Can I just dive into Kant's works? I have come to the point where I don't think I understand anything about the world around me anymore. I seek some answers about ethics and aesthetics. Can I just start reading Kant's second and third critique? I am working in pure mathematics and have had philosophy and logic lectures before but my general knowledge in philosophy is pretty bad outside of the greek classics.
Please help me out

Why don't those fuckin angels slap some demons? ffs, everyone's getting rich off the soul industry
Try Prolegomena to Any Future Metaphysics first.
>Can I?
No, you can't

I don't know if this is an answer to my question or if there's something wrong with my english (or both)

You're too dumb, don't even think you might manage with my Cunt.

fuck me I just got it

Thanks, it might be a good idea to start with something shorter than the critiques

Maybe you have some other recommendations for ethics and/or aesthetics? Not necessarily Kant
>>9041053
At least familiarize yourself with Descartes to Hume, then the Prolegomena, if you want to do it right.

I only did read the groundwork for the metaphysics of moral and it was understandable.
That's probably because it's Kant's "moral for dummies" book.
I guess you can start with that.
Dont even bother to read the third chapter though. Nobody understands that one.

thanks
Why wouldn't you read the first critique if you study pure mathematics?
>>9041053
Descartes, Leibniz, Newton, and Hume are all important in understanding Kant well. However Hume is really the only necessary prerequisite. I really wouldn't try to read any of Kant without reading Hume first. Prolegomena is a nice starting point for Kant.

I definitely should read it, it's just that I am looking for some answer about ethics at the moment.

Kantian ethics works are the place to be.
