In this course we will examine some of the major metaphysical and epistemological themes of Kant’s Critique of Pure Reason. We will be focusing particularly on Kant’s views on the following topics: a priori knowledge and how it is possible, space and time, objectivity and experience, self-knowledge, and transcendental idealism and the contrast between appearances and things in themselves.
Several short papers and two longer papers will be required.
Students who wish to enroll in this course should already have taken at least two philosophy courses, and in particular, Philosophy 25B (History of Modern Philosophy: 17th&18th centuries), or the equivalent [detailed focus on the primary texts of at least four of the following philosophers: Locke, Berkeley, Hume, Descartes, Spinoza, Leibniz].
