Was ist und was sein soll

The articles on life and work of Immanuel Kant are expressions of acontemporary,critical understanding of Kant. They give the reader courage to enter into a fruitful debate with the old man from Koenigsberg, from which one cannot return without philosophical profit. Important aspects of Kant s complete work are discussed in order to illustrate the contemporary relevance of the three famous Kantian questions (What can I know? What should I do? What can I hope for?). The essays are weighted towards the practical philosophy, which Kant himself described as the keystone of his complete philosophical system.
