Foundations of Research in Modern European Philosophy: Kant's Critique of Pure Reason - PHIL703
The unit will equip students with the knowledge and skills to carry out research in the field of Modern European Philosophy, broadly conceived. The focus of the unit is the seminal text of ‘critical philosophy’ which has formed the point of departure for the main European philosophical traditions from the end of the 18th century to this day: Kant’s Critique of Pure Reason. Many philosophers consider Kant’s book to be one of the most profound works of philosophy ever written, and it is certainly one of the most influential. The aim of the unit is to examine this text in detail, to reflect critically upon its central arguments, to develop an awareness of its place in the history of philosophy, and to understand its contribution to contemporary philosophical debates.
