Outline (in English)

Reading Kant's Relision within the boundaries of mere reason:the battle of the good against the evil principle

The first part of Kant's Relision within the boundaries of mere reason deals with the human "radical evil" and the "conversion" and the second part deals with "the battle of the good against the evil principle". Following the last semester we read the text of the first and the second part. In the seminar we deeply understand Kant's moral philosophy, think of the human good and evil, and improve our German reading comprehension. Without reading German texts however one may participate in our Japanese discussions and write Japanese resumes or reports to achieve the above objectives.

[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 content 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 should be able to understand the meaning of the translated words and sentences.

[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.

[Grading Criteria /Policy]
(1) 70% of the evaluation will be made in terms of the comprehension of source texts, the ability to find, investigate and consider problems, the communication skills for exchanging opinions, the ability to compare ideas, and the completion of the protocol (summary of the previous session).
(2) 30% of the evaluation will be made in terms of achievement level of the final report.
