Sample Book Insights:
#1 Immanuel Kant was a modern philosopher who was moved by duty. He was born in Königsberg in 1724, the fourth of nine children of a poor harness-maker. His life was unremarkable, and he spent it entirely governed by congenial routines.
#2 Kant entered the university at the age of 16 and graduated six years later. He was unable to secure an academic position, so he took work as a private tutor. It was not until the age of 31 that he obtained a post at the university, as private docent.
#3 Kant’s professorship was in metaphysics and logic, rather than mathematics or natural science. He spent his time teaching and writing about philosophy. His lectures were famous for their skilful method of asserting and defining metaphysical concepts.
#4 Kant’s life was highly disciplined. He would work until seven at his desk, dressed in nightcap and robe, changing back into these garments at once when he had returned from his morning lectures. He remained in his study until one, when he took his single meal of the day.
