Kant's philosophy - Kant's scientific method: Architectonic

The methods of a philosopher are, despite often being overlooked, of great importance for understanding his thoughts, which after all he arrived at only through those methods. Die architectonic method is described by Kant as the art of systems. And since according to him science is nothing but systematic cognition (https://youtu.be/5TmzPA8_qNE?si=ysx2fHXcjTzTpU9L), the architectonic is the method to create a science. As the masons and carpenters should build a house after the plan of an architect, so the scientists as technicians of reason should build their science after the plan of a philosopher as lawgiver of reason (https://youtu.be/YP2Dt6lILSA?si=MAu0cub-kBrJ3Gup). Kant himself is architectonic like hardly any other thinker, and can only be understood and also judged properly once one understands his architectonic. Quote: 0:00 The importance of looking at the methods of a philosopher: 0:12 Kant's methods: 8:21 The architectonic method: 8:51 The architectonic of a science needs an idea and is the task of the philosopher: 16:39 The role of the architectonic in Kant's philosophy: 34:05 The table of categories and the nature of man as keys to Kant's architectonic: 55:54 Thanks: 58:31 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. A brief explanation of what the architectonic is, as well as an overview of the architectonic of philosophical ciences Kant gives in the corresponding section of the doctrine of methods in the Critique of Pure Reason: https://www.gutenberg.org/files/4280/4280-h/4280-h.htm#chap106 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
