    4 out of 5 stars Approaching comprehension with great praise.......2003-01-01

    It has been so long since the original German version of this biography of Kant was written by Ernst Cassirer in 1916 (and first published in 1918, due to "the delay inflicted by the war on the progress of the edition of the complete works," (p. 2) according to the Foreword by Ernst Cassirer dated August 14, 1918) that it might be considered quite proper that the recent biography of Kant by Manfred Kuehn deserves to be much more modern in its point of view. My review of Kuehn's book emphasized how modern Kant ought to be considered for someone who lived in his times. Kuehn also put a major emphasis on Kant's desire for perpetual peace, a topic which might have been considered questionable for anyone writing in German at the time when Cassirer was writing this book for use as a supplement to the study of Kant's complete works.

    I should admit that I have not attempted the study of Kant's work in the manner for which this book is meant to be a guide. I might even be considered too political to be offered a position on such a faculty, so I have no expectation of ever becoming a professional philosopher, and furthermore, I might even be so comical that I would dare to consider Cassirer and Kant as representative of philosophers in the way that Merry and Pippin were typical of hobbits in the movie cycle, "The Lord of the Rings." The set of 4 DVD disks covering the first movie, "The Fellowship of the Ring," allows easy access to specific points in the movie, and scene 44, "The Breaking of the Fellowship," on the second disk, shows the two hobbits (knowing that Frodo Baggins was the only important target) acting as decoys, crying, "Hey! Hey, you! Over here!" Logically, this follows scene 40, "The Fighting Uruk-hai," in which Saruman declares his creation, the Uruk-hai, a perfect creature for war, much as Prussia is described as a highly disciplined place during Kant's life in this book. Philosophically, Kant's writings, which reflect his use of thought processes, can be selected and their relevance to "The whole moral voice of the Enlightenment, as it lived in the purest and greatest spirits," (p. 83) are here demonstrated as logically as Pippin and Merry's exclamations, "It's working!" "I know it's working! Run!" could be considered a histrionic reflection of the admiration for tactics similar to the praise for Kant's philosophy which this book exhibits.

    This book also exhibits an eagerness to bring God into every discussion in a manner which has become much less popular as the experience of the godly has been tied detrimentally to the likes of Osama bin Laden in the last hundred years or so. My interest in the early part of the book was primarily in comparing the competing Cosmologies of that time. Kant's early work, UNIVERSAL NATURAL HISTORY AND THEORY OF THE HEAVENS (March 14, 1755), which was dedicated just three months before Kant became a doctor of philosophy on the strength of his treatise, DE IGNE (ON FIRE), was not well known in his time because "The publisher had gone bankrupt while the work was in press; his entire warehouse was sealed up, and therefore this book never came onto the market." (p. 40). In attempting to think beyond the laws of motion which had been established by Newton for a Kantian cosmogony which Kant derives from such laws, "The planetary world in which the sun, acting with its powerful attraction from the center of all the orbits," (p. 47) is considered the cause of the planetary system, and particularly accounting for "the `unanimity of the direction and positions of the planetary orbits'." (p. 49) Kant also uses this explanation "in order to think of it as in proportion to the power of the Infinite Being, it must have no limits at all." (p. 47). Newton could have come to the same conclusion about the origins of planetary motion "if instead of seeking the physical bases of the system of astronomical phenomena exclusively in its present state he had turned his gaze backwards to the past of the system, if he had pushed forward from the consideration of the systematic state of the universe to its systematic becoming." (p. 49).

    The big jolt in Kant's cosmology was caused by his attempt to comprehend a heavenly system of a different kind, described in Part 3 of the second chapter of this book. "The Critique of Dogmatic Metaphysics: DREAMS OF A SPIRIT-SEER," (pp. 77-92) on Kant becoming "aware of the marvelous tales surrounding the `visionary' Swedenborg, which led him to immerse himself deeper into Swedenborg's work, the ARCANA COELESTIA. We use this account here not to repeat it, but are content to make reference to it. Who will seriously believe that because he had bought the eight quarto volumes of Swedenborg's works, at a considerable outlay of trouble and expense, Kant would have decided to perform a literary analysis on the book?" (p. 79). Kant's book on Swedenborg "appeared anonymously" (p. 78) and he was determined that "I shall never become a fickle or fraudulent person, after having devoted the largest part of my life to studying how to despise those things that tend to corrupt one's honesty." [Kant to Mendelssohn, April 6, 1766] (p. 79). Swedenborg's ARCANA COELESTIA might still be considered a work in which the dreams of a religious writer were collected with more enthusiasm than anyone prior to Freud had shown for understanding his dreams, and Kant's problem stems in large part from Swedenborg's understanding of his dreams being considered an explanation of heavenly forces, or more often, of the conflicts between heavenly and hellish spirits. Cassirer is willing to venture "that the whole idea of the spiritual is due to habit and prejudice, rather than to exact scientific analysis." (p. 81). Lacking such habits, modern people can read this book for a philosophical guide to how Kant's thought went on from that point, or spend their time watching hobbits, with the 4 DVD disks that show how the "Lord of the Rings" movies were made, or make countless other choices. People who believe this book might spend a lot of time studying Kant, as the author certainly did.

