Paper Abstract: Discusses Kan't concept of the empty universe & universal reason and the Buddhist idea of the universal mind. Examines parallels and differences bewteen the 2 philosophies. Similarities in Kan't premise that the universe is empty or neutral and the Buddhist desire to empty the mind. Differences in their thought. Paper Introduction: UNIVERSAL REASON, UNIVERSAL MIND: SOME PARALLELS AND DIFFFERENCES IN KANTIAN AND BUDDHIST ASSUMPTIONS There is a marked similarity between Kant’s ideas of the empty universe and universal reason and the Buddhist idea of the universal mind. It is fruitful to explore these parallels, while also being mindful of the difference that exists between Kantian and Buddhist thought. In his Fundamental Principles of the Metaphysics of Morals, Kant argues that self-awareness is not possible without awareness of objects external to one’s mind. And unless a being is aware of the self and of external objects as different from self, that being cannot grasp that its mental states are representations Read the Entire Essay.

Paper Abstract: Idea presented is that for Kant, in "Groundwork of the Metaphysic of Morals," ethics & morality are metaphysical in nature; also that ethics can be divided into empirical knowledge & a priori knowledge. His view is briefly compared to Aristotle & Hume. Paper Introduction: Kant and Practical Reason Introduction Immanuel Kant begins his work, Groundwork of the Metaphysic of Morals, by dividing human knowledge into three branches: logic; physics; and ethics (Kant, 1956). He further divides ethics (which relates indirectly to reason), into empirical knowledge, and a priori knowledge (Kant, 1956). With reference to ethical behavior, the first term applies to sensuous experience, and the second to some inborn intrinsic knowledge. By making these distinctions Kant immediately alerts the reader that he finds morality and ethics to be metaphysical in nature. In other words, he finds some human concepts are simply consistent within themselves and must be excepted as such. For Kant, then, ethics, and therefore reason, are part of the human condition and have certain qualities that are Read the Entire Essay.

Paper Abstract: Argues that Kant's moral theory is based on his concept of the good will. Discusses Kant's definition of the good will & moral consciousness. Paper Introduction: The moral theory of Immanuel Kant is based on his concept of the good will. For Kant, moral knowledge is a prior, or existing before and in spite of the fact. That is, there are moral precepts which determine how men ought to behave, and these precepts do not depend on actual behavior. Instead, there are truths, moral precepts, which are to be applied to all behavior. We might say that we ought to tell the truth, for instance, and this tells us how to behave. Even if we all tell lies, though, this does not change the fact that we ought to tell the truth, so the precept does not depend on our behavior. We need not even be aware of the moral precept for it to be valid and applicable. Our moral knowledge and the moral precepts we seek to understand have their origin in the practical reason, which is reason in its practical, or moral, function. Read the Entire Essay.

Paper Abstract: Examines views on freedom, will, duty, morality, reason, reality. Paper Introduction: In Grounding for the Metaphysics of Morals, Immanuel Kant in Section Three discusses his concept of freedom, beginning with the idea of the will as a kind of causality. The idea that freedom is perfect rationalism is expressed by Kant, and Kant indeed indicates how some actions are determined while others are subject to free will. He shows that those that are performed out of free will are ethically superior. Thus, Kant connects his idea of freedom to his idea of moral duty. Kant distinguishes between acts that are performed out of duty and acts which are performed for the sake of duty, holding that those acts performed in accordance with duty but not from duty have no moral worth. In making this distinction, Kant is setting forth a moral principle in keeping with his view that morality does not derive from nature but from the mind, and it is what is intended that is Read the Entire Essay.

Paper Abstract: Critical analysis of work on subjectivity & objectivity of aesthetic & ethical judgments, compared to Kant's other works, reason, dualism, form & functiuon. Paper Introduction: The purpose of this research is to explore Immanuel Kant's claim in Critique of Judgment that judgments of taste claim a subjective universality, meaning that when we call something beautiful we are reporting a subjective response, not an objective property, and are judging it as all persons should. The plan of the research will be to set forth the context in which the Critique of Judgment may be understood (with reference to the Critique of Pure Reason and the Critique of Practical Reason), and then to discuss how Critique of Judgment derives its assessment of the beautiful in a way that both complements and extends the range of meanings in the earlier works. Throughout, reference will be made to the role of rational processes and experience in mediating, explaining, or otherwise making connections that have the effect of illustrating the systematic cohes Read the Entire Essay.

