Saddleback College Kantian Conceptual Framework Questions
Description
Pick and answer one question please
1. According to Kant, there is a key difference between analytic truths (e.g. a triangle has three sides) and synthetic truths (e.g. dogs are friendly). What is this distinction, exactly? Kant uses this distinction to launch his version of idealism- transcendental idealism. What is transcendental idealism, exactly? Is such idealism plausible, or not?
2. Hume, recall, insisted that morality (e.g. the rightness and wrongness of actions) is just our sentiments. So we make morality. Kant, rather, says there is an actual moral law (i.e. the same for all rational beings), that is discovered by us. We use his categorical imperative, moreover, to know this moral law. What is the categorical imperative? Does it allow us to discover the moral law, if there is one?
