Kant's philosophy - What and how should one read?
from Kant's Philosophy · host The Voice of Reason
Kant gives various pieces of advice, both on what to pick for reading and on how to read a book. In a time which is lost and not capable of telling the good from the bad, and in which reading as an art is taught almost nowhere and mastered by almost no one, such pieces of advice are more important than ever. Quote: : 0:08 Introduction: 0:51 What one should read: 4:50 How one should read: - Changing what you read: 20:56 - A scholarly work should be judged by the intellect, not by sensuality: 24:45 - Always take something away from reading: 28:07 - Sceptical, critical and most of all sympathetic reading and understanding the author better than he understood himself: 28:49 - Most of all understanding the idea of an author: 51:54 Thanks: 1:07:20 Kant's advice on reading can be found scattered throughout his work. Mostly one can find it in his lecture on Philosophical Encyclopedia: https://archive.org/details/kantsgesammeltes0000kant/page/n9/mode/2up (I don't know of any English translation.) and his lectures on Logic: https://archive.org/details/kantsgesammeltes241imma | https://archive.org/details/kantsgesammeltes242imma/page/n7/mode/2up (I don't know of any English translation.) and in his handwritten estate on Logic: http://korpora.org/kant/aa16/ (I don't know of any English translation.) The ending of his On a discovery whereby any new critique of pure reason is to be made superfluous by an older one: http://korpora.org/kant/aa08/247.html (I don't know of any English translation.) and the appendix to the first section of his Conflict of Faculties: http://korpora.org/kant/aa07/036.html (I don't know of any English translation.) also give some insight and a concept of how he read texts like the writings of Leibniz or the Bible.
