1 7AAN2039 Kant I: Critique of Pure Reason Syllabus Academic year 2015/16 Basic information Credits: 20 Module Tutor: Dr Sacha Golob Office: 705, Philosophy Building Consultation time: 11:00 12:00 Wed Semester: First Lecture time and venue: TBC Module description Immanuel Kant is widely recognised as the most important philosopher since Aristotle. This course introduces students to the key themes of his epistemology and metaphysics, focussing on the Critique of Pure Reason. Topics include the relation between perception and concepts; the nature of space and time; the concepts of substance and causality; knowledge of the external world; the self and the unity of the thinking subject; human freedom, and its relation to the thesis of determinism, and the doctrine of transcendental idealism. All texts will be studied in translation. Learning outcomes A firm grasp of the philosophical content of the most important aspects of Kant s theoretical work. An understanding of both the historical background to Kant s work and its significance for contemporary debates. Skill in the careful analysis of language and argument as a means of exposition, as an instrument of refutation, and as a dialectical process of engaging with other philosophers Set Text Students must have access to a copy of the Critique of Pure Reason for the required reading for every lecture and seminar. There are several translations available. The Cambridge edition is the preferred version: Critique of Pure Reason (ed. and trans. Paul Guyer and Allen Wood: Cambridge University Press, 1999). Two alternative editions which are also fine: Critique of Pure Reason (trans. Norman Kemp Smith: Palgrave, 2007); Critique of Pure Reason (trans. Werner Pluhar: Hackett, 1997). Finally, if you are finding the text heavy going take a look at Bennett s simplified version: But please don t exclusively rely on/cite Bennett it leaves too much out. Assessment methods and deadlines Formative assessment: 1 x 2,000 3,000-word essay, due 1200 (Noon) Fri 4 th December Summative assessment: 1 x 4,000-word essay, due 1200 (Noon) Tue 19 th January 2015 Essay Questions This text raises a very broad range of issues, and there are a large number of possible questions set out below in order to allow students to come at it from multiple angles (contemporary metaphysics or mind,
2 early modernism etc). Some of these questions are quite broad, some quite focussed. If you are unsure which question to answer, the following recommended suggestions all deal with core topics widely discussed in the literature.. What was the nature of the influence of Hume or Leibniz upon Kant? Why did Kant want to establish the existence of synthetic a priori truths? Critically assess his reasoning. Evaluate critically Kant's best argument for transcendental idealism. 'The representations of space cannot, therefore, be empirically obtained from the relations of outer appearance' (Kant). Explain and discuss. Is Kant right to think that space and time are a priori forms of intuition? Is Kant's transcendental deduction of the categories successful? Is there any sound version of the argument of the Second Analogy? Is Kant's view that there are synthetic a priori truths ultimately indefensible? 'I have found it necessary to deny knowledge, in order to make room for faith' (KANT). Explain and discuss. Discuss Kant's 'refutation of idealism'. What, according to Kant, is Reason, and how does it differ from the Understanding? What are the problems which Kant identifies with rational psychology? How serious are they? 'Kant's distinction between appearances and things in themselves is fundamentally a distinction between two kinds of properties of things: relational and intrinsic.' Discuss. Do Kant's Antinomies demonstrate the truth of transcendental idealism? How convincing do you find Kant s theory of transcendental freedom General Readings Abbreviations show texts available through online access. These are listed by database - Oxford Scholarship Online (OSO), EBook Library (EBL), and Cambridge Companions Online (CCON) but all should now also be available direct through Library Search. If in doubt how to access any of this, the library staff can help. Some General Introductions Gardner, Kant and the Critique of Pure Reason (Routledge:1998)(EBL) Guyer, Kant (Routedge: 2006) (EBL) Some Useful Collections Bird, G (ed.), A Companion to Kant (Blackwell, 2006) (EBL) Guyer, P.

The following provides a one or two page summary of the meaning of each of the main terms: Caygill, H., A Kant Dictionary (Oxford: Blackwell, 1995). 2
