Kant

Kant’s intention was to limit the claims of metaphysics in order to make room for faith. He saw his philosophical efforts as a revolution akin to that of Copernicus. The course will consider Kant’s claim that his critique was a “call to reason to undertake anew the most difficult of all its tasks, namely, that of self-knowledge.” A close reading of parts of Kant’s Critique of Pure Reason and of other major texts will be used as a basis for this consideration.
