This is a video in my new Core Concepts series -- designed to provide students and lifelong learners a brief discussion focused on one main concept from a classic philosophical text and thinker.
This Core Concept video focuses on Immanuel Kant's Prolegomena To Any Future Metaphysics and examines his discussion in the Preamble on the peculiarities of all metaphysical knowledge, bearing upon the nature of mathematical judgements, properly speaking. Kant argues, against previous thinkers, that properly mathematical judgements are not analytic but synthetic a priori. There is still scope for analytic judgements within mathematics that help to clarify matters or to show some equivalence or equality.

I'm greatful for this and waiting for next episodes. I am reading this books right now, and I hope, your videos will help me.

I'll eventually go through the entire work. Got other kinds of videos to shoot and release as well, though

Dr. Sadler,
May I ask why Kant suggests after the 5+7 example that “We have to go outside these concepts by resorting to the intuition which corresponds to one of them, our five fingers for instance…” (Zöller 269). You said he isn’t literally suggesting we do arithmetic on our fingers, so is he just illustrating the concept that we have to go outside the concepts of 5 and 7? Is it not problematic that he appeals to intuition as math is supposed to be a priori? Thank you for this series.
