Immanuel Kant’s Critique of the Power of Judgment (1790) remains one of the most influential texts in the history of philosophy. It might be argued that it is the source of the critique of instrumentality that dominates the writings of Heidegger, Arendt and Agamben. Equally, it plays a powerful role in the thinking of Jean François Lyotard. The aim of this intensive course is to provide a way into the text that will involve both explanatory lectures and detailed studies of specific fundamental passages. Each session will consist therefore of an introductory lecture followed by the group study of a particular section of the text. The text is sufficiently complex that an introduction is necessary, however it is also important that the text itself be studied. The aim of this course is to provide both. The course will necessitate therefore an openness to working with difficult and demanding material.
