Kant's philosophy - What is the intellect?
from Kant's Philosophy · host The Voice of Reason
The intellect Kant describes as the faculty of rules or of concepts in the Critique of Pure Reason: Only through it do we understand our perceptions and does sensuality receive a meaning. Quote: 0:08 The intellect is the faculty of concepts: 0:27 Concepts are not the same as words: 19:57 Whoever wants clear thinking, should work on clear concepts: 26:30 Often people misunderstand each other because they have different concepts, even while using the same words: 37:47 Everybody is right according to his own concepts: 47:07 Most people live in a fantasy world, instead of in reality: 57:20 Concepts don't just reflect reality, rather they make it and are developed: 1:18:30 The work of the concept: 1:40:07 Thanks: 1:50:25 On the role of the intellect as the faculty of rules and of concepts one should best read the respective passages in Kant's Anthropology from a pragmatic point of view: http://korpora.org/kant/aa07/196.html and in his lectures on anthropology: https://archive.org/details/kantsgesammeltes0000kant_a3n3 | https://archive.org/details/kantsgesammeltes0000kant_j8c0, as well as, on the concepts specifically, Kant's lectures on logic: https://archive.org/details/kantsgesammeltes241imma | https://archive.org/details/kantsgesammeltes242imma (English translations of those exist, but I could not find any free versions online.)
