conflict? How can we move beyond particularisms to envision lasting peace?
