Quotes by Immanuel Kant 4

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.
  • Two things fill the mind with ever new and increasing wonder and awe --- the starry heavens above me and the moral law within me.

  • The death of dogma is the birth of morality.

  • The mere consciousness of my own existence proves the existence of objects in space outside me.

  • Intuition and concepts constitute . . . the elements of all our knowledge, so that neither concepts without an intuition in some way corresponding to them, nor intuition without concepts, can yield knowledge.

  • All thought must, directly or indirectly, by way of certain characters, relate ultimately to intuitions, and therefore, with us, to sensibility, because in no other way can an object be given to us.

  • Virtue and happiness together constitute the possession of the summum bonum in a person, and the distribution of happiness in exact proportion to morality (which is the worth of the person, and his worthiness to be happy) constitute the summum bonum of a possible world.
