Kant's philosophy - What is reason?

The highest of the three human thinking faculties is reason, according to Kant. With its desire for complete unity and conclusion in thinking, it is what characterizes man und makes him rise above everyday concerns to scientific thinking. With it is also reason, with its ideas, which elevates us fully above the sensual world and lets us strive for the supersensual. Whether this desire can be fulfilled and the ideas of reason can have reality, that is the central question which Kant’s Critique of Pure Reason examines. Quote: 0:08 Most don’t know what reason is: 0:29 Reason is a higher intellect: 4:35 Formaly reason is the faculty of conclusions: 7:34 Reason is the faculty of principles and thereby of justification: 23:01 Our world now is still made up in completely irrational ways: 44:13 Reason asks for the reason of things: 1:01:59 Reasons develops last in life: 1:05:33 Reason distinguishes man most clearly from animals: 1:16:10 The disposition for reason shows itself in small children already, but it is usually suppressed instead of cultivated: 1:20:08 The reasonableness of a person shows in the degree of his consistency: 1:38:21 Reason is the faculty of ideas: 1:47:44 Ideals: 2:05:50 Chimeras: 2:12:40 Kant’s problem: Without viewing, the reality of our ideas can’t be proven: 2:31:49 Thanks: 2:45:19 The thinking faculty according to Kant: https://jonathanivoloewer.de/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/faculty-of-thinking-according-to-Kant.jpg On reason as a faculty of cognition Kant talks in the respective part of the transcendental dialectic in the Critique of Pure Reason: https://www.gutenberg.org/files/4280/4280-h/4280-h.htm Many important remarks and comparisons with the other two thinking faculties can also be found in Kant’s handwritten estate on metaphysics: https://korpora.org/kant/aa17/ | https://korpora.org/kant/aa18/ (I could not find any free translations online) and on anthropology: https://korpora.org/kant/aa15/ (I could not find any free translations online).
