I was reading that Kant was a "forefather" of sorts to the transcendental movement in America http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transcendentalism I think I'll enjoy reading his book very much!
I would also urge you to look into Deontological Ethics, which is the Duty based approach to ethics expressed by Kant, this is by no means the be all and end all of his works but is an extremely interesting aspect of it.

Another good proponent of Deontological Ethics is W.D Ross, he's defiantly worth looking into. An extremely good book for looking into the basics of Ethical Philosophy is Moral and Political Philosophy by Paul Smith. It's in alot of online E-book collections but it worth buying for sure. P Smith is a current lecturer at English Universities and a very nice guy.

I found all on Amazon - next to check library see if they have copies to save a few bucks :) I'll let you know what I think of them.

Boner -

Looks like a pretty cool movie - wondering if they will run in the states - not to familar with the cast of the movie?

If that movie is any shorter than 2 hours, it wont be doing his story any justice in my opinion.
That trailer looks awsome though, it must be said.

As a side note, I had to replace my copy just before Christmas ( Bloody dog!!) therfore the book is fresh in my memory ( you know I just had to re-read it, right :lol: )
Great linky Boner.
Endure
