Expanded Course Description
This course centers on Kant’s Critique of Pure Reason (the First Critique), one of the most influential texts in the history of Western philosophy. In the First Critique, Kant shows how knowledge is limited to objects of experience, and how these objects of experience are given through the human a priori intuitions of space and time and thought through a priori categories of reason. Hence our knowledge is limited only to things as they appear to us. Class time will consist mainly in a close reading of the text with intermittent discussions on central concepts or questions, and in-class exercises to foster reading comprehension, interpretation, and reflection on the course material.
