Kant's philosophy - Life and development of Immanuel Kant

from Kant's Philosophy · host The Voice of Reason

Before I will speak about Kant's thinking in the upcoming lectures, I first want to give a frame for that and therefore say some words about his life. Private details however shall not be my focus as much as his intellectual development and an overview over his intellectual activities during the different periods of his life. Quote: 0:08 The role of the biography in the understanding of a phiosopher: 3:31 Kant's birth and environment: 8:12 Kant's family and parents: 15:39 The pietism of Kant's parents: 34:32 Kant's education: 54:30 Kant's years as a Hauslehrer: 1:00:12 Kant's academic career: 1:09:02 The critical turn in Kant's thinking in the 60s and 70s: 1:28:20 The development, spread and defense of the critical system in the 80s: 1:52:14 The conflict of faculties as the central topic of the first half of the 90s: 2:05:30 1. The conflict with the faculty of law: 2:08:14 2. The conflict with the faculty of theology: 2:11:40 The unfinished attempt to complete his life's work in the second half of the 90s: 2:23:39 Kant's age and death: 2:28:49 Thanks: 2:39:14 Kant himself scarcly said anything about his life in his writings. Contemporary sources are the descriptions of his life by his friends, students and acquaintances Borowski, Jachmann, Rink and Wasianski, out of which I mostly recommand: Reinhold Bernhard Jachmann: Immanuel Kant geschildert in Briefen an einen Freund: https://archive.org/details/bub_gb_mbIUAAAAQAAJ (I don't know of an English translation.)
