Geoffrey Warnock on Kant: Section 1

The original audio had a lot of noise and crackles. This is the best I could clean it up (at the cost of some sound quality).
Contemporary philosopher Geoffrey Warnock discusses the philosophy of anti-empiricist Immanuel Kant, and his view that activities and powers within the mind are the key to knowledge, and that all knowledge is appearance. Knowledge for Kant, is a complex affair, in which knowing is acquired not just through the senses, but through pure concepts of understanding indigenous to the mind. Countering Hume, Kant insists it is the mind, not the senses, which unifies and organizes sensory flow into meaning full definitions of things.

The power of Kant compels you. The power of Kant compels you. The power of Kant compels you.

@mountebank1 The History channel is basically the Nazi channel with maybe something about the Romans every now and again.

RIP Kant - the great initiator of German Idealism

@sanmatteo12341 they often broadcast good stuff on BBC4. that channel was almost cancelled recently due to almost nobody watching it, but fortunately it's survived for now. but you're correct that they don't seem to make such programmes any more, and it's a travesty. especially when you consider how inexpensive they are compared to their garish dramafests.

It is a happy state of affairs that these types of programs do exist on Youtube nowadays.

immanuel cunt is hard to understand, but i will do it, my uni exam is about him & hume - both so hard to understand! Descartes is a lot of fun btw.

I agree with hazywaz1,... even the Beeb doesn't make unashamedly philosophical programmes like this these days......Thank God for YouTube.... and thank God for Bryan Magee....( Even if the gentleman is an avowed atheist !! )

This is why the internet is so important! No television channel would show this because it doesn't appeal to a mass audience. But like great literature, this sort of media should be readily available to those who seek it.
