Channel: Philosophy Overdose
Duration: 41:50
Description: Professor Dan Robinson gives the seventh lecture in this series on Kant’s Critique of Pure Reason. Kant argues that: “The synthetic unity of consciousness is an objective condition of all knowledge. It is not merely a condition that I myself require in knowing an object, but is a condition under which every intuition must stand in order to become an object for me”. It remains a matter of controversy as to just what the central project of the Critique is, but surely one objective is to establish the character and range of objective knowledge in light of the limits of sense and reason. The lectures in this series are intended to clarify the major claims advanced by Kant in this connection, and to test the arguments he adduces in their support. This series of talks was given at Oxford.
