| We will work our way
through Kant's Prolegomena and
his first Critique, in order
to come to an understanding of Kant's theory of 'cognition
[Erkenntnis]' in general and his doctrine of 'knowledge [Wissen]' in
particular. Along the way we will look at some of the more recent discussions of these topics in Kant-studies, as well as look to contemporary accounts of cognition, cognitive content, and knowledge that intend to be broadly 'Kantian' in spirit. |
