The search for God is dictated not from without but from a profound sense of one's own moral being and worthiness to be happy. The core of Immanuel Kant's argument remains relevant to the experience of ordinary men and women. He wished to strengthen, not undermine, belief in God and in the spiritual nature of humankind. This 1763 essay is imporrtant in understanding the development of Kant's thought. It exposed the flaw in the Cartesian argument that the existence of a perfect being could be deduced...

Enlightenment philosopher Immanuel Kant ranks with Plato, Aristotle, Hegel, and Nietzche as among the most influential figures in the history of thought; his work remains a cornerstone of serious philosophical inquiry. This volume gathers his key moral and political writings in a volume incisively crafted by esteemed philsopher Karl Friedrich. Perfect for the lay reader or student, it ranks with the best available one-volume introductions to Kant's thought.

One of the cornerstone books of Western philosophy, here is Kant's seminal treatise, where he seeks to define the nature of reason itself and builds his own unique system of philosophical thought with an approach known as transcendental idealism. He argues that human knowledge is limited by the capacity for perception.

Writing in 1982, four of the foremost theoreticians of the world economy set out their understanding of the long-term dynamics of global capitalism. Dismissing the still-existing Soviet Union as a "paper tiger", they focused instead on the contradictions of the capitalist world-economy and produced work that canvassed the key forces that have dominated the end of the twentieth and start of the twenty-first centuries.

Western intervention around the world has been justified by appeals to notions of civilization, development, and progress. But, Wallerstein argues, these concepts are not global but firmly rooted in European thought, and their primary function has been to provide justification for powerful states to impose their will against the weak.

Kant has adopted in this work the method which he thinks most suitable, proceeding analytically from common knowledge to the determination of its ultimate principle, and again descending synthetically from the examination of this principle and its sources to the common knowledge in which we find it employed. The division will, therefore, be as follows: First Section. Transition from the common rational knowledge of morality to the philosophical. Second Section. Transition from popular moral philosophy...

Considered one of the most profound, influential, and important works of philosophy, "Groundwork of the Metaphysic of Morals" introduces the famous Categorical Imperative and lays down a foundation for all of Immanuel Kant's writings. In it, Kant illuminates the basic concept that is central to his moral philosophy and, in fact, to the entire field of modern ethical thought: the Categorical Imperative, the supreme principle of morality, stating that all decisions should be made based on what is universally...

In this short, highly readable book, the master of world-systems theory provides a succinct anatomy of capitalism over the past five hundred years. Considering the way capitalism has changed and evolved over the centuries, and what has remained constant, he outlines its chief characteristics. In particular, he looks at the emergence and development of a world market, and of labor; in doing so, he argues that capitalism has brought about immiseration in the Global South. As long as they remain within...

Quick Overview by Immanuel NessIn recent years, New Yorkers have been surprised to see workers they had taken for granted—Mexicans in greengroceries, West African supermarket deliverymen and South Asian limousine drivers—striking, picketing, and seeking support for better working conditions. Suddenly, businesses in New York and the nation had changed and were now dependent upon low-paid immigrants to fill the entry-level jobs that few native-born Americans would take. Immigrants, Unions, and the...

Immanuel Kant was a philosopher, with a philosophy that seems singularly unlikely to encourage a philosopher to take history seriously. The intelligible world under universal moral law and the world of nature under universal causal law seem the upper and lower millstones of this philosophy, between which all life would be crushed out of history.
