Kant's Critique of Pure Reason I
Moural, Trnka
The seminar's topic is Kant's Critique of Pure Reason (1781), with a special attention devoted to the crucial passages of the transcendental analytics (the final part of the deduction, schematism, principles) and perhaps, if there is enough time, to the paralogisms. One of the aims of the seminar is to examine the feasibility and fruitfulness of the interpretation proposed by Jakub Trnka (Institute of Philosophy, Czech Academy of Sciences) in his recent dissertation.
The seminar is intended mainly for upper division undergraduate and graduate students. Less advanced students can attend if they dare to study some 5-10 pages of a difficult text per week. Reading capacity in German helps but is not required.