    5 out of 5 stars What is Enlightenment?.......2000-07-20

    One of the mysteries of the rise of the modern world is the sudden appearance of the grand phase of German philosophy beginning with the work of Kant, as his thought suddenly flowered late in life with his precipitous Critique of Pure Reason. Like an echo reverberating across the ages, Kant's breakthrough both recovered and surpassed the height to which philosophy had reached in Plato. This thunderclap just at the takeoff of the revolutionary passage to a new era is the prelude to an entire new universe of thinking, and joins the world of science, the Enlightenment, with a world as ancient as the Upanishads and as futuristic as Quantum Mechanics. Cassirer's philosophical biography is one of the clearest and most cogent introductions to the Kant's life and work and is a classic in its own right.

    4 out of 5 stars A Rewarding Read.......1999-12-14

    Over the past few years, I had increasingly developed an interest in the Kantian system. I had approached several of Kant's most important works in order to gain an understanding of his thought, but I found that I often struggled to make clear sense of many of his ideas. Although I had obtained a basic knowledge of his philosophy and some lasting insights from these works, I found that Kant's method of presentation often presented some difficulties regarding a complete understanding of them.

    Ernst Cassirer's book provides the student of philosophy with an excellent elucidation of Kant's system of critical thought and both the characteristics of this philosopher's personality and the currents of thought that were prevalent during and preceding his lifetime that led him to develop the philosophic views for which he is well-known. Cassirer also amalgamates Kant's theoretical, ethical, and aesthetic aims into a whole system that reflects Kant's fundamental philosophical outlook. A great deal of material containing many subtle and frequently misconceived points is presented in a very clear, though well-detailed, way. Cassirer's discussion of the Critique of Judgment, a book that has long stupified many readers, is especially thought-provoking. The impression one receives of Cassirer's deep admiration is understandable given the astonishing intellectual depth and breadth of Kant's achievements This book is highly recommended for anyone seeking a more profound understanding of Kant's life and works.

              This book covers a lot of topics, but usually just gives general info that I could've found by typing the topic into any search engine. I have a few other books that I use much more often (what to expect the first year and baby's first year week by week).

              5 out of 5 stars Perfect for busy parents.......2005-09-21

              I can't imagine any topic in the first year that isn't covered in this big, fat book. I love that it is direct and to the point. I don't have to wade though lots of chatter to get what I need. If my baby has a fever it explains how to handle it without going into the history of fevers!

              Common issues are all covered as well as more unusual things, such as car seat crying, taking your baby to a restaurant, traveling with your baby, and dealing with unwanted advice. No matter your style, this book gives good information and is very, very easy to use with an ABC arrangement. Highly recommended!

              3 out of 5 stars Good info and well-written, but not comprehensive.......2005-09-12

              I enjoyed reading through this book and it has some good reference information that I will probably use, but overall I would not give it a high rating because for an "A-Z" type reference book it does not have that many topics. I do like the approach that the authors take to child care, but there are probably better books out there.

              3 out of 5 stars Some good tips, not enough specifics.......2005-01-12

              This book addresses a wide scope of topics, but rarely treats any of them with the amount of detail I'd like to see.

              Gentle Baby Care is an excellent companion book to The Baby Book by Dr. Sears. While Dr. Sears' book is organized by the age of your baby, Gentle Baby Care is organized alphabetically by topic. Both books will appeal to parents who have chosen to follow an attachment parenting style.

              Parents who are looking for other helpful first-year reference guides may also want to consider The Mother of All Baby Books by Ann Douglas; Baby 411 by Ari Brown and Denise Fields; The Happiest Baby on the Block by Dr. Karp; and The No Cry Sleep Solution, also by Elizabeth Pantley (author of Gentle Baby Care).

              This cookbook isn't intended to be the definitive book for Atkins dieters. It is a book suitalble for displaying, for giving; it is a delight to look at and touch.

              If you're looking for hundreds of facts on high protein dieting and enough recipes to keep you cooking into the next century, this book is not for you. If your needs are both esoteric and practical, this may be the best choice of all. I have given this book as a shower present. Once when I wasn't invited to the wedding but wanted to be part of that special day in some small way,I gave it as a wedding remembrance.

