On Tuesday, 8th of January 2019 at 5 p. m.:

In the first part, we will examine the foundational structure of Kant’s architectonic of pure reason: The operation of the ‘I think’ and the fundamental division around which this operation is structured.

Reading:
CpR, pp. 226-266 (A95-A130, B130-B169)

On Wednesday 9th of January 2019 at 5 p. m.:
2) The vicissitudes of the dialectic

Reading:
CpR, pp. 338-383 (A235/B294–A292/B349)

On Friday 11th of January 2019 at 5 p. m.:
4) Polemical Reason

In the fourth part, our question becomes the possible use of the Kantian philosophy itself: Is there such a use at all or is this philosophy merely a description of what is? For Kant, it is both..

Reading:
CpR, pp. 643-671 (A738/B766–A794/B822)
