Introducing Kant - A Graphic Guide

Christopher Kul-Want

Summary

Immanuel Kant laid the foundations of modern Western thought. Every subsequent major philosopher owes a profound debt to Kant's attempts to delimit human reason as an appropriate object of philosophical enquiry. And yet, Kant's relentless systematic formalism made him a controversial figure in the history of the philosophy that he helped to shape.
Introducing Kant focuses on the three critiques of Pure Reason, Practical Reason and Judgement. It describes Kant's main formal concepts: the relation of mind to sensory experience, the question of freedom and the law and, above all, the revaluation of metaphysics. Kant emerges as a diehard rationalist yet also a Romantic, deeply committed to the power of the sublime to transform experience. The illustrated guide explores the paradoxical nature of the pre-eminent philosopher of the Enlightenment, his ideas and explains the reasons for his undiminished importance in contemporary philosophical debates.

Louie´s Super Adventure - A...

Chris Baldebo

LOUIE! YOU HAVE TO GET YOUR BROTHER. SOMEONE IS BREAKING ALL THE GAMES IN THE ARCADE!
Louie leaped up from his chair when he saw the desperate text from his non-Superhero friend Elliot and immediately turned to his Superhero brother Charlie for help:
“Charlie, you have to get down to the arcade right now! Someone is breaking all the machines. None of us will be able to play this weekend for Elliot's birthday!"
Charlie shrugged. “No one cares about that. Besides, I’m really tired. Good Superheroes always get their rest before fighting crime. Someone else will take care of it”.
Louie was shocked at his brother's words as they kept echoing in his mind: SOMEONE ELSE WILL TAKE CARE OF IT...
WHO is going to take care of it? All the other Superheroes at school are too lazy to do anything about it!
If his brother wasn't going to stand up against evil, and neither were any of the other Superheroes, he could as well become a hero and save the arcade and Elliot´s birthday... Right?
Follow Louie, an ordinary boy, on his brave journey as he struggles to become a real hero and fight evil and restore justice. In this heart-warming, fun, and heroic adventure, you will learn that believing in yourself and helping others are much more important than having real super powers.
