Thanks! One question at the 30:00 minute mark. I thought that Space and Time are Synthetic A Priori Inutuitions? Or a Form of Intuition? I'm reading Roger Scruton's very short introduction to Kant and he refers to space and time as I previously stated. Awesome lectures! I've been watching for a long time, very informative and well made!
This is a super old comment lol but just in case it’s helpful for other viewers, my understanding is that space and time, as the form of intuitions, are necessary to explain synthetic a priori judgements, for example in geometry. But to say that they are themselves synthetic would mean they go beyond their concepts, which it doesn’t make sense to say about the form of intuition, which is necessary and universal
Am I mistaken for first attempting to read the first critique? I also started with the groundwork. I feel I need the prolegomena. Tbh honest tho.. I grasp quite a bit from just the first critique but I definitely need the prolegomena
This is an old comment, but I'll answer from my experience: I found the best way to understand Kant is to jump right into his works. So, I would suggest just reading everything and then reading them again and again. Read the CPR a few times, read the Prolegomena a few times (since he clarifies a few key concepts better than the CPR), and over time you will slowly understand his ideas. Unlike reading, say, Plato's works I have never heard of someone grasping Kant's basic ideas on their very first read w/out introduction. It personally took me a year or so to grasp his ideas such that I was able to discourse about them and help others understand them as well.
I absolutely love the way you disassemble and reassemble the picture.
This is so good, understood things clearer than before. Thank you!!
Thank you soooo much Dr.
Thanks so much for this. You explain it so well
