The book has an active table of contents for easy access to each chapter.

Immanuel Kant was a great philosopher and one of the founders of the modern system of philosophy. He is in the row with the greatest thinkers as Aristotle, Isaac Newton, John Locke, David Hume, Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz, and John Stuart Mill. Their thoughts had strong influence on building the foundation of the United States and its endeavor of open society.

Kant was familiar with Hume’s ideas and in 1766 he published Dreams of a Spirit-Seer that adopted Hume’s empiricist standpoint almost completely. In the book, Kant wrote a scathing attack on Swedenborg, which did much to damage Swedenborg’s reputation in academic circles.  However, this work did not represent Kant’s true assessment of Swedenborg.  Later scholars have noted Swedenborg’s influence on Kant’s own metaphysics.

Kant’s work produced great influence on modern philosophy and logic. His view became widely recognised as the foremost philosophical voice and his influence has been felt in nearly every field of the humanities and social sciences.

This book is one of the most important ones about philosophy and sprit by Immanuel Kant, one of the greatest thinkers of modern philosophy on the planet.
