Kant's philosophy - Kant's methods of thinking: Skeptical method

from Kant's Philosophy · host The Voice of Reason

Kant’s sceptical method marks the beginning of his critical turn and his critique of reason sprang from it. It is about suspending one’s judgment until one has thoroughly looked at the pros and cons while making each side as strong as possible. Quote: 0:00 The methods of truth finding: 0:56 Suspending one’s judgment: 3:55 Making both sides strong: 18:59 Where to apply the sceptical method: 54:06 Thanks: 57:12 Kant has, like most philosophers, not written a proper methodological work. Remarks on the method can best be found in his Philosophical Encyclopedia: https://archive.org/details/kantsgesammeltes0000kant/page/n9/mode/2up (I am not aware of any English translation.) In his Logic: https://korpora.org/kant/aa09/001.html (English translations exist, but I couldn't find any for free on the internet.) And in the lectures on logic: https://archive.org/details/kantsgesammeltes241imma | https://archive.org/details/kantsgesammeltes242imma/page/n7/mode/2up (I am not aware of any English translation.) But also sprinkled throughout other, mostly theoretical works. The best advice I can give to those who are mostly interested in his methods however, is to not just demand a theory of method but to get to know the method through its application. The transcendental dialectic, especially in its antinomies, in the Critique of Pure Reason is the best example for the application of the sceptical method by Kant: https://www.gutenberg.org/files/4280/4280-h/4280-h.htm#chap73 Whoever wants to support my aufkläring work can do so via: https://ko-fi.com/jonathanivoloewer https://www.patreon.com/jonathanivoloewer https://www.paypal.com/donate/?hosted_button_id=VDDT7T7XHR77U Thumbnail: www.hotpot.ai
