Back Roads to Philosophy: Introduction to Immanuel Kant’s Kritik der Reinen Vernunft pt. 1
Watch: Back Roads to Philosophy: Introduction
We start our Back Roads to Philosophy series with the first episode on Kant’s Kritik der Reinen Vernunft. At this point we provide general introduction to the intention around which this exemplar of modern metaphysics has been formed. We stick to selected passages from the “Preface” and “Preface to Second Edition” as well as the “Introduction to First Edition”, and we lay out why Kant’s motivation is fundamentally to make an attempt at the new beginning in metaphysics; we explain the significance of some of the metaphors he is prone to use and give definitions of some of the basic terms. Finally, we talk about the structure of the Kritik and why and how, for Kant, it reflects the intrinsic structure of the very human faculty it is intended to analyze – pure mind itself.
