Kant: Anthropology from a Pragmatic Point of View (Week 2)

Details

Kant recognized the problems of reason as summarized in the following three questions:
What can I know?
What should I do?
What may I hope?

The first is addressed by metaphysics, the second by morals, and the third by religion. However, all of these questions are unified by the question: What is a human being? This question is addressed by Anthropology.
