Excellent

For Kant's ethics, better to start with his book "Groundwork of the Metaphysics of Morals"

I would add reading Reinhold’s Letters on Kantian Philosophy as this was the gateway to the Critique through which most of those who were influenced by Kant first understood him. Reinhold simplified the concepts and even Kant conceded that Reinhold perfectly understood him. Probably more accessible than Prolegomena

You can also read a work of Deleuze that kinda of does the job for you. It explains the main points of Kant's thought in the limit of 100 pages. It's purely didactic, so it presents itself as a guide to Kant, not as commentary or something.

@@WeltgeistYT True.

An aspect that I like to point out is the fact that it took Kant a full decade to write down the Critique of pure reason. And still he felt the need to substantialy rewrite various sections for the second edition. When you pick up a work like this, you should be aware that it will be a demanding effort - you might compare it to the amateur runner who has set the goal to run a marathon. It will require some dedication, some renouncing and the motivation to keep it up with it when you start doubting the use of what you're doing. Another advice I'd give is to pay some attention to the structure of the work, its architecture so to speak - or as the French put it: l'économie du livre. While that is probably useful for almost every work of philosophy, I think it's a especialy true for subtantial and complex works as the Critique. Understanding what elements Kant covers and how they relate to each other in his argumentation will help you keep on track during the sustained effort.

Very useful and to the point. Thanksss

Fair enough, but I'd suggest Hume and Leibniz even more than Hume and Descartes as proximate background figures for approaching Kant's project. A little Descartes never hurt anyone, though. Oh, wait...

Why does your Kant sound so much like something else. God I cant stop laughing. In the video of Beyond Good and Evil I thought Neitzsche actually called him that. I was laughing and still am 😂😂😂😂

Wes Cecil, who did a translation of Thus Spoke Zarathustra, is of the opinion that Kant (and Heidegger) are better in translation than the original German because the translator attempts to make the ideas more digestible.
