Outline (in English)

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

The second part of Kant's Religion within the boundaries of mere reason discusses "the battle of the good against the evil principle for dominion over the human being". This is, in other words, the battle between the "Son of God" and the "Devil," and the final theme is "miracles". In the spring semester of this year, as in the previous year, we will continue to read and examine the original texts, beginning in the middle of the second volume. In the seminar, students will deepen their understanding of Kant's moral religious thought. In addition, the seminar will also sharpen students' reading comprehension of German texts. However, students may participate in the seminar by participating in the examination of the texts in Japanese or English and preparing resumes and reports, even if they are not in charge of translating and reading the German texts.

[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.

[Grading Criteria /Policy]
(1) 70% of the evaluation will be based on the following aspects: 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 based on the level of achievement level of the final report.
