CATEGORY: audio drama TITLE: Kant AUTHOR: Thomas de Quincey TRANSLATION: Cornelia Langendorf ADAPTION: Ute Scharfenberg DIRECTOR: Jörg Jannings MUSIC: Wolfgang Florey PRODUCTION: Deutschlandradio/Norddeutscher Rundfunk YEAR: 2001 RECORDING DATE: 2004-02-11 (Norddeutscher Rundfunk) DESCRIPTION: Immanuel Kant starb am 12. Februar 1804 im Alter von 79 Jahren in seiner Geburtsstadt Königsberg. Sein Wunsch, möglichst alt zu werden, war zu seinem Unglück in Erfüllung gegangen. Als Thomas de Quincey 20 Jahre später mit der Sichtung der Zeugnisse aus Kants letzten Tagen begann, stand er bereits dem Nachlass eines Unsterblichen gegenüber. Fasziniert von den Berichten des Kantschülers und Vertrauten Wasianski, der uneingeschränkten Verehrung, die dem siechen Philosophen durch seine Zeitgenosssen zuteil wurde, verfasste der opiumsüchtige de Quincey ein eigenständiges Prosakunstwerk, das den genialen Gelehrten ebenso wie den grillenhaft-pedantischen Preußen in seinem Kampf gegen den Verlust geistiger und körperlicher Kraft zeigt. Sogar Kants Schädel diente der Wissenschaft. Mit Vermessungen versuchte man hinter das Geheimnis des Schöpfers der "Kritik der reinen Vernunft" zu kommen.

Every episode plays from its archive, which this site does not copy; rights are as each archive states them. Nothing here is called public domain on this site's say-so. In the United States, sound recordings first fixed before 15 February 1972 have federal protection under the Music Modernization Act of 2018, for most until 2067 at the latest, so most American radio of the 1930s to the 1950s is not in the public domain there. Each set shows the licence, mark or statement its archive gives, and says whose it is. Horror, crime, war and westerns are for teenage and adult profiles, racist caricature for adults only, and children’s profiles hear what was made for children. More about these archives.
