Kant books
I am interested in Kant’s books,
Can the rabbi recommend books, areas of interest, and advice on the order of reading (I’m torn between critical thinking and judgment)?
thanks

The Critique of Pure Reason is his central and most important book. But reading it is a very difficult task. Most Kant experts, in my opinion, have not read it in its entirety (and neither have I). It is better to start by reading about Kant (Bergman’s book and other books), and then, if you wish, you can focus on what interests you.

Is the power of the judiciary more readable?

Rabbi:
Yes. But it’s not easy either and I’m not sure it’s worth the effort.

lodrikan:
Much more difficult than ‘basic premise’?
—————————-
Rabbi:
More difficult. But instead of all this litigation, start and see. The books are accessible and you can read and see what is difficult and what is worth it. I offered you what I thought, but of course everyone has their own taste and interests.

lodrikan:
Sorry for the bother, just one last question that I couldn’t find an answer to.
Are the books dependent on each other (i.e., if I haven’t read the Critique of Reason, will I understand the Critique of Judgment)?
—————————-
Rabbi:
There is no important dependency (there are connections). Understanding this does not depend on reading this.
