Hegel, The Phenomenology of Spirit Introduction, Consciousness, Self-consciousness (paragraphs 73-230); Hegel's Logic: being part of the Encyclopaedia of the Philosophical Sciences paragraps 1-111; Introduction to Lectures on the Philosophy of History, as far as (but not including) The Geographical Basis of World History.

KANT, I., Critique of the Pure Reason. [To the end of the Transcendental Dialectic (A704/B732)] The recommended translations are: KANT, I., Critique of Pure Reason, translated by N. Kemp Smith, (London: Macmillan, 1929; Rev. 2nd ed., 2003). [Also available online at: www.hkbu.edu.hk/~ppp/cpr/toc/html] KANT, I., Critique of Pure Reason, translated by P. Guyer and A.W. Wood, (Cambridge Cambridge University Press, 1998). KANT, I., Critique of Pure Reason, translated by J. Bennett. [Available online only at: www.earlymoderntexts.com/f_kant.html] General Books The best place to start is: GARDNER, S., Routledge Philosophy Guide to Kant and the Critique of Pure Reason (London: Routledge, 1998). [Also available online at: www.mylibrary.com/?id=11042] Gardiner is useful for getting an initial feel for the work but it is too brief to provide a detailed treatment of many of the main issues. For that, the best overview is: ALLISON, H.E., Kant's Transcendental Idealism: An Interpretation and Defense. Rev. ed. (New Haven: Yale University Press, 2004). Note that you need the 2004 edition - it includes a detailed response to Allison's critics. Alternately, you can use one of the following: BIRD, G., ed., A Companion to Kant (Oxford: Blackwell, 2010). GUYER, P., ed., The Cambridge Companion to Kant (Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 2006). [Also available online at: http://cco.cambridge.org] WALKER, R.C.S., Kant (London: Routledge & Kegan Paul, 1978). Perhaps the main obstacle to understanding Kant's work is his terminology. The following provides a one or two page summary of the meaning of each of the main terms: CAYGILL, H., A Kant Dictionary (Oxford: Blackwell, 1995).

COURSE OUTLINE This course provides an opportunity for students to study three of the most widely influential philosophers of the modern period, thinkers whose effect on subsequent philosophy can scarcely be overestimated, and at the same time to acquaint themselves with the principal sources of the German philosophical tradition. Offered for study are certain central texts of Kant, Hegel and Nietzsche as listed above. All may be studied in English translation; knowledge of German is not essential. Prerequisites None Objectives Students taking this paper will be expected to: 1. 2. 3. 4. Acquire a detailed knowledge of the set texts by their chosen philosophers from the three listed. Be able to state the main doctrines expounded in these texts, and to be aware of their interrelations. Have some awareness of interpretative problems relating to these texts and doctrines. Be able critically to discuss these doctrines and the arguments used to support them.

SELECTED TOPICS The list below specify the relevant sections of Kant's text followed by some suggestions for secondary reading. Two points are worth noting. First, the secondary reading is divided into three classes as shown by the letter preceding the author's name: 'A' indicates introductory material, 'B' the main secondary reading and 'C' more advanced secondary material. Second, many people find it helpful to read the introductory secondary literature before tackling the primary text. Transcendental Idealism KANT, I., Critique of Pure Reason: .
