Kant

Immanuel Kant (1724-1804) is widely regarded as one of the most influential figures in modern philosophy. His theoretical philosophy sought to bridge the empiricist and the rationalist movements. His practical philosophy laid the groundwork for modern ethical theories. This course will survey themes such as: the nature of space and time, appearance and reality, causation, free will and determinism, the nature of moral obligation, the relation between freedom and autonomy, and the relation between virtue and happiness.
