Lectures on Kant's Political Philosophy

Kant Lectures present an organic integrity. The themes discussed are all closely interrelated: the question of what exactly gives meaning and value to human life; evaluation of life in terms of feelings of like and dislike; the hostility of contemplative people to the world of human relations; our lack of metaphysical truths and the need for critical thinking; defense of our ability to understand through common sense; the concept of human dignity; the nature of historical reflection; The tension between the idea of progress and the autonomy of the individual; the relationship between the universal and the particular, and finally, the saving power of judgment.”
Ronald Beiner

The lectures Hannah Arendt gave on Kant's political philosophy in 1970 contributed to the reconstruction of both Kant and Arendt's thought. Focusing on Kant's Critique of Judgment, Arendt based on this reasoning her own political
develops and completes his philosophy.

Arendt talks and discusses with Kant the meaning, possibilities and problems of politics, thought activity and people's existence by talking to each other. The explanatory comments of Ronald Beiner, who ensured that this work was published after Arendt's death, are complemented by the long foreword he wrote for the Turkish edition.
