Course Description

To understand the general orientation of the kind of thought known as German idealism, this course contextualizes Kant and the post-Kantian philosophers in Leibniz's project to: (1) Recover the Platonic tradition as an antidote to the nominalist theism of Locke and Berkeley; (2) Take as a formula the Kantian claim that his philosophy, transcendental philosophy, is idealist regarding the form of experience, but not its matter.  The full development of the meaning involved in this escape from (Berkeley's) material idealism leads the course gradually from the old Kant's Critique of the Faculty of Judgment to the Nietzsche's declared death of criticism, allowing one to distinguish the unity of this important intellectual development.

Course Description

The objective of epistemology is to discuss or determine the nature, limits, scope, presuppositions, and bases of human knowledge.  Its importance is extreme because it is the branch of philosophy that places very severe limits on free speculation.  For example, metaphysics and ontology can argue coherently and convincingly about the existence of anything; epistemology refers to the way in which it aims to know and justify what it proposes.  Epistemology is what determines what is mere metaphysical speculation; what seems to be able to be confirmed as part of reality; how well the claims to know something are founded; how many forms of knowledge there are; what their degrees of doubt or certainty as well as their scope, limits, sources, justifications, etc.  This course aims to give students the necessary foundations to be able to introduce some of the disturbing questions immersed in the attempt to define what human knowledge is and how it is obtained and justified.  The course, therefore, aims that students are able to understand, reflect on, and discuss the problems they face.
