The concept of reason in Kant
Programma
This course will introduce some key themes of the Critique of Pure Reason and the Critique of the Power of Judgment, with particular emphasis on the concepts of reason, faculty, autonomy, knowledge and reflection. We will select relevant chapters and passages from these two works. Although lectures will be held by the instructor, students' active participation will be encouraged.
Obiettivi formativi
The course aims to provide students with the tools to navigate the difficulties of a careful and critical reading of the most relevant moments of transcendental philosophy, so as to gain awareness of the more widely spread simplifications of what one could call the standard reading of Kant.
