What can we know? What should we do? What can we hope for? Best known for his Critique of Pure Reason, German thinker Immanuel Kant based his philosophy around these fundamental questions of human experience. His most intriguing writings are excerpted here, including his The Doctrine of Virtue, Critique of Practical Reason, The Moral Law, and other seminal works, each revealing the critical analysis that keeps Kant among the most influential of modern philosophers.

There is no such thing as a rational belief. In all the incidents of life we ought to preserve our scepticism. Humes ideas about the nature of certainty revolutionized Western philosophy. This radical mind discovered a missing step in 18th century thinking and brought to the for an observational awareness that restrains the minds tendency to go beyond actual experience. This fascinating introduction to Humes philosophy with extensive excerpts from his writings offers insights into his theories of causation, impression, innate ideas, personal identity, free choice, ethics, sympathy, justice, religion, and divine design.
