Kant

Marcus Willaschek

The Revolution of Thought

2024 marks the 300th anniversary of the birth of the most important philosopher of the modern era. What did Immanuel Kant do to deserve this title? In his new overview, leading international Kant expert Marcus Willaschek provides us with a fascinating and original answer to this question. Kant’s importance springs from the unique way in which he has revolutionised our understanding of knowledge and science, ethics and politics, art and nature, religion and history – in other words, given us a completely new understanding of our human point of view in the world.

Marcus Willaschek’s book traces Kant’s revolution of thought throughout his entire oeuvre. It gives wide-ranging insights into his philosophy, which is explained in a clear and concrete way and taken out of the realm of the abstract. In 30 short standalone chapters, Willaschek presents the various themes and aspects of Kant’s thought in a clear, trenchant and comprehensible way. His explanations are interwoven with biographical and historical sketches, painting a picture of Immanuel Kant as a man and a philosopher in the context of his time. At the same time, the current relevance – and sometimes also the problematic nature – of his revolutionary thought becomes clear.
