Outline (in English)

Kant's Antinomy in the <Critique of Pure Reason shows how Kant's original transcendental idealism has a dramatic effect on the solution of fundamental problems in philosophy. This philosophical discussion will require deep reflection on the finite and the infinite, necessity and freedom, and the Absolute. In the fall semester, we will further examine the specific antinomy by reading issues in the first and second antinomies and clarifying from the texts how the issues are resolved. In the seminar, students will also improve their reading comprehension of German texts. However, even if you are not in charge of translating the German text, you can still participate in the seminar by using Japanese or English translations and writing resumes and reports.

[Learning Objectives]
Students will acquire the following attitudes, skills, and knowledges regarding Kant's classical texts.
(1) To go back to the original text and uncover the thinker's thoughts themselves.
(2) To deepen their understanding of the subject by discovering, investigating, and considering questions.
(3) To formulate more persuasive opinions by referring to the opinions of others.
(4) To compare and contrast ideas from the text with other ones.
(5) To communicate the contents of reports in a clear and correct manner.
(6) Participants translating a German text should be able to read and understand the original German text accurately.
(7) Participants who primarily use Japanese, English, or other translated texts can accurately read the meaning of the translated text and technical terms.

[Learning activities outside of classroom]
Preparatory study (2 hours): Students in charge of translation will prepare a translation. Participants read and understand the translated texts and comments delivered in advance.
Review and homework (2 hours): Students in charge of protocol should prepare a resume for review. Students will read the review resume and comments shared in advance to confirm their understanding.
