Kant's philosophy - What is philosophy?
from Kant's Philosophy · host The Voice of Reason
By philosophy according to the school concept Kant understands a kind of rational science. Philosophical science is different from mathematics in that it is rational cognition from concepts, while the latter is rational cognition from the construction of concepts in intuition. It is further divided into a formal and material science, the latter in turn being made up of theoretical and practical part. Quote: 0:08 Repetition: 0:32 1.

For this I point back to the reading recommendations from the last lecture. On logic you may read Kant's Logic: http://kant.korpora.org/Band9/001.html Since this was only published by his student Jäsche and is deficient, I rather recommend Kant's lextures on logic: https://archive.org/details/kantsgesammeltes241imma/page/n5/mode/2up | https://archive.org/details/kantsgesammeltes242imma/page/n7/mode/2up (English translations exist, but unfortunately I couldn't find them for free on the internet.) On the difference between theoretical and practical philosophy and on the concept of purposiveness I recommend reading the introduction to the Critique of the Power of Judgement. And even more so the First Introduction to the Critique of the Power of Judgement: https://monoskop.org/images/7/77/Kant_Immanuel_Critique_of_Judgment_1987.pdf 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
