In this video Mark Manson explores the moral philosophy of Immanuel Kant.
Immanuel Kant (22 April 1724 – 12 February 1804) was a German philosopher and one of the central Enlightenment thinkers. Born in Königsberg, Kant's comprehensive and systematic works in epistemology, metaphysics, ethics, and aesthetics have made him one of the most influential and controversial figures in modern Western philosophy, being called the "father of modern ethics", "father of modern aesthetics" and, by bringing together rationalism and empiricism, the "father of modern philosophy".

"I would love to come out and party tonight guys, but I Kant" 😎

“Instead of grabbing his crotch , Kant made his argument with brutal rationality” 🤣 best line ever 😂
-
"Treat humanity as ends and not means." Is precisely the kind of thing I'd try to get everyone else to believe.
-
Wow. You explained Kant's rule so simply a kindergartner could grasp it Well done. EXTREMELY well done
-
evil begins when you start treating people like things instead of people
-
I agree with Kant. Im turning 38 this year, and after living a life pretty much exactly mirroring Kant's up to now, I have actively decided to stop chasing the glamourous things, and start chasing the meaning behind my actions. Everything now must have a purpose, and a meaning.

I'm 43 and have been trying my best at self-improvement in the last 6 months. This video really makes me feel like I'm doing the right thing. I've also recently had a theory that everyone is just the same person inside a body with extremely different experiences. Treat people how you would want to be treated. I think the best thing you can do is help someone else self-improve by doing it yourself and showing everyone what is possible.

But then Nietzsche came along and said "You do you, but frankly… the universe does not give a single flying f@©k about you personally, or humanity as a whole. So you and your consciousness do not owe it anything. But, again, you do you."

Guys i feel so much relief when he said that no one would make a sustainable routine until the midle age, im 21 years old and im making pressure on myself to be thé best version that i Can be. Kant IS truely Amazing

Each person must never be treated only as a means to some other end, but must also be treated as an end themselves. Don't allow yourself to be treated as a means. Do your best because anything less is to treat ourselves as a means rather than an end. Are you maximizing your potential? Or are you treating your mind and your attention as a mere pleasure receptacle?

Whoever did the illustrations, I greatly appreciate the visualization while learning.
-
The quandary that plagues man is the overwhelming desire to improve ones lot in life often requires canceling others quality of life.
-
"Something to hope for" seems to be the only thing keeping me alive
-
I tried to decipher the thumbnail for about 2 minutes before giving up and watching the video.
-
I grew up thinking something is wrong with my brain, but turns out I'm just a philosopher with an exuberance for understanding what is and what can be. So I have embraced my way of thinking. Immanuel and I would have been great friends.

"Treat others as you would want to be treated, and don't make exceptions"
-
Kant also believed we had an absolute duty to always tell the truth under any and all circumstances, without exception.
-
All seriousness please make more content on Philosophers, Ethics in school was never taught like this
-
"Do unto others as you would have them do to you" is the Golden Rule for a reason. Everyone is the Main Character in your story.

This is truly amazing. I have tried and searched for the last 10 years for a deeper understanding of life, at least for myself. I have never heard about Kant or at least I don't remember but I knew, from all the psychology videos I watched, I needed to work on myself first. All my hard work understanding myself and others, learning to communicate and being strong enough to open up, finally paying off. It is unbelievably hard to improve myself, and standing back up doesn't matter how often I thought "I keep trying, and it's changing nothing". It is not about doing everything perfect, but at least try your best. If I help others and give them the tools I learned, they will also make a positive change. Now I see the ripples from my positive feedback and being open, it's just the start. I never before felt so happy and proud. The internet is an incredible resource. I could write so much more. I never thought there would be a video that captured my belief system so well. The golden rule always comes back to my mind, and I think the Kant's one rule of life fits even better. Thank you for this video, I appreciate it a lot.
