1 Just What is Kant's 'Project'? - Kant's Critique of Pure Reason (Dan Robinson)

Dan Robinson gives the 1st lecture in a series of 8 on Immanuel Kant's Critique of Pure Reason.

Both sense and reason are limited. Kant must identify the proper mission and domain of each, as well as the manner in which their separate functions come to be integrated in what is finally the inter-subjectively settled knowledge of science.

This series looks at German Philosopher Immanuel Kant's seminal philosophical work 'The Critique of Pure Reason'. The lectures aim to outline and discuss some of the key philosophical issues raised in the book and to offer students and individuals thought provoking Kantian ideas surrounding metaphysics. Each lecture looks at particular questions raised in the work such as how do we know what we know and how do we find out about the world, dissects these questions with reference to Kant's work and discusses the broader philosophical implications. Anyone with an interest in Kant and philosophy will find these lectures thought provoking but accessible.

This is series of lectures was given in 2011 at Oxford. Note, audio has been improved.

This lecture series is actually profoundly good for anyone interested in Kant's "First Critique, " or even anyone simply interested in epistemology in general! I have listened to this series over and over and over, and somehow it never gets old or tiring to me. . . I consider Prof. Dan Robinson to be nothing less than "the cat's meow, " and I wish I had had him for philosophy when I was in school - his specific choice of words to describe delicate and finely separated concepts is profoundly masterful and effective. His explanations are very down-to-earth and accessible. Let's hear it for Professor Robinson!!!

I’m going to watch this entire series a second time! I have a strong inclination to understand Kant’s First Critique. What Kant is dealing with is just so profound and fundamental that it’s difficult to even begin to take notice of the conceptions he is trying to bring to light. But the more I read the Critique itself along with the Prolegomena and listen attentively to lectures and other secondary sources in print the more I stand in awe of his philosophical prowess. The heights and depths of Kant’s abstract reasoning capacity is more than humbling. I stand meekly before the Critique of Pure Reason hoping to extract even a basic understanding of it’s profundity. I find this series of lectures by Robinson to be the most illuminating to me.

Good Heaven's, what a great teacher and lecturer! This whole lecture series is a treasure. Thank you, Dan Robinson, for your clarity and good humor and genius as a teacher.

[JoakimEnvall]

Dan Robinson's lectures are so amazing. He know what he talking about.

[NondescriptMammal]

Usually I find philosophy lectures very hard to endure. I like this guy though because he makes a lot of specific points, articulates them clearly, and though he might seem a little wordy at times, but he really isn't... compared to most lecturers on any subject, he's pretty efficient at delivering the information. It's a difficult subject matter, yet he never strays far from making a meaningful and coherent point. It might be the first time that I ever felt I was learning something useful from a philosophy lecture.

Excellent! Dan Robinson is a person to be cherished and remembered!
I struggled for almost 18 years to know and understand Marx, whose scientific system I finally grasped around 2020. As a result it was much enjoyable and exciting (and easier of course) to follow Kant's critique as expounded by Prof. Dan Robinson's.

[tunnelman]

Robinson stroke me as pretentious at first but I've grown to appreciate his animated and character-like style of lecturing and I enjoy what he puts into it

[JohnnyJohnny-fo]

[muhammadasifkhan]

[jacksonvosmaer]

Hey, question for the channel or anyone who follows: does this lecture series run side by side with certain readings of the text? & if so does anyone know what they are? Perhaps I could run ahead and discern from future videos but I am wondering because if that’s the case I would like to try to follow along.

Notes for myself-
"How is nature possible?" - 20:51

[ericgenaroflores]

The tragedy of prof Dan n Robinson is he really is onto something but alas he didn’t take the kirgekardian leap into the super sensible worlds through imagination inspiration intuition he could of been on his way to total freedom transcending the 73 categories of ahh perception as the Buddha would have it RIP Daniel

[paulheinrichdietrich]

37:00 What? I thought Kant could read English ¿?

[longcastle]

Reid saying it’s common sense stupid is not an argument. Show me the steps.

[adaptercrash]

Edit other peoples Identity, that is the projected idealism of pure reason, but only submitted on my behalf. It's in the form of a letter, or process in transcdental educational systems, not a thought adjustment process, behavior or dialectic process.

[czarquetzal]

Besides Prof. Robinson, Prof. Wolff is also an authority on Kant. The former is dead while the latter is too old. I am willing to replace them, hahahaha 😂, joke, hahaha 🤣😂
