Delving into Kantian Philosophy: A Review of "The Critique of Pure Reason" by Immanuel Kant

Immanuel Kant's "The Critique of Pure Reason" stands as one of the most influential and enduring works in the history of philosophy, reshaping the landscape of metaphysics, epistemology, and the philosophy of mind. Published in 1781, this monumental treatise seeks to provide a comprehensive account of the nature, scope, and limits of human knowledge, offering profound insights into the nature of reality, the structure of the mind, and the conditions of possibility for knowledge.

At the heart of "The Critique of Pure Reason" is Kant's revolutionary concept of transcendental idealism, which posits that the mind plays an active role in shaping our experience of the world. Kant argues that the mind imposes certain fundamental concepts and categories—such as space, time, and causality—on our sensory perceptions, organizing them into a coherent and intelligible framework. Through his rigorous analysis, Kant seeks to uncover the a priori conditions that make experience possible, shedding light on the fundamental structures of human cognition.

One of the key themes of "The Critique of Pure Reason" is Kant's distinction between phenomena and noumena, or appearances and things-in-themselves. Kant argues that while we can only know phenomena as they appear to us through the filter of our cognitive faculties, there exists a realm of noumena that lies beyond the reach of human knowledge. This distinction has profound implications for Kant's philosophy, shaping his views on the limits of human understanding and the nature of metaphysical inquiry.

Moreover, "The Critique of Pure Reason" is notable for its meticulous analysis of the nature of space, time, and causality, which Kant identifies as the fundamental categories of human thought. Kant argues that these categories are not derived from experience, but rather constitute the necessary framework through which we interpret our sensory perceptions. By elucidating the synthetic a priori nature of these categories, Kant lays the groundwork for his transcendental idealism and challenges traditional empiricist and rationalist accounts of knowledge.

In addition to its groundbreaking philosophical insights, "The Critique of Pure Reason" is also celebrated for its rigorous methodology and systematic approach to philosophical inquiry. Kant's meticulous argumentation, intricate terminology, and careful exposition of concepts make "The Critique of Pure Reason" a challenging but rewarding read for scholars and philosophers alike. Kant's influence extends far beyond the boundaries of philosophy, shaping the development of disciplines such as psychology, physics, and linguistics, and leaving an indelible mark on the intellectual landscape of the modern world.

In conclusion, "The Critique of Pure Reason" by Immanuel Kant is a towering achievement in the history of philosophy, offering profound insights into the nature of human knowledge, the structure of the mind, and the limits of metaphysical inquiry. Kant's rigorous analysis, groundbreaking concepts, and systematic approach to philosophical inquiry make "The Critique of Pure Reason" a timeless classic that continues to inspire and challenge readers with its depth, complexity, and intellectual rigor.

Immanuel Kant's "The Critique of Pure Reason" is available in Amazon in paperback 24.99$ and hardcover 31.99$ editions.

A Transcendental Narrative

Transcendental in the realm of Philosophy means something heavenly, spiritual and metaphysical. For the word transcendental I embody a fleshy, carnal and earthly realm of human consciousness. I would like to use certain terms for connecting them and they are:

(a Transcendental idealism

(b Transcendental metaphysics

(c Transcendental dialectics

(d Transcendental humanism

(e Transcendental aesthetics

Transcendental Idealism

Transcendental idealism can be defined as the living plane of reality which is subjective and cathartic.  It is the sublimation of life. It is the celebration of meaning. It is a carnival of fetish. It is an idea rooted in the self. It is a fantastical celebration of the self. It’s narcissism of euphoria. It is the transcendence of the idealized subjectivity. It’s an embarkation of Prometheus. It’s a life of Bacchanalian revelry. It’s a verbal jargon of the self.

Transcendental Metaphysics

Transcendental metaphysics is an intimate connection of God with the self. It’s the free will of choice aligned with God’s will. It’s an advent of mythical spiritualism.  Religion becomes an art with God and the self. It is the art of placing all our hopes, will, desires, aspirations with the will of God. God celebrates the present and luck’s the future.

Transcendental Dialectics

What is transcendental dialectics? It’s a compromise of earthly life with spirituality. A famous statement can be taken from the Lord’s Prayer: give us this day our daily bread. Daily Bread is a metonymy suggesting God’s ability to take care one’s material needs. Again there is a statement in the Bible: The blessings of God are wealth earned without toil. It is the economy and luxury of self-realization.

Transcendental Humanism

Transcendental Humanism is the pursuit of the self to ideal of becoming. It’s a relationship of interaction based on love and trust it’s a call to become an ideal self. It’s a poetic heart of feeling. It is the living of the self with the democracy of the world. It is Camus rebellion of the self. It’s the manipulation of the self to make an intentional reality. The will soars to Promethean heights. It is the unlocking of the psychological Minotaur and embracing a democratic freedom of the self.

