# Immanuel Kant is one of the influential German philosophers of his time. He was born in the Prussian city of Königsberg, which is today's Kaliningrad located in present day Russia.
# He is known for his ideas in the fields of Epistemology, Ethics, Metaphysics and Logic.
# His 3 major works are : Critique of Pure Reason (German: Kritik der reinen Vernunft), in 1781 which was his Magnum Opus; Critique of Practical Reason (German: Kritik der praktischen Vernunft), in 1788 and Critique of Judgment (German: Kritik der Urteilskraft), in 1790.
# His philosophy on ethics (Kantian ethics) is considered central in Deontology. His major work, Groundwork of the Metaphysics of Morals (German: Grundlegung zur Metaphysik der Sitten), in 1785, explained his philosophy on morality.
# He believed himself to be a compromise between the Empricists and Rationalists of his time and thought that human understanding of Metaphyics can be enhanced or bettered through our study of Epistemology, which is the study of the nature of human knowledge.
# Kant's ideas are studied as Kantianism, and include ideas such as the Categorical imperative, Transcendental Idealism, Deontological Morality, Synthetic A Priori, Noumenon, Schema, Sapere Aude, Nebular hypothesis.
# Though not regarded as a Political Theorist, Kant used his ideas to expound some political views like the classical republican theory which was explained in his work Science of Right.
# The Kingdom of Ends is another thought experiment of Kant which he explained in his work Groundwork of the Metaphysics of Morals. His is a hypothetical kingdom based on his idea of morality taking shape from the Deontologically moralistic idea of the Categorical Imperative.
"That from which is everything that exists and from which it first becomes and into which it is rendered at last, its substance remaining under it, but transforming in qualities, that they say is the element and principle of things that are. …For it is necessary that there be some nature (φύσις), either one or more than one, from which become the other things of the object being saved..." Aristotle. Metaphysics. Originally Thales of Miletus

Euroluce 2023
My interest has been to show some scenarios I had the privilege to see and wanted to put together some objects, lights and modular structures I liked.
These are examples on how Euroluce showed different ways to use in a parsimonious way the electric light and, since the top keyword has been "Sustainability", I will be sustainable with my non-pro profile and spare up-loads from my yet reduced quota, putting 4 photos in the same diptych, a quatropod (or a quadriptych ?)
My compo is entitled "Addy hasn't the Silver, she has the quick Gold on! " and is dedicated to my dear Friend
Addy Van Rooij aka Adriënne.
No need for presentations, I believe almost all know her for her Art and her long lasting volunteer work as Admin of many groups.
I want to dedicate to Addy this work for celebrating a lil project we have in common and our friendship. May we be brightened and enlightened, cheers and blessings!
In this picture:
- left : a large knitted fabric in gold yarns can be wholly illuminated by just a micro light (the silhouhette is not another fabric but the beautiful shadow formed by the gold lighted by this micro light positioned to the left on a long thin black bar).
- Right: a huge ceiling of golden pepitas that I could fit in a small space but, instead, was supended on top of a very large hall. All the pepitas were illuminated by just low voltage deemed micro lights and able to refract and multiply the overall illumination. Sustainable, yes, because not in gold but, probably, made with just crumpled and tinted aluminum film.
And, among asters (or pepitas, lol) and a golden moon, a very strange mystic jewel, precious as handmade, like a little shrine treasuring some drops...of light... (See details by zooming in)
Finally the round and triangular lamp is a truly genial one: just one little light bulb surrounded by a system of mirrors can multiply the light reflection infinitely, lightening a large area by consuming almost nothing. (Spotted at the Exhibition "The Lights of Tomorrow").

Gondoliers on the Rio dei Barcaroli, Venice. Long exposure through moving crowd. Part of my Street Metaphysics project.
The town hall of Borgoricco, a small town north of Padua, was designed in the 80s by the architect Aldo Rossi. The dazzling light of a hot afternoon makes the geometric shapes of the building even more distinct, resulting in an almost metaphysical composition.

Entrance to the remains of this vast Basilica built by Justinian 1st over the tomb of St John. The fact that he was so important in Christian theology, and that his writings echo Greek metaphysics from the Ephesus philosopher Heracltus in Ch 1 of his Gospel, together with the size of the building are indications that it is the right location.

' [...] I'm living in a kind of daydream
I'm happy as a king
And foolish though it may seem
To me that's everything'

Linking beauty with love
Beauty will save the world
put a wise teacher in the mouth of an idiot
Beauty transcends aesthetics
Makes us dream and hope
The Self is healed
with the bandage of metaphysical rupture
Moving and connecting
The idea that creates the sculpture
Inseparable from flesh and spirit
Mediating between the two
A paradox that forms the basis
of our dignity and freedom
Yes, maybe I'm sabotaging myself
But beauty makes me tremble back
The spirit kneels before this height
The reasonable is bent by spells
An inner worship to preserve
the sublime vision of the beloved
It connects everything beautiful
under one name
Linking beauty with love

Metaphysics is a dark ocean without shores or lighthouse, strewn with many a philosophic wreck.
