PHIL6226 · Philosophy
Morrissey College of Arts & Sciences
The course covers two fundamental aspects of Kant's critical philosophy. The first is the architectonic of Kant's system of transcendental philosophy, which includes not only the three Critiques but also his metaphysics of nature and his metaphysics of morals. The second aspect concerns Kant's conception of the history of pure reason and the role of his critical philosophy in this history. These analyses will highlight a tension within Kant's thought between the claim to realize definitive systems and the critique that implies overcoming any historically given system.
