Phenomenological Interpretation of Kant's Critique of Pure Reason

Martin Heidegger

Description

An essential work for students of Heidegger, Kant, modern philosophy, and contemporary phenomenology

The text of Martin Heidegger's 1927–28 university lecture course on Emmanuel Kant's Critique of Pure Reason presents a close interpretive reading of the first two parts of this masterpiece of modern philosophy. In this course, Heidegger continues the task he enunciated in Being and Time as the problem of dismatling the history of ontology, using temporality as a clue. Within this context the relation between philosophy, ontology, and fundamental ontology is shown to be rooted in the genesis of the modern mathematical sciences. Heidegger demonstrates that objectification of beings as beings is inseparable from knowledge a priori, the central problem of Kant's Critique. He concludes that objectification rests on the productive power of imagination, a process that involves temporality, which is the basic constitution of humans as beings.

3. Laying the Foundation of Metaphysics as Science as the Critique of Pure Reason
a) Kant s Interpretation of Ontological Knowledge
) Knowledge a priori
) The Condition for the Possibility of a Science of Beings in General
) Analytic and Synthetic Judgments
) The Problem of the Possibility of Synthetic Judgments a priori or the Problem of an Ontological Understanding of Being
b) The Difference between Transcendental Philosophy or Metaphysics and Laying the Foundation of Metaphysics as the Critique of Pure Reason
