Description:
I review some important vocab and historical context. In the next video, I will introduce the specifics of some of his arguments in the first section of the Critique (Transcendental Aesthetic). An “easy” way to understand Kant’s Project in the Critique of Pure Reason.
Recommended reading. I don’t recommend reading the primary source alone, even the most intelligent person will need a commentary/secondary source. I used this translation by Smith: http://amzn.to/1E7hqlP and this commentary by Routledge/Gardner: http://amzn.to/1E7hqlP Finally, the most lucid and concise general intro to kant is in Coppleston’s History of Philosophy here http://amzn.to/1E76u7o or, of course, Durant’s History of Philosophy here: http://amzn.to/1JkI6LI Coppleston’s History of Philosophy is still the most thorough, and Durant’s is a much shorter book…a pleasure to read… one of the first philosophy books I read in the 1980s.
