Immanuel Kant (1724-1804), sought to bridge the Enlightenment and the Rationalist movements. This course will focus on Kant's account of the mind as not being a blank slate, and its implications for human knowledge and self- understanding. Kant's distinctions between phenomena/noumena and analytic/synthetic profoundly influenced later thought in Europe, Britain, and North-America. Different texts and/or passages from Kant's works will be read at the discretion of the instructor.
