"A groundbreaking and influential philosophy classic about the limits of human reason"

Ryan and Todd continue their exploration of Immanuel Kant's Critique of Pure Reason with the Introduction. They discuss the importance of his critique of dogmatic metaphysics and the incredible discovery of the synthetic a priori judgment. Ryan's sports article: https://link.springer.com/journal/41282/online-first

Ryan and Todd begin their analysis of Immanuel Kant's Critique of Pure Reason by working through the prefaces to the first and second edition of the work. They focus on the radicality of Kant's breakthrough and the role that the limit plays in his philosophy.

Welcome back for another episode of Nick's Non-fiction with your host Nick Muniz The Critique of Pure Reason is a book by the German philosopher Immanuel Kant, in which the author seeks to determine the limits and scope of metaphysics. Kant builds on the work of empiricist philosophers such as John Locke and David Hume. Prior to Kant, it was thought that all a priori knowledge must be analytic. Kant, however, argues that our knowledge of mathematics, of the first principles of natural science, and of metaphysics, is both a priori and synthetic.

Scottish philosopher David Hume thought that rationalism didn't work at all. German philosopher Immanuel Kant thought rationalism didn't work by itself. Critique of Pure Reason, the first in a three-part project, is Kant's attempt to join the beliefs of Hume with the beliefs of the rationalists. In his system, thoughts, experience, physics, morality, political and religious questions all exist in relation to one another. It wasn't a takedown of reason; it was an investigation. Professor Michael Rosen is a professor of Ethics in Politics and Government at Harvard University. His work includes philosophy, social theory, and the history of ideas.

Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: A short conceptual explainer of Immanuel Kant's Critique of Pure Reason, published by jessicata on June 3, 2022 on LessWrong. Introduction While writing another document, I noticed I kept referring to Kantian concepts. Since most people haven't read Kant, that would lead to interpretation problems by default. I'm not satisfied with any summary out there for the purpose of explaining Kantian concepts as I understand them. This isn't summarizing the work as a whole given I'm focusing on the parts that I actually understood and continue to find useful. I will refer to computer science and statistical concepts, such as Bayesianism, Solomonoff induction, and AI algorithms. Different explainers are, of course, appropriate to different audiences. Last year I had planned on writing a longer explainer (perhaps chapter-by-chapter), however that became exhausting due to the length of the text. So I'll instead focus on what still stuck after a year, that I keep wanting to refer to. This is mostly concepts from the first third of the work. This document is structured similar to a glossary, explaining concepts and how they fit together. Kant himself notes that the Critique of Pure Reason is written in a dry and scholastic style, with few concrete examples, and therefore "could never be made suitable for popular use". Perhaps this explainer will help. Metaphysics We are compelled to reason about questions we cannot answer, like whether the universe is finite or infinite, or whether god(s) exist. There is an "arena of endless contests" between different unprovable assumptions, called Metaphysics. Metaphysics, once the "queen of all the sciences", has become unfashionable due to lack of substantial progress. Metaphysics may be categorized as dogmatic, skeptical, or critical: Dogmatic metaphysics makes and uses unprovable assumptions about the nature of reality. Skeptical metaphysics rejects all unprovable assumptions, in the process ceasing to know much at all. Critical metaphysics is what Kant seeks to do: find the boundaries of what reason can and cannot know. Kant is trying to be comprehensive, so that "there cannot be a single metaphysical problem that has not been solved here, or at least to the solution of which the key has not been provided." A bold claim. But, this project doesn't require extending knowledge past the limits of possible experience, just taking an "inventory of all we possess through pure reason, ordered systematically". The Copernican revolution in philosophy Kant compares himself to Copernicus; the Critique of Pure Reason is commonly referred to as a Copernican revolution in philosophy. Instead of conforming our intuition to objects, we note that objects as we experience them must conform to our intuition (e.g. objects appear in the intuition of space). This is sort of a reverse Copernican revolution; Copernicus zooms out even further from "the world (Earth)" to "the sun", while Kant zooms in from "the world" to "our perspective(s)". Phenomena and noumena Phenomena are things as they appear to us, noumena are things as they are in themselves (or "things in themselves"); rational cognition can only know things about phenomena, not noumena. "Noumenon" is essentially a limiting negative concept, constituting any remaining reality other than what could potentially appear to us. Kant writes: "this conception [of the noumenon] is necessary to restrain sensuous intuition within the bounds of phenomena, and thus to limit the objective validity of sensuous cognition; for things in themselves, which lie beyond its province, are called noumena for the very purpose of indicating that this cognition does not extend its application to all that the understanding thinks. But, after all, the possibility of such noumena is quite incomprehensible, and beyond the sphere of pheno...

