Puppet Show Part 1

[icwo]

Great stuff guys, wish you could have done one on Kant's Critique of Pure Reason"

[kerumble]

Philosophy is such a waste of time. I'm going to watch "how to make a wallet" from Expert Village.

[icwo]

A lot of it is outdated, and doesn't apply anymore since we live in a new age. But philosophy is like art in that it is everywhere, you just have to find the type that you're into.

[MrSqiffy]

Philosophy is the study of thought and existence, I can't actually think of anything more important.

bich you suck camel dick

[galpal12345]

cool i luv puppet shows they rock

[thekempe72]

the acting in this is rubbish

[Uxoriouswidow]

A lot of people see Kant as cold and misanthropic. He's vehemently deontological, and states that acting out of duty though clenched teeth is more morally favourable than doing a good deed out of genuine goodness.

I find it hard to agree with Kant entirely, but you have to credit his ambitiousness and the intellect of some of his points. That said, I find his material quite laboursome to read.

[Dranged1016]

OMG!!!!! This is my teacher!!!! He was showing us the Kant puppet today. Hes a great teacher. And you dont usualy forget his lectures easily.

[hugoestr]

One cool teacher :)

[socrpimp1234]

It figures.

[godlesstechnocrat]

From the Critique of Pure Reason. If that's not a religious agenda, I don't know what is.

[godlesstechnocrat]

I have therefore

found it necessary to deny knowledge, in order to make room

for faith. The dogmatism of metaphysics, that is, the precon-

ception that it is possible to make headway in metaphysics with-

out a previous criticism of pure reason, is the source of all that

unbelief, always very dogmatic, which wars against morality.

[MikeG506]

I very much disagree if we must shy away in an entrapic state of unbelief and denial of knowledge , we wouldn't be able to at all as you said earlier acheve any headway in metaphysics - and metaphysics basically abandons any pure reason and does not in turn go against morality and Kant was indeed a theolgian and he did state so and that doesn't give him any dogmatic criticism

[godlesstechnocrat]

Kant was not a philosoher, he was a theologian. He basically said so himself. He was the most wordy and pretentious theologian in the history of theology, but het was a theologian nonetheless. He was basically trying to save God from reason. I'm an atheist, so I can't take anything he says seriously.

[JoshL11185]

Well, you obviously have not read a significant amount about him. Little is known about his life and what is shows him to be merely a man of habit and thought. He is not a theologian, and can clearly be seen as a diest, like many founding fathers. He talks about God, but in a more diestic sense as the principle cause. He knew nothing of Darwin or Physics, and therefore had no other explanation.

[godlesstechnocrat]

[From what has already been said, it is evident that] even the

assumption--as made on behalf of the necessary practical em-

ployment of my reason -- of God, freedom, and immortality is

not permissible unless at the same time speculative reason be

deprived of its pretensions to transcendent insight.

[jcblkr]

Indeed Kant rejected the cosmological argument for the existence of God (along with all other alleged proofs). Instead the apparent teleological structure of nature is ascribed to reason and judgment itself (ref. KdU). God can never be an object of theoretical reason and hence is assigned the position of a practical postulate (of practical reason) along with equally transcendent issues, freedom and immortality.

[jcblkr]

Kant was emphatically not a theologian. At least not in any contemporary sense of that term. The entire critical method and the project of enlightenment signifies European culture's route away from religious dogmatism, relying instead of the autonomous capacity for critique inherent to reason. I have studied Kant intensively for nearly ten years now, and it is safe to say that your assesment is quite simply wrong.

[flofrasso]

Fantastic! If I tell my teacher I'm repeating Kant in this way, with this video, she will probably laugh for half an hour..! ^_^

[Ben1524]

Very nice review, categorically:) I say.