Transcendental Aesthetics

Now what is transcendental aesthetics? Art is the mirror of life beautified with qualitative experiences. The idea of art is found in the Philosophy of meaning. Art celebrates the essence of meaning. From the producers hands art enters the realm of subjective experience. The role of philosophy is to question essence and the role of art is to enjoy essence. From the fetish of the creator art evolves into a labyrinth of subjectivity. Art metamorphizes into an elan vital of existence. We are becoming creatures of the cosmos while enjoying art. Art is a phantasmagoria of existence.

@pleuvoire it's basically kant's response to hume showing that causation is not something we can perceive with "pure reason" because there's no logical contradiction in the opposite of an effect happening. so hume said technically you cant prove that anything causes anything and you should be skeptical.

kant responds by saying that it's true that we can't directly, with reason, prove things like cause-effect, but things like cause-effect, time, and space are necessary for us to have experience at all--pure sense perception would be unintelligible without it. so while we may not be perceiving things in the world in themselves, we are perceiving how they have to appear to us, and can do a "transcendental deduction" to infer that the real world exists and is causing us to have the sense experience we have because otherwise our experience would just be unintelligible.

so, we process the sense information we receive with categories we "impose" (causation, time and space), but these categories are necessary for the intelligibility of our experience. so we can talk about cause and effect and space and such things logically--even if we can't logically prove they exist in the real world, they are necessary universal preconditions for intelligibility and so conclusions based on them apply to all rational creatures.

tl;dr. there's the neumena, the "things in themselves," which we cannot directly experience, and the phenomena, things as experienced in an intelligible way by us, and we can only apply logic to the phenomena and so cant technically prove things about the neumena, but can (by "transcendental deduction") "transcend" as it were our ideas by saying "unless x is true, our experience is unintelligible"

MODELS OF BEING: IMMANENT, TRANSCENDENT, AND TRANSCENDENTAL IDEA OF BEING: 

1. ON IMMANENCE: REALIST AND IDEALIST It would not be wrong or shorthanded then to conclude that all philosophies that are a partisan of absolute existence are, like Deleuze shows, immanent philosophies. The basic assumption here is the one put forward by Parmenides: there is nothing outside existence or there is nothing outside being. Everything, every change, is but only immanent inside the…

what do u dislike plato

deeply uninterested in any position promising access to a higher, hidden, divine realm of truth ontologically in tension with the material existence of things and their relations to one another. it's a position that appeals to supra-natural handwaving in order to resolve a perceived disjunction between perception and reality without making any effort to historicise or problematise such a disjunction, say perhaps in relation to estranged labour. kant also does this but at least he has the decency to pretend it's constitutive of human psychology and not a regulatory principle of reality in itself. i also think the ethical positions plato expresses through socrates's mouth are laughably optimistic about the existence of a pure and unconditioned truth, the human ability to perceive such a thing, and the immediate rational acceptance of it, which leads most obviously to the deeply annoying socratic solution to "why do people act against their own interests" being "they are deceived, and i don't need to prove that or engage with expressed desires that are contradictory or self-destructive, because i can simply assume these people are deceived, because if they were not then they would do the transcendentally correct thing and be happy and experience no inner conflict". politically reactionary in the way all philosophical idealism is, and more than incidentally psychiatry minded, in the sense of the etymology ψυχή ιατρεία, 'soul healing' (cf nietzsche: socrates as the "mystagogue of science", who lived and died 'scientifically', namely, delivered from the fear of death by conviction in the mission to make existence appear comprehensible and therefore justifiable).

sucks hate him think the world needs more insane unruly people unashamed to exist bodily and uninterested in extolling the virtue of self-restraint. "socially contextualise that thang" --karl marx 1844

What are you reading lately?

recently finished audiobooks:

the invention of nature: alexander von humboldt's new world by andrea wulf (5/5 stars, extremely based takes for an 1800s european on the immorality of slavery, rights for indigenous people in the americas, and the negative effects of colonization on the environment. basically THE blueprint for all naturalists after him. probably one of the most beloved scientists ever)

central asia: a new history from the imperial conquests to the present by adeeb khalid (5/5 stars, just a wonderfully researched and presented book. a [necessary] focus on the role of islam, nation-building, ethnicity, and communism in central asia)

when we cease to understand the world by benjamin labatut (4/5 stars, i will never get enough of the history of quantum theory)

the art of communicating by thich nhat hanh (3/5 stars, he writes the same book every book but i still like it every time)

a brief history of equality by thomas piketty (2/5 stars, some good history but essentially a "we must discuss these problems further" book with sometimes weird possible solutions to problems. overall one obviously good point: economic reparations are necessary in many, many places)

currently reading/listening/holding/sensually imbibing:

system of transcendental idealism by fwj schelling (pdf)

a short commentary on kant's critique of pure reason by ac erwing (book)

the case against the supreme court by erwin chemerinsky (audiobook)

next on the to-read list (not in order):

non-places: an introduction to supermodernity by marc auge (admittedly a shot in the dark for whether i like it or not)

immediacy or, the style of too late capitalism by anna kornbluh (zizek and so on podcast did an interview with her that i really liked)

views of nature by alexander von humboldt (hopelessly humboldtpilled)

essays on transcendental philosophy by salomon maimon (imo kant's greatest critic and also has a cool philosophy of difference)