              I've been doing the low GI diet for almost 4 months and am down 25 pounds, so I'm a believer. The front section of this book gave some great information on the low GI lifestyle that I found very helpful. The book is also loaded with great pictures that really let you see what you are making. However, I was less impresses with the recipes themselves. Many of them were higher in calories than I would have liked and many revolved around bread, even if it is multi-grain. But the biggest downside for me - and why I'm going to return the book - is the nutritional information - or lack thereof - for each recipe. Fiber and sugar information is omitted as is the overall GI rating of the recipe. I'm going to stick with my "Good Carb Cookbook" which gives full nutritional information for each receipe as well as its GI level (very low, low, moderate). Most people on a low GI diet set limits for themselves, and this book should respect that.

              4 out of 5 stars Excellent resource book for veterinary students.......1999-01-16

              I highly recommend this book for all veterinary students due to its thoroughness and most of all because it is current (or as current as one can be in the field of oncology). It reads well and provides a great number of well thought out illustrations and pictures.Plus, it highlights the major systems and neoplasms there of and covers most of the protocols for each cancer.

              I make many scrapbooks thru out the year and this book will help me make a scrapbook of all the family reunions that we have every year

              4 out of 5 stars Great ideas but needed critique from MM.......2006-08-12

              I'm creating a Heritage album and found this book very useful for ideas; however, many of the submitted pages (from scrap-bookers)that they showed suffer from a lack of journaling and/or clarity, so it is hard to tell the stages of the family trees. I wish MM had critiqued some of the family trees to show how they could be improved so that future generations... and even the creator in a few decades!... could easily determine the line of descedants.

                            1 out of 5 stars Awful!.......2007-04-22

                            Although the basic developmental and health information is OK, a lot of the other information is seriously flawed. As another reviewer stated, the author says its acceptable to wean a baby at 9 months of age. She also recommends weaning a toddler from breastfeeding by going cold turkey--something La Leche League advises against. Apparently processed string cheese and bacon are considered healthy snack foods. Depending on your parenting philosophy this book may ruffle your feathers with her "cry it out" past the point of vomiting approach to getting your toddler to sleep. There are much better options out there for parenting guides.

                            excellent book with lots of info, some i never even thought i would find! as good as expected after reading her first book, baby love.

                            2 out of 5 stars Disappointed by bias.......2003-07-29

                            I found this book somewhat useful, in that it has a run down of development milestones which is what I was after in reading it, but overall disappointing.

                            The fact that Barker says it is fine to stop breastfeeding at 9 months if you want to, despite that fact that Australian, American and the World Health Organisation's standards all recommend breasfeeding until *at least* 12 months concerned me. While there are acceptable alternatives for those who cannot breastfeed for whatever reason, her 'expert' view that to stop at 9 months is 'fine' seems misleading.

                            Additionally, although she presents various options for managing issues such as night waking, it is clear where her bias lies (controlled crying) and she does not present any of the advantages of other systems.

                            Basically, this book presents itself as being balanced and giving you options, but in my opinion the 'balance' is very one sided.

                            I will not be purchasing or recommending this book.

                            5 out of 5 stars The Mighty Toddler: The Essential Guide to the Toddler Years.......2002-10-20

                            As a medical doctor and a mother of toddler twins I have found Robin Barker's book an excellent resource in the day to day issues of raising small children.

                            It is a comprehensive book covering major issues like sleeping, feeding and behaviour in very detailled terms. This proved particularly useful for me as through her advice I can now get two babies off to sleep with the minimum of fuss. What a lifesaver!

                            Robin Barker provides information using the best available medical evidence as well as drawing on her own substantial experience. The resulting information is medically up to date as well as sensitive to the needs of a variety of families and their toddlers.

                            The greatest asset of this book (as well as her other publications) is that Ms Barker never tells you what to do. Rather, she presents options, or a framework of how to deal with tricky situations. She acknowledges that you alone know your toddler the best and empowers you to make the right choice for you and your family. At last a book that respects you as a parent!

                            I unreservedly recommend "The Mighty Toddler" to any parent (and their mighty toddler) who is looking for helpful advice on how to survive (and even enjoy) the toddler years.

Born at the start of the First World War, into a fervently religious family, the author's youth was a struggle to achieve identity and independence. While both his personal world and the national political life were experiencing great turmoil, Jackson forced himself into an RAF career, this interspersed here and there by a touch of romance. The author tackles the uncertainties of wartime life with a philosophical and easy-going approach that must touch the reader. Despite the fact that his colleagues often did not come back from sorties, and he feared the same fate for himself, Jackson is unfailingly positive and optimistic in his analysis. The reader is left feeling that they have lived these years with the author and have triumphed against adversity, just as he has.
