PHIL 80.01 Kant's Critique of Pure Reason

A close study of this epoch-making work, which has set the agenda for many sub-fields of philosophy since its publication in 1781.  Kant observes that philosophy, in contrast to mathematics and natural science, cannot point to any results that are acknowledged by all able practitioners.  Thus, philosophy has made no progress.  Kant proposes a method and foundation for philosophy that will change that.

This advanced seminar is designed to be a culminating experience for majors in Philosophy, although properly qualified students in other disciplines may also be admitted.
