• GRS PH 613: Kant
  A single text constitutes the basis for this course - Kant's Critique of Pure Reason. Some of the great scholars of the past have devoted a lifetime to analyzing, explicating, and evaluating this work. We, alas, have only one semester. In this, the first of three Critiques, Kant introduced the idea of a critical self-examination of reason, and in the execution of this program he developed a unique new type of philosophy, called transcendental philosophy, which forever revolutionized philosophical throught. We shall examine the text carefully from beginning to end. Because Kant's thinking is enormously complex, intricate, and subtle, we shall make use of secondary sources and complement textual analysis by discussing helpful comments by some of today's finest Kant scholars.
