Description:

Kant's Critique of Pure Reason Fall 2008. Three credits. Yirmiyahu Yovel This course is a text seminar based on Kant's first Critique. We start by reconstructing Kant's meta-philosophy and his stated project (which many overlook today) of creating a valid "metaphysics as science." Against thisbackground, we read the chapters of the Critique of Pure Reason in detail, at least up to the end of the Transcendental Analytic, and try to see what made Kant think that it realized the program. This will take us to the last weeks of the semester, in which the Transcendental Dialectic will be treated in a more generalized way. Central themes along the road will be the various aspects of the Copernican revolution and the relation between rationality and finitude.
