    6 Concepts, Judgment and Deduction of the Categories - Kant's Critique of Pure Reason (Dan Robinson)

    Dan Robinson gives the 6th lecture in a series of 8 on Immanuel Kant's Critique of Pure Reason. Empiricists have no explanation for how we move from "mere forms of thought" to objective concepts. The conditions necessary for the knowledge of an object require a priori categories as the enabling conditions of all human understanding. Uploaded 05-06-21 This series looks at German Philosopher Immanuel Kant's seminal philosophical work 'The Critique of Pure Reason'. The lectures aim to outline and discuss some of the key philosophical issues raised in the book and to offer students and individuals thought provoking Kantian ideas surrounding metaphysics. Each lecture looks at particular questions raised in the work such as how do we know what we know and how do we find out about the world, dissects these questions with reference to Kant's work and discusses the broader philosophical implications. Anyone with an interest in Kant and philosophy will find these lectures thought provoking but accessible. This is series of lectures was given in 2011 at Oxford. Note, the audio has been improved.

    Resurrection of the Body? Physicalism and the Possibility of Life After Death

    Can a Christian be a physicalist? And is there a coherent story to tell about how a physical entity can survive bodily death? In this talk, Rebekah Rice evaluates proposals by Christian philosophers who have answered "yes" to both questions and have gone on to propose theories about the possibility of resurrection given physicalism. Rebekah Rice, Assistant Professor of Philosophy at Seattle Pacific University, gave this lecture back in 2012.

    7 The "Self" and Synthetic Unity of Apperception - Kant's Critique of Pure Reason (Dan Robinson)

    Dan Robinson gives the 7th lecture in a series of 8 on Immanuel Kant's Critique of Pure Reason. Kant argues that: "The synthetic unity of consciousness is... an objective condition of all knowledge. It is not merely a condition that I myself require in knowing an object, but is a condition under which every intuition must stand in order to become an object for me".

    True Enough

    A talk given by Catherine Elgin on her book "True Enough", the development of an epistemology that explains how science and art embody and convey understanding. Philosophy valorizes truth, holding that there can never be epistemically good reasons to accept a known falsehood, or to accept modes of justification that are not truth conducive. How can this stance account for the epistemic standing of science, which unabashedly relies on models, idealizations, and thought experiments that are known not to be true? In True Enough, Catherine Elgin argues that we should not assume that the inaccuracy of models and idealizations constitutes an inadequacy. To the contrary, their divergence from truth or representational accuracy fosters their epistemic functioning. When effective, models and idealizations are, Elgin contends, felicitous falsehoods that exemplify features of the phenomena they bear on. Because works of art deploy the same sorts of felicitous falsehoods, she argues, they also advance understanding. Uploaded 07-07-21 Elgin develops a holistic epistemology that focuses on the understanding of broad ranges of phenomena rather than knowledge of individual facts. Epistemic acceptability, she maintains, is a matter not of truth-conduciveness, but of what would be reflectively endorsed by the members of an idealized epistemic community—a quasi-Kantian realm of epistemic ends.
