Happy 300th Birthday Kant!
My judgement in a brief post: His metaphysics* was inspired, creative, highly-detailed—but flawed (wrong to assume part of Hume, corrected by Whitehead). His moral theory was terrible (see Schopenhauer). Fun to read him on aliens, Swedenborg, and peace.
A bit of Bergson.
I was introduced to Bergson's thought by Keith Ansell-Pearson at Warwick University some twenty years ago. Though I'm not fully in agreement with Bergson, I do believe that he is one of the most original thinkers of the past few centuries.
Currently enjoying Adam Toon's Mind as Metaphor, the first chapter of which will be discussed with him tomorrow in the new Mind and Metaphysics Group at Exeter.
Today begins the first module in our new course, the online PGCert in Psychedelics: Mind, Medicine, and Culture!
Thanks to the university team and the special guest lecturers for creating this new milestone.
