Special Topics in Western Philosophers
- Kant's Critique
of the Power of Judgment
(Dr. Tze-wan Kwan)
Course Code: PHI 5030 (Fall, 2006) Venue: MMW-707 Time: Wed 06-08
Course description:
This course focuses on
Kant's third major work in his programme of “critical
philosophy” - the Critique of [the Power of] Judgment. As the keystone
to Kant's philosophical edifice, the Critique of Judgment is well known
for its wide scope of interest and its complexity in structure. This course
covers both parts of the third Critique,
namely, that of Aesthetic Judgment
and of Teleological Judgment. In
order to expound the contextual significance of the third Critique in
the midst of Kant's philosophical work, excerpts from other related texts,
including the first two Critiques, The
Metaphysics of Morals, as well as the posthumously published Reflexionen, will be introduced wherever
appropriate. For the sake of better dialogue between the participants, a good
knowledge of the general history of Western philosophy is required. Previous
enrollment in courses on Kant is a definite advantage although not a
prerequisite for taking this course. The course consists of both lectures and
seminar sessions to be held in alternate intervals. A written report on a topic
previously agreed upon is required toward the end of the semester. Assessment
will be made on the readiness for discussion in class as well as on the final
written report.
