Continental Philosophy

This week, we follow the journey of the classics as they spread from Greece to the Arab world and beyond. At a time when Europe still hadn’t got its act together philosophically speaking, Arabs were busily translating and debating the ideas of Aristotle and others. We’re joined by Professor Peter Adamson from King’s College, London, co-editor of The Cambridge Companion to Arabic Philosophy.

Two of the most prominent questions in Kant’s critical philosophy concern reason. The first, central to his theoretical philosophy, is the unprovable pretensions of reason in earlier “rationalist” philosophers, especially Leibniz and Descartes. The second, central to his practical philosophy, is the subservient role accorded to reason by the British empiricists—above all Hume, who declared, “Reason is wholly inactive, and can never be the source of so active a principle as conscience, or a sense of morals.” (Treatise, 3.1.1.11; see also the entry on Rationalism vs. Empiricism.) Thus the titles of two key works: the monumental Critique of Pure Reason, and the Critique of Practical Reason that is middle point of his great trio of moral writings (between the Groundwork of the Metaphysics of Morals and The Metaphysics of Morals).

Review of Knowledge, Reason, and Taste: Kant’s Response to Hume

Paul Guyer’s stated aims in this collection of previously published essays are to show that “the philosophical approach Kant developed for showing that our concept of and beliefs about causation have a foundation that Hume denied they have also provides Kant with an approach for addressing the concerns Hume raised about external objects and the self”, and that, beyond the domain of metaphysics proper, “important elements of Kant’s moral philosophy, his aesthetics, and his teleology can be fruitfully read as responses to Hume” (p. 7). These are fairly bland claims, but in the course of establishing them, Guyer presents in short compass his own systematic and comprehensive interpretations of these two thinkers in the areas in which their themes overlap. Here I summarize the basic positions Guyer stakes out for himself in the book’s five chapters, and express a few worries along the way.
