"Marriage is the grave of love" is a long-standing proverb. As a philosopher, Kant has never been married in his life, but this does not mean that he has no opinion on marriage. On the contrary, he has strong personal views on marriage.
Kant has always lived a rigid life. He never married. He only eats one meal a day and devotes his life to philosophy. But that doesn't mean he doesn't know how to enjoy life. He has a rich spare time, such as playing cards, going to the opera or attending concerts. He invites friends to dinner every day to discuss some academic topics.
His love began with the Countess Kesselring. When he secretly loved this lady, it was her son's personal education. The countess is a very beautiful widow. In order to have a look at her, he goes to give lessons to the count's son on time every day. Later, the lady married another nobleman. Kant was so sad about it that he quit his job. After the failure of unrequited love, he began to devote himself to his beloved philosophical career and began to form his own view of marriage.
Kant knew long ago that the * * * and happiness brought by love are limited and will change with the passage of time. Finally, after cooling and deterioration, the trust between two people will be transformed into affection, and only in this way can the feelings between husband and wife last. Although this kind of love is exhausted after * * *, it is only family affection, but it is also ordinary and worth savoring.
Kant never married in his life. For this reason, his own statement is: "when I need a woman, I can't support her;" And when I can feed her, I don't need her anymore. "This famous saying also represents Kant's view of marriage.
Introduction to Kant
Immanuel Kant, philosopher Kant, was born on April 22nd, A.D. 1724. He is a famous German philosopher and the founder of German classical philosophy. His theory had a far-reaching influence on modern western philosophy, and also created other schools such as German idealism and Kantism.
Kant's father was a saddle maker, and Kant's father and mother were both devout believers in Protestantism. Devotees attach great importance to religious spirit and feelings, so Kant is deeply influenced by devout people in the spiritual world. After going to school, school education changed Kant's religious attitude, so his religious philosophy is actually a response to piety. 1740, Kant entered the university of konigsberg. Later, due to poor family circumstances, I didn't officially graduate until 1748. After graduation, Kant went to a small town near Konigsberg as a tutor. While studying, teaching, gradually out of Koenigsberg, more and more students.
1770, Kant obtained the position of professor of logic and metaphysics at the University of Konigsberg. After becoming a professor, Kant did not publish articles for ten years, but concentrated on his studies. 178 1 year, Kant published Critique of Pure Reason, which established Kant's immortal position in the history of philosophy.
Kant, known as the last major philosopher of the Enlightenment, is a representative figure of German ideological circles. Because he initiated Descartes' rationalism and Bacon's empiricism, Kant is regarded as one of the most influential western thinkers after Socrates, Plato and Aristotle. 1804 February, Kant died in Koenigsberg.
Kant's philosophical theory
A basic starting point of Kant's philosophical theory is that he believes that the rationality of transforming experience into knowledge is inherent in everyone, and we can't understand the world without innate categories. Kant's theory is a combination of British empiricism and European rationalism, which has a very far-reaching impact on overcoming idealism and romanticism.
The analytical proposition of Kant's philosophy in the framework is that the subject contains the predicate, and the comprehensive proposition is that the subject is not easy to expand the predicate. Analytic propositions are transcendental propositions, and comprehensive propositions are mostly posterior propositions, but there are transcendental comprehensive propositions, which proves the possibility of mathematics. Kant believes that these things can be deduced to the field of metaphysics, that is, there is such a harmonious concept in the object itself and the phenomenon world. The so-called concept of harmony is what he calls pure rationality and practical rationality in practice.
Kant's three major criticisms constitute his philosophical system, which are pure criticism, practical rational criticism and judgment criticism. The question to be answered by pure rational criticism is that since Plato, there has been no solution to metaphysical problems. Pure rational criticism studies how human beings know the outside world, and judgment criticism mainly answers what kind of hope we can have.
