Reading Kant's Critique of the Power of Judgment
Our meetings will be by zoom. We shall start with two sessions devoted to the Introduction (the one published in the first edition of the book, not the original draft Introduction which was first published in 1914 in its entirety).
We are using the translation by Guyer and Matthews (CUP 2001) as our main reference point, probably with some of us using other translations or the German original (e.g. Meiner 2001), which is also available online.
Our provisional sequence of meetings will be, on Wednesdays at 5–6.30 pm:
12 October, 26 October, 9 November, 23 November, 7 December and 21 December (tbc).
