    Kant

    Vijftien filosofen over grondslagen en grenzen van de rede

    Met Immanuel Kant (1724-1804) bereikt de westerse filosofie een hoogtepunt en wordt ze de invloedrijke en solide discipline zoals we die vandaag kennen. In 'Kant. Vijftien filosofen over grondslagen en grenzen van de rede' laten academici uit Nederland en België hun licht schijnen op Kants tijdloze klassiekers op het vlak van het menselijke kenvermogen, de ethiek, de esthetica en het recht. Zij herinneren hierbij aan de beladen tijd waarin hij leefde en schreef en aan de pennen die Kant in beroering bracht. Het boek is een veelzijdige en toegankelijke interpretatie van het glasheldere denkwerk van een van de grootste filosofen ooit en brengt kanttekeningen aan bij zijn observaties alsook ten opzichte van de ideeën die in onze tijd over zijn werk de ronde doen.

  2. The Concept of Love in 17th and 18th Century Philosophy

    The Concept of Love in 17th and 18th Century Philosophy

    "Love is joy with the accompanying idea of an external cause." Spinoza's definition of love (Ethics Book 3, Prop. LIX) manifests a major paradigm shift achieved by seventeenth century Europe in which the emotions, formerly seen as normative "forces of nature," were embraced by the new science of the mind. We are determined to volition by causes. This shift has often been seen as a transition from a philosophy laden with implicit values and assumptions to a more scientific and value-free way of understanding human action. But is this rational approach really value-free? Today we incline to believe that values are inescapable, and that the descriptive-mechanical method implies its own set of values. Yet the assertion by Spinoza, Malebranche, Leibniz, and Enlightenment thinkers that love guides us to wisdom-and even that the love of a God who creates and maintains order and harmony in the world forms the core of ethical behaviour-still resonates powerfully with us. It is, evidently, an idea we are unwilling to relinquish. This collection of insightful essays emerged from two "ContactFora" organized within the framework of the research project Actuality of the Enlightenment: The Moral Science of Emotions, conducted under the auspices of Koninklijke Vlaamse Academie van Belgie voor Wetenschappen en Kunsten. It offers a range of important and fascinating perspectives on how the triumph of "reason" affected not only our scientific-philosophical understanding of the emotions and especially of love, but our everyday understanding as well.
