Dear all, This term the Kant Reading Group will be discussing writings by Leibniz and early Kant on the epistemic role of the experience of beauty.
We will be meeting on Thursday afternoons from 1pm to 2:30 in the Philosophy Faculty Board Room, starting from next Thursday, the 23rd. Our first reading will be from Kant's The Only Possible Argument for the Existence of God (1763), Section 2, the First to the Third Reflections (2:93-108). In this section, Kant begins with a discussion of perceiving unity and harmony in nature, proceeds to draw theological implications and later discusses epistemology and scientific methodology. He thus seems to anticipate themes he will return to in the Third Critique, and which he is developing from Leibniz and Wolff.
