Immanuel Kant taught and wrote prolifically about physical geography yet never traveled further than forty miles from his home in Kvnigsberg. How appropriate it is then that in his philosophy he should deny that all knowledge was derived from experience. Kant's aim was to restore metaphysics. He insisted that all experience must conform to knowledge. According to Kant, space and time are subjective; along with various "categories," they help us to see the phenomena of the world-though never its true reality.

In Kant in 90 Minutes, Paul Strathern offers a concise, expert account of Kant's life and ideas and explains their influence on man's struggle to understand his existence in the world.

Would you recommend Kant in 90 Minutes to your friends? Why or why not?
Yes - I've listened to each book in the series about a major philosopher that is available on Audible. Strathern's books don't have the analytical depth found in Will Durant's "The Story of Philosophy" books, but he does a good job summarizing each philosopher's biography, major philosophical points, and criticisms. Additionally, Strathern's breadth is broader than Durant's in that he covers a greater number of philosophers. I believe that the time spent listening to these books has been well-spent.

My reviews for each book in the series about a philosopher are identical.

What about Robert Whitfield’s performance did you like?
Voice is clear, well-modulated, and easily understood, even at 1 1/2 speed.

Covers Kant the man and the thinker. Does not simply tell the facts but interprets the essence of the thing. Not a cheerleading session but lets us know Kant had his faults.

Lots of info in such a brief time

Where has this been all of my life and here I thought it was just me and I favored Schopenhauer.

Another concise , a bit snarky summation of this important philosopher. Read or listen to all of Paul Strathern’s “in 90 minutes. You will be the wiser and better educated for it.

This is one of Strathern's best attempts at distilling both the work and and life of a philosopher in a short space. (It is well worth listening to the entire series.) One wonders whether Strathern is sometimes too hung up on Freudian-style musings on the motivations of thinkers long dead, but in the end they can be fun if not taken too seriously. As usual, what can be gleaned in 90 minutes is only a start, and you will be disappointed if you expect these little books to do anything more than whet your appetite for the real thing.

An excellent first look at Kant

Short survey of the life, times, and ideas of Immanuel Kant. There are some dry, witty, ironic remarks along the way, which may be taken as either critical editorial comment or slight humor meant to sustain reader interest in both the difficult, intense, seriousness of the man and the equally difficult, challenging intricacies of his philosophy. Definitely a quick, sympathetic and enlightening "dip" into the subjed - not a survey, but in the spirit of the "90 Minutes" series. Well worth the time. Very good performance by the reader.

Brief, clear review of an inherently opaque topic

We’ll done. Blends philosophy and biography together in the correct proportion. Best 90 minutes I’ve listened to so far. Put together in a well organized and clear presentation.

Highly recommended. Interesting and clear

I found this recorded book very interesting. However, difficult to understand in one go. I will listen to this lecture several times to absorb the concepts.
