This lecture series has inspired me to want to give Kant’s first critique a more thorough reading followed by another viewing of this entire series. He really illuminates the profundity and brilliance of Kant. It’s easy to believe that us moderns with our more advanced scientific knowledge can simply brush aside philosophers like Decartes, Hume, Reid, Kant, etc as irrelevant and superfluous relics of the past. This position, especially for a student of philosophy, is a fatal misunderstanding! I have always valued the principle of studying primary sources even if mere translations thereof.

This is my favourite series of philosophy videos on YT. So sad to hear of Dan Robinson's passing. What an endearing speaker.

Thank you so much for uploading and to the professor for lecturing!

Kant and the logic of illusion stops me in my tracks

Oops I meant imagination inspiration and intuition and his way to total freedom

let us all together slowly read Plato

The tragedy of professor Daniel n Robinson is that he really is onto something but alas he didn’t take the big leap into the super-sensible world imagination inspirational intuition before he passed

We can Know spiritual realities...but not conceptually alone. For that we need the entire human being: thought, intuition, imagination, emotion, and all the rest, integrated into one perception of all too apparent reality that nevertheless lies outside of our mere sensual capabilities alone. Kant can't imagine 'knowing' God in philosophical terms, and he's right. We're not however reduced to believing in fairy tales if we're moved towards spiritual sensibility based, yes, on Experience. Some few experiences of the Holy are enough to last many people for their lifetime. The poet Auden had only one such experience and remained within his faith until the end. See,, Thank You, Fog, his last poem.

Kant accepted the freedom of the Ego while discarding God and cosmos as mere regulative concepts but he also included the Ego as a regulative one. If he asserted that the Self is mere illusion because all conclusions derived from Transcendental Arguments are beyond sense perception, then freedom is also illusion.

16:23 If you make an account of what a person knows during a transcendental deduction you may find noumenon, when you examine the contents of his memory before and after a lecture on Kant's consept of noumenon.

Did anyone else think that he was presenting his lecture in a garage, standing in front of the garage door?

Where's the other 8?!

@@Philosophy_Overdose Ohh, I meant the 8 he mentioned in passing that he could do on the antinomies alone. Can I request a lecture on Practical Reason?

This is the typical interpretation of Kant ... it conflicts with many of Kant's own words: "Science, arts, morality do not completely fill the soul, there is always a space left over for pure speculative reason," in the Prolegomena; and regarding the first antinomy, Kant invites his critical reader to devote to this antinomy his cheif attention (read his footnote) ... he mentions the 'presumption' on which the proof of the antithesis rests. This professor, as so many, discourages any investigation of such matters, claiming they're 'unlawful' ... among other things. This makes Kant the absolute authority over what we can and cannot think--a Tyrant one might well say. Kant never went anywhere near this far, in his work ... but this is the typical interpretation on the part of almost all Kantian scholars--grounded on nothing other than their own skepticism, and anti-metaphysical stand. Kant's requirement for knowledge from pure reason was quite clear in his CPR and that is that anything offered by means of pure reason must be such that it helps us to make sense of the phenomenal word ... that it can be related to the world of our concrete experience. This is where such professors as this, miss the entire point of the project that Kant was working on. Read for instance, the challenge he presents to a reviewer of his work, found in the Appendix to the Prolegomena. He invites his reviewer to take any of the four antinomy and to present a counterproof of his own, grounded on pure reason. The same challenge remains. Kant did not close the book on the subject--read my essay on this particular point in "The Review of Metaphysics," 2013 essay: "Beyond Kant and Hegel". Do not just as students, take any professor's interpretation of Immanuel Kant, as correct ... read with an open mind, and don't reach too many conclusions too fast, without any great or painstaking degree of examination, and critical thought.
