Quotes by Immanuel Kant 3

Immanuel Kant, 1724-1804. German idealist philosopher who argued that reason is the means by which the phenomena of experience are translated into understanding. His classic works include Critique of Pure Reason (1781) and Critique of Practical Reason (1788), in which he put forward his system of ethics based on the categorical imperative.
  • Morality is not properly the doctrine of how we may make ourselves happy, but how we may make ourselves worthy of happiness.

  • Christ has broght the kingdom of God nearer to earth; but he has been misunderstood; and in place of God's kingdom the kingdom of the priest has been established among us.

  • The function of the true state is to impose the minimum restrictions and safeguard the maximum liberties of the people, and it never regards a person as a thing.

  • Every man is to be respected as an absolute end in himself; and it is a crime against the dignity that belongs to him as a human being, to use him as a means for some external purpose.

  • All the interests of my reason, speculative as well as practical, combine in the three following questions: 1. What can I know? 2. What ought I to do? 3. What may I hope?

  • The human heart refuses to believe in a universe without a purpose.
