The last days of Emmanuel Kant, by: Thomas de Quincey

Was philosophy for "Kant" a way of thinking or a way of life, and a kind of daily behavior? That is the question that arises in the mind while reading the book "The Last Days of Emmanuel Kant," and it takes over the reader upon finishing it. Kant was strict in his life with the strictness of his philosophical system, sanctifying duty in his daily dealings, and making duty sought for its own sake in his theories on ethics and values. In this book, "Thomas de Quincey" traces Kant's breath as it rises to the sky with remarkable artistic skill. The scene of the dying is considered one of the harshest scenes in the book because, surprisingly, it was one of the most enjoyable scenes artistically. Has Greek philosophy, Kant's heritage, not spoken of "the pleasure of pain"? Kant's body was collapsing before the blows of mortality, and he suffered all the hardships of old age, then he moved in a majestic procession toward the resting place of mortality. However, his philosophical legacy continues to challenge mortality with competence and to defend its owner with stubborn stubbornness. It is a tragedy of the mortality of every human embodied in "Kant." Yet, despite his small body, "Kant" remains greater than life with his mind. Dr. Faisal Al-Shatti Number of pages: 79
