Kant's philosophy - What is the power of judgment?
from Kant's Philosophy · host The Voice of Reason
The power of judgment is the second of the three faculties of thinking examined by Kant. It has a central function, because it connects the intellect and reason, thinking and sensuality, the general and the particular with each other. It is also specifically their own judgment, for which there cannot be given any rule, for it then would no longer be one’s own judgment and because then one would need to make a judgment about the application of the rule, which unaufkläred people constantly try to run from. Quote: 0:08 The intellect: 0:52 The power of judgment is an applied intellect: 3:38 All error originates in wrong judgments: 12:05 The power of judgment can only develop over time throughout life: 19:44 Lack of the power of judgment is stupidity: 22:04 Power of judgment cannot be learned: 24:37 People without power of judgment tend to be pedantic: 29:28 Power of judgment cannot be taught but it can be trained: 38:09 Out of fear of judging themselves unaufkläred people place themselves under guardianship: 51:45 Determining and reflecting power of judgment: 1:21:38 The Critique of the Power of Judgment deals with the reflecting power of judgment: 1:25:10 Purposiveness is the only concept, which originates in the power of judgment a priori: 1:33:38 Digression: Nonpurposiveness as a fundament of horror: 1:49:25 The technique of nature as a necessary reflective concept: 1:56:57 Digression: Quantum physics as physics of nature where its technique ends?: 2:11:03 Aesthetic and teleological power of judgment: 2:14:57 Outlook: 2:16:13 Thanks: 2:18:04 The thinking faculty according to Kant: https://jonathanivoloewer.de/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/faculty-of-thinking-according-to-Kant.jpg On the power of judgment and its significance for the human being, Kant talks in his Anthropology from a Pragmatic Point of View: https://www.korpora.org/kant/aa07/196.html (English translations exist, but I could not find a free version online) and also his lectures on anthropology: https://archive.org/details/kantsgesammeltes0000kant_a3n3 | https://archive.org/details/kantsgesammeltes0000kant_j8c0. If someone is interested in the reflective power of judgment and its concept of purposiveness or a technique of nature speciically, he should read the introduction to the Power of Judgment: https://www.gutenberg.org/files/48433/48433-h/48433-h.htm or, better yet, the First Introduction to the Critique of the Power of Judgment: 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
