Fall, 1997
Immanuel Kant (1724-1804) exercises more influence on Philosophy in the present day than almost any other historical thinker. His works are voluminous, covering topics as diverse as ethics, physics, aesthetics, and political theory. He is probably best known for his conviction that nature is not available to us directly but that the human mind constructs at least some part of what we experience as "the world."
This course concentrates on Kant's work in ethical and political theory and in the philosophy of history. Seminar format, no prerequisites.
This seminar is being offered jointly by the Department of Philosophy of the University of Richmond (Virginia) and the Division of Social Science of Truman State University (Missouri). For more information, you can email Ladelle McWhorter (UR) or David Gruber (TSU).
