Kant's Critique of Pure Reason Course by Daniel N. Robinson on Free Audio Download

Immanuel KantвЂ™s Critique of Pure Reason stands as a touchstone work in modern philosophy, and in this free course provided by Oxford, Professor Daniel Robinson will bring his wit, enthusiasm and deep scholarship to bear on this seminal, though admittedly difficult book. What was KantвЂ™s project? As Robinson puts it, Kant wanted to know just how far human knowledge could reach, or to put it another way, how much our senses and reason could allow us to access вЂњrealityвЂќ as it exists outside of human experience. Kant stood in stark contrast to HumeвЂ™s Empiricism, which held that our senses always stood as a potentially distorting mediator between human beings and objective reality. KantвЂ™s Critique was thus a rigorous exploration aimed at finding a stable, scientific вЂњimageвЂќ of reality that could be relied upon again and again.
