Don't waist your time

It might be better in the original german, I don't know, not the narrators fault.

one of the most important books ever written

This is a challenging but rewarding listen, there's an incredible amount of content to address but the depth of understanding of the human and social condition outweighs the work of engagement with this book.

the narration didn't work for me

What did you like best about The Critique of Practical Reason? What did you like least?

I couldn't get past the first few minutes- the reading is too fast, and for my taste, the voice too high and a touch nasal. To be fair, I haven't read Kant yet, so maybe I just need a slower pace for my own digestion- reading it myself I will probably re-read portions several times. I'm not especially dense though, and I thought this would do for a first go at absorbing it, but I had to turn it off. Disappointing.
