Subject Description | This subject is a study of Kant's explanation of and arguments for transcendental idealism in The Critique of Pure Reason. It examines the arguments that space, time and the categories, together with the transcendental unity of apperception, are the conditions of experience. How the conditions provide the basis for knowledge of the world will be discussed. In the process the role of imagination in experience will be considered. On completion of this subject students should have a detailed knowledge of the Critique, understand Kant's philosophy in relation to his predecessors, and demonstrate an ability to critically examine philosophical theses and arguments. |
