    agree In “Observations on the Feeling of the Beautiful and Sublime” section one by Immanuel Kant. Immanuel Kant begins with discussing the idea that feeling happy or sad does not come from the nature of external things but more of what a person’s ability to let things make them feel pleasure of pain.

    Christopher Rowley Modern Final on Kant 1. For Kant‚ it is of the greatest importance that one distinguishes a priori from a posteriori judgments‚ as well as synthetic from analytic judgments. A priori judgments involve absolute necessity and strict universality‚ i.e. they are valid without variation for all cognizant beings. A posteriori judgments‚ on the other hand‚ are empirical and as such are necessarily synthetic. In the case of synthetic claims‚ the predicate is not contained in the

    To be enlightened is to be free from all restraints that hold one back from understanding. It is the “state of perfect knowledge" in which one understands both the “relative” and “ultimate mode of existence” (Ricard 1). To be enlightened is to see the full picture‚ not just a certain field of vision. There are many different interpretations of what enlightenment is‚ and what the path to enlightenment is like. How does one examine the many different perceptions of enlightenment? Plato - a Greek philosopher

    mauryan empire and ruled his empire for decades‚ until he died in 261 BCE. It is very much argued if Asoka is ruthless or enlightened‚ but in my perspective Asoka is an intelligent enlightened ruler. The fact that Asoka only did what is right for his empire‚ thought everyone who did wrong should be forgiven‚ and gave rich gifts to the poor clearly proves that he was an enlightened ruler. To start off‚ Asoka did not want to hurt anyone he just wanted a strong and satisfied empire. When Asoka fought

    empiricism‚ and why both “experience and reason” are important for “…constructing our knowledge of the world” (Chaffee‚ 6.5‚ Immanuel Kant (1724-1804)). Kant wanted to bring together both the different thought schools of rationalism and empiricism because he believed people could not have one without the other; we can’t have reason without experience and vice versa.

    When I first read the essay by Immanel Kant‚ "What is Enlightenment?" I thought that Enlightenment meant becoming aware of things you were otherwise in the dark about. But‚ after reading Kant’s article a few times‚ I saw that he views enlightenment as "Man’s emergence from his self-imposed immaturity”. Kant discusses the nature of Enlightenment and how it can be taken to the overall public‚ he also says in his essay that “Enlightenment is man’s release from his self-incurred tutelage.” The

Good feelings and good intentions and actions can be interpreted in different ways; man can corrupt these things into evil...even though it still might be good in that man’s eyes
