Imagination is a core aspect of being human. Our imagination allows us to fully experience ourselves in relation to the world and reality. Since the 17th century, however, imagination has been sidelined and dismissed as "make believe". Four centuries ago, a new way of knowing the world and ourselves emerged in the west and has gone on to dominate human life: science. Imagination has been marginalized - depicted as a way of escaping reality, rather than coming to grips with it - and its significance to our humanity has been downplayed.

Finally Understand the Philosopher Who Changed Everything Immanuel Kant rebuilt philosophy from the ground up. He redefined what we can know, what we ought to do, and what we may hope.

But Kant is notoriously difficult. His Critique of Pure Reason has defeated countless readers. His ethical writings demand precision most summaries don't provide. And his complete system—spanning epistemology, ...
