A new translation of Immanuel Kant’s 1766 "Dreams of a Ghost-Seer Explained by Dreams of Metaphysics" in modern American English with the original German in the back.


This is Volume III in the Complete Works of Immanuel Kant from LP.


Kant’s 1766 “Träume eines Geistersehers, erläutert durch Träume der Metaphysik” is directed to the charlatan metaphysicians of his day, using Swedenborg's claims of spirit-visions as a central example. It is a cynical, scathing, and mocking criticism of Swedenborgian metaphysics, while simultaneously undermining the faulty Epistemology of Leibniz. Kant addresses “Mr. Schwedenberg” directly analyzes his works methodically. Carl Jung's philosophy is heavily influenced by German Transcendentalism, specifically this work as well, and continued Kant’s work of making the spiritual acceptable within a materialistic metaphysics. Kant and Hegel both articulate that the human psyche does not operate off of Presuppositional Rationalism, but Symbolism. Kant speaks of Archetypes guiding the pneumatic world. He is sketching out a response to the Aristotelian metaphysics of Hume while upholding the Scientific advances of the Enlightenment. He uses Occam’s Razor against Swedenborg, using reason to deconstruct his claims. But at the same time, he pushes back against a pure Newtonian mechanical, deterministic worldview: “For in the relations of cause and effect, of substance and action, philosophy serves at first to resolve the intricate phenomena and to bring such to simpler conceptions.” Schopenhauer wrote a much longer work modeled after this essay titled "Attempt on Spirit-Seeing and what is connected with it"

Авторы туралы

Immanuel Kant (1724-1804) was a German philosopher whose work established a new foundation for philosophy, particularly in the fields of epistemology and ethics, making him a pivotal figure of the Enlightenment. In his seminal work, Critique of Pure Reason, Kant introduced the concept of "transcendental idealism," arguing that human knowledge is shaped not only by sensory experience but also by the mind’s inherent structures. This "Copernican revolution" in philosophy shifted the focus to the conditions that make knowledge possible. In Critique of Practical Reason, Kant articulated the "categorical imperative," a moral principle that posits actions as ethical if they can be universalized as a law for all. His emphasis on reason, autonomy, and moral duty has had a lasting impact on ethics, political theory, and modern conceptions of individual freedom and responsibility. Kant’s ideas continue to influence contemporary philosophy, underpinning debates on rationality, morality, and the nature of human understanding.
