Immanuel Kant (1724-1804)
Immanuel Kant’s Critique of Pure Reason (CPR) is arguably the single most brilliant, important, and difficult book in modern philosophy. Its main topic is the nature, scope, and limits of human cognition and reason; and its main conclusion is that necessary truth, a priori knowledge, and freedom of the will in a deterministic natural world are possible if and only if transcendental idealism is true. The purpose of this lecture course, created by Robert Hanna, is to give a close, critical reading of the central line of argument in the CPR all the way from the Preface to the Ideal of Pure Reason.
