The Philosophy of Immanuel Kant by Alexander Dunlop Lindsay audiobook.

Genre: philosophy

Alexander Dunlop Lindsay's The Philosophy of Immanuel Kant is a brisk, clarifying guide to the thinker who redrew the map of modern philosophy. Writing for readers who have heard of Kant but find the Critique of Pure Reason intimidating, Lindsay introduces Kant in his historical moment: an outwardly quiet life set against an age of revolution in politics, science, and ideas. From there, the book follows Kant's central project of criticism - an inquiry into what human reason can legitimately claim, and where it must admit its limits. Lindsay walks the listener through the problems that drove Kant: how objective knowledge is possible if experience is always filtered through the mind; why certain truths seem necessary and universal; and how metaphysics can be disciplined rather than abandoned. Along the way, he sketches the core tools of Kant's system, including the shaping role of space and time, the mind's active ordering of experience, and the tension between the world as we know it and the deeper reality we seek. The discussion then turns to practical philosophy, where Kant's demand for moral autonomy and a universal law of duty challenges comfortable ethics and forces a confrontation between freedom, responsibility, and the claims of reason.
