I tend to separate it from his epistemology and ethics. Robert Bernasconi argues that Locke and Kant were very important racist influences on future theories of race. <br /><br />I only ask this b/c I imagine it came up while you were working in Philosophy and Black Studies.Murfmenschhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00031877154740991965noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5687347459208158501.post-8651166389079559552011-07-22T10:00:33.216-04:002011-07-22T10:00:33.216-04:00p.s.

Am I over-thinking it because of the capitalization, or is it too jargon?Michaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05781744385645937568noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5687347459208158501.post-70170332646215809382011-07-21T19:24:12.353-04:002011-07-21T19:24:12.353-04:00Chris, I think the Kemp-Smith translation is much ...Chris, I think the Kemp-Smith translation is much superior.

I had just finished Capital soni thought I could tackle the world!<br /><br />Anyway I just retarded the critique this week and am delighted it fortuitously lines up with your tutorial.<br /><br />I had two questions that I think might be giving me serious trouble with the book.<br />First, what do you think of the JMD Meiklejohn translation?<br />Second, no matter how many times I rereading the opening to the transcendental aesthetic, I have no frigging clue what he means by "intuition"!<br /><br />ThanksChrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08250295324149056708noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5687347459208158501.post-16852216169606035942011-07-21T16:27:04.338-04:002011-07-21T16:27:04.338-04:00This is fascinating, especially since my summer pr...This is fascinating, especially since my summer project was going to be to read through Hume's Essays (it's like a preview of what's coming next). Out of curiosity--since he's the philosopher mentioned of whom I know the least about--what Leibnizian ideas or texts would be most helpful to understanding Kant? Or can one just jump in?Michaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05781744385645937568noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5687347459208158501.post-73076208157196369612011-07-21T10:08:11.881-04:002011-07-21T10:08:11.881-04:00This is great.
