Hume and Kant – On Cause and Effect Compare and discuss the concept of causation as it appears in the philosophy of David Hume and Immanuel Kant. “Der ønskes en sammenligning af Hume og Kants analyse af årsagsbegrebet.” Units: 16.548 Introduction: This assignment has the goal of explaining and relating the concept of cause and effect as found in the philosophy of Hume and Kant. Causation is a vital concept to the human understanding of reality. Whether we will it or not it is as good as impossible to imagine the world without some notion of cause and effect. It is therefore not surprising that the grounding for this notion has been the subject of heavy debate.

Alma Aguilar PolSci 101 2/28/13 Erich Honecker Personal Background “The Wall will remain so long as the conditions that led to its erection are not changed. It will be standing even in 50 and even in 100 years.” (Biography 5) A powerful and provoking quote by famed politician Erich Honecker of the German Democratic Republic, a strong, feared albeit quiet man. Honecker was born in August 25, 1912 in Neunkirchen in the Saar region during the former German Empire (Harrap 1). His parents were William Honecker and Caroline Catharina Weidenhof, with a working class background in the mines of industrialized Germany (Harrap 1). Honecker himself was married twice, the first time being with Edith Baumann, but when the marriage dissipated he remarried with Margot Feist Honecker, who interestingly enough, would work alongside Honecker in the GDR political scene as the Minister of Education for the GDR supervising the famed Educational system of the communist country (Britannica 4).
His ethical theories were presented in two works. The Foundations of the Metaphysics of Morals (1785) was Kant's "search for and establishment of the supreme principle of morality." In The Critique of Practical Reason (1787) Kant attempted to unify his account of practical reason. Kant was the major proponent in history of what is called deontological ethics. Deontology is the study of duty.
European penetration of the interior had begun decades earlier with the explorations of two German missionaries, Johannes Rebmann and Johann Ludwig Krapf, in 1847–49, and by the English explorer John Hanning Speke at Lake Victoria in 1858 (“Kenya – History”).The first Europeans to invade Kenya were German agents of the Church Missionary Society. At first, in the 1870s and 1880s, the British were not interested in Kenya, only other African countries. It wasn’t until the wake of the Berlin Conference in 1885 that they gained interest in the country. In 1886, the Germans made agreements with Britain that created a boundary between German territories in Tanganyika (part of present day Tanzania) and British territories in Kenya. The Imperial British East Africa Company was chartered in 1888 to administer Kenya, but the company soon found itself losing large amounts of money through its vain attempts to extend control over the interior (“History, British Colonization”).
Introduction In his “Groundwork of the Metaphysics of Morals” which was first published in 1785 Kant offers a variety of formulas all ranking among the postulated Categorical Imperative. In the second chapter he introduces the heavily-quoted Formula of the Universal Law: “act only in accordance with that maxim through which you can at the same time will that it become a universal law.” Kant continues with the Formula of the Law of Nature: “act as if the maxim of your action were to become by your will a universal law of nature.” Kant illustrates the two formulas by explaining some well-known examples he undertakes further reflections which soon lead him to the Formula of the End in Itself, sometimes called “Formula of Humanity”: “So act that you use humanity, whether in your own person or in the person of any other, always at the same time as an end, never merely as a means.” The latter is explored in application to the previous examples and some pages ahead he shapes what today is termed as the Formula of the Kingdom of Ends: “The concept of every rational being as one who must regard himself as giving universal law through all the maxims of his will, so as to appraise himself and his actions from this point of view, leads to a very fruitful concept dependent upon it, namely that of a kingdom of ends.” For the latter there is a more formula-like wording found which indicates/attests “that all maxims from one’s own lawgiving are to harmonize with a possible kingdom of ends as with a kingdom of nature.” One could identify even another Formula to be called the Formula of Autonomy which succeeds the latter and is established as follows: “to act only so that the will could regard itself as at the same time giving universal law through its maxim.” This essay on hand shall analyse to what extent some of these different formulas can be conceived as equivalent
Kant’s Aesthetics Immanuel Kant is an 18th century German philosopher whose work initated dramatic changes in the fields of epistemology, metaphysics, ethics, aesthetics, and teleology. Like many Enlightenment thinkers, he holds our mental faculty of reason in high esteem; he believes that it is our reason that invests the world we experience with structure. In his works on aesthetics and teleology, he argues that it is our faculty of judgment that enables us to have experience of beauty and grasp those experiences as part of an ordered, natural world with purpose. After the Introduction, each of the above sections commences with a summary. These will give the reader an idea of what topics are discussed in more detail in each section.