This is the third in a series where I'm joined by Eric Taxier to discuss Kant's First Critique, the Critique of Pure Reason. In this episode we discuss the Introduction to the Critique. The first segment discusses Kant's conception of the collaboration between the object and our faculties for comprehending that object as well as the distinction between the a priori and the a posteriori. The second segment turn to the Kantian distinction between the analytic and the synthetic and examines the notion of the analytic as involving containment. The third segment zeroes in on the synthetic and the manner in which we are a necessary component of the act of synthesis. We also examine the troubling (for many) notion that math exemplifies the synthetic rather than the analytic. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app

Eric Taxier and Chad Jenkins discuss the two prefaces of Immanuel Kant's Critique of Pure Reason. We address the different goals and strategies of the two quite different prefaces: the 1781 original and the new preface for the 1787 revision. We discuss the way in which Kant describes Reason as insisting on going beyond what it can directly experience (and the trouble it causes itself in so doing), the notion of a critique, the things metaphysics can learn from other sciences, the importance of being in some way "rule-bound," and the question of one's grasp of the noumenal (or lack thereof). --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app

Episode: 2717 Kant, rationalism, empiricism, and the Critique of Pure Reason.  Today, a critique of pure reason.

This is the first in a series of episodes in which Chad Jenkins and Eric Taxier discuss the Critique of Pure Reason by Immanuel Kant. This episode covers some background information including the conflict between Rationalism and Empiricism, Kant's pre-critical writings, and the authors that led him to the critical impasse: Leibniz, Hume, and Rousseau. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app

Immanuel Kant was a prussian philosopher who's regarded as one the central figures of Englightenment. His output on ethics, metaphysics and epistemology have cemented hes place as one of the greats and for many he truly is the greatest to ever live. His magnum opus, Critique of Pure Reason, takes on the difficult task of trying to discover the answer to the mind boggling question: what can we know?   Throughout this journey we will stumble on concepts and ideas such as pure intuitions, a priori, a posteriori, worlds of noumena and phenomena and ding an sich as we build the foundation of transcendental idealism.  "Thoughts without content are empty, intuitions without concepts are blind."

Is transcendental idealism philosophically inconsistent? Does Kant not fully get the love he should from the philosophy community because he seems to have violated one of his own doctrines?Episode Link

Lecture 7/8. Kant argues that: "The synthetic unity of consciousness is... an objective condition of all knowledge. It is not merely a condition that I myself require in knowing an object, but is a condition under which every intuition must stand in order to become an object for me".

Lecture 1/8. Both sense and reason are limited. Kant must identify the proper mission and domain of each, as well as the manner in which their separate functions come to be integrated in what is finally the inter-subjectively settled knowledge of science.

Lecture 8/8. Reason, properly disciplined, draws permissible inferences from the resulting concepts of the understanding. The outcome is knowledge. When rightly employed, the perceptual and cognitive powers match up the right way with the real world and ground the knowledge-claims of the developed sciences. However, there is a strong tendency to stretch these processes beyond the permissible boundaries and seek what Kant refers to as "transcendental ideas" that go beyond the realm of actual or possible experience.

Lecture 6/8. Empiricists have no explanation for how we move from "mere forms of thought" to objective concepts. The conditions necessary for the knowledge of an object require a priori categories as the enabling conditions of all human understanding.

Lecture 5/8. The very possibility of self-awareness (an "inner sense" with content) requires an awareness of an external world by way of "outer sense". Only through awareness of stable elements in the external world is self-consciousness possible.

Lecture 4/8. Kant claims that, "our sense representation is not a representation of things in themselves, but of the way in which they appear to us. Hence it follows that the propositions of geometry... cannot be referred with the assurance to actual objects; but rather that they are necessarily valid of space... [and] space is nothing else than the form of all external appearances". [Prolegomena 286-287]

Lecture 3/8. Kant's so-called "Copernican" revolution in metaphysics begins with the recognition of the observer's contribution to the observation. Thus, to the extent that Hume's empiricism restricts knowledge to experience, empiricism succeeds only by accepting the a priori grounding of experience itself.

Lecture 2/8. The significant advances in physics in the 17th century stood in vivid contrast to the stagnation of traditional metaphysics, but why should metaphysics be conceived as a "science" in the first place?

What is our relation to reality? Are some features of our experience conditions of our having any experience at all? In this reading from his book Philosophy: The Classics Nigel Warburton attempts to summarise Immanuel Kant's Critique of Pure Reason, a notoriously difficult yet important book.
