One of the greatest philosophers of all time, Immanuel Kant changed the course of thinking about ourselves and our world. His works cover a wide reach of thought, although he is perhaps best known for his metaphysics and epistemology. Who the hell is Immanuel Kant? begins by finding out who this brilliant man really was as a person and how the people and events in his life shaped his thought, before taking a deep dive into three of his most important ideas. Focusing on his theories of knowledge, beauty and the categorical imperative, this book explains the notoriously difficult ideas of Kant in an accessible, engaging and jargon-free way.
