Section Information for Spring 2019

Topic: Kant's Critique of Pure Reason

Kant’s Critique of Pure Reason marks both the culmination of early modern philosophy and the foundation of much that has come since. In this course we’ll be giving close attention to some of the most important sections of the Critique, as well as to relevant secondary literature.  In particular, we will look at a recent debate about whether, for Kant, our cognition has nonconceptual content—whether, that is, we can be aware of particulars that are not conceptually determined.

For students in the Ethics and Public Affairs concentration, this course can be used to fulfill the history of philosophy requirement; or you may use it as an elective.

For students in the Traditional and Contemporary Philosophy focus and students in the Philosophy and Cultural Theory concentration, this course can be used to fulfill the seminar requirement, the modern philosophy requirement, or both; or you may use it as an elective.