Paper Abstract: Ideas on causal sequence of phenomena, freedom, moral action, inclination & duty. Paper Introduction: Immanuel Kant entered the realm of speculative cosmology, which he saw as centering on the idea of the world as the totality of the causal sequence of phenomena. In this way, he addressed what he saw as a conflict between ideas about human freedom and the general explanation of causality as offered by science. The issues raised included a concern for the meaning of human freedom, an understanding of how the human mind works, and a consideration of what this meant for moral reasoning. The speculative cosmologist attempts to extend his or her knowledge of the world by means of synthetic a priori propositions. Kant stats, though, that this procedure leads to antimonies, and these arise when each of two contradictory propositions can be proved. If it is true that speculative cosmology leads to antimonies, then it must be assumed that its Read the Entire Essay.

Paper Abstract: Philosophical significance & analysis of space & time as [a] [priori] intuitions. Paper Introduction: The purpose of this research is to examine the philosophical notions of space and time as a priori intuitions as explicated by Kant. The plan of the research will be to set forth the context for the importance of Kant's thesis that space and time are a priori intuition, and then to discuss the relevance of such a thesis to a claim that space and time are not properties or relations of things as they exist in themselves. As appropriate, Kant's arguments specifically against a relational or an absolute theory of space and time will be cited, with a view toward showing how these arguments are connected to Kant's individual space and time arguments in his elaboration of transcendental idealism. Kant sets forth complex arguments of the authentic nature of space in time in pursuit of an understanding and elaboration of Read the Entire Essay.

Paper Abstract: Approaches & problems of two philosophical schools in morality. Differences, similarities & alternative approach combining both. Paper Introduction: This study will examine Utilitarianism and Kantian ethics in an attempt to devise an alternative approach to ethics using both philosophical schools. The study will first discuss the problems facing both schools. There was a basic dispute about a problem of utilitarianism which emerged from within the school itself. Bentham was accused by Mill of having devised a system which was grounded in the lower or physical pleasures. The intricate system of measurement suggested by Bentham is indicative of the materialistic nature of his philosophy. Bentham suggested that the pleasure or pain upon which the ethics of an act and its consequences were to be based and assessed could be accurately measured by considering seven elements: "its intensity, its duration, its certainty or uncertainty, its propinquity or remoteness, its fecundity, its purity, Read the Entire Essay.

Paper Abstract: Mill's based on feeling & concern for others, Kant's based purely on reason. Concludes Kant's philosophy is deficient. Paper Introduction: The purpose of this paper is to define, explain and compare Immanuel Kant's and John Stuart Mill's philosophies of "duty." Where Kant's was based purely on reason, Mill's was based on feeling and concern for others. The research will conclude with an analysis of the philosophies' strength and, particularly, whether Kant's theories have stood the test of time. Kant (1724-18O4) is commonly thought to have been the greatest philosopher in the history of modern philosophy (Schacht 221). A popular lecturer at the university in Konigsberg, located in the Soviet Union, his influence has been enormous though most of his great works were written after he was fifty years old. Since his death, a great deal of Western philosophy has been viewed as an attempt to come to terms with him, either by challenging his contentions on various issues, or by Read the Entire Essay.

Paper Abstract: Discusses philosopher's investigation into free will & determinism, natural law, causality, empiricism, transcendental idealism in [Critique of Pure Reason]. Paper Introduction: KANT'S THIRD ANTINOMY In his Critique of Pure Reason, Kant effectively settles the question of the compatibility of free will and determinism. First, he explains the antimony which plagues reason; then, he discusses the fallacy that reason commits by confusing the crucial distinction established by transcendental idealism between appearances and things in themselves; next, he shows how this distinction supports the claim that the causality of natural law and the causality of freedom are compatible; finally, he examines the implications of this compatibility for human actions and morality. Kant convincingly argues both for the thesis that free will and natural law are compatible and for the antithesis, which claims only natural laws determine events.

Paper Abstract: An examination of his third formula through an analysis of the 4 illustrations he uses to prove his point. Paper Introduction: This paper will examine the third formula of Kant's categorical imperative by scrutinizing the four illustrations he uses to prove his point. The categorical imperative is an attempt at a formal law which, if followed, will dictate and result in moral action. In the third formula of the categorical imperative Kant states that one must: "Act in such a way that you always treat humanity, whether in your own person or in the person of any other, never simply as a means, but always at the same time as an end." According to Kant this rule should fit any moral situation and any situation which does not fit this formula cannot be moral. It is this contention - that he has found a set of absolute guidelines - which will be questioned. As a means, for it will be shown here that they are not ends in themselves, of supporting his third formula Kant employs four Read the Entire Essay.
