Kant in 90 Minutes by Paul Strathern; In 90 Minutes; Unabridged MP3 Audio Book; Narrator Robert Whitfield

Immanuel Kant taught and wrote prolifically about physical geography, yet he never traveled further than forty miles from his home in Königsberg. How appropriate, then, that in his philosophy he should deny that all knowledge was derived from experience. Kant insisted that, in fact, all experience must conform to knowledge. Space and time are subjective; they help us to see the phenomena of the world, but 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. The book also includes selections from Kant’s work, a brief list of suggested readings for those who wish to delve deeper, and chronologies that place Kant within his own age and in the broader scheme of philosophy.

Paul Strathern earned a degree in philosophy at Trinity College, Dublin, and has lectured in philosophy and mathematics. The author of many nonfiction books and of articles for numerous publications, he has also written five novels and has won the Somerset Maugham Prize. He lives and writes in London.
