Immanuel Kant Song

- Let us first divide cognition into rational analysis
and sensory perception (which Descartes considered valueless).
Now reason gives us concepts which are true but tautological;
sensation gives us images whose content is phenomenal.
Whatever greets our senses must exist in space and time
for else it would be nowhere and nowhen and therefore slime;
the space and time we presuppose before we sense reality
must have innate subjective transcendental ideality.
Thus space and time
are forms of our perception
whereby sensation's synthesized in orderly array;
the same must hold
for rational conception:
in everything we think, the laws of logic must hold sway.
But a problem here arises with respect to natural science:
while empirical in method, on pure thought it lays reliance.
Although for Newton's findings we to Newton give the glory
Newton never could have found them if they weren't known a priori.
We know that nature governed is by principles immutable
but how we come to know this is inherently inscrutable;
that thought requires logic is a standpoint unassailable
but for objects of our senses explanations aren't available.
So let's attempt
to vivisect cognition
by critical analysis in hope that we may find
the link between
pure thought and intuition:
a deduction transcendental will shed light upon the mind.
You may recall that space and time are forms of apprehension
and therefore what we sense has spatiotemporal extension;
whatever is extended is composed of a plurality
but through an act of synthesis we form a commonality.
If we are to be conscious of a single concrete entity
each part of its extension must be given independently
combining in a transcendental apperceptive unity
to which I may ascribe the term "self-conscious" with impunity.
The order of
our various sensations
arises from connections not beheld in sense alone;
our self creates
the rules of their relations
and of this combination it is conscious as its own.
While these rules correspond to scientific causal laws
the question of their constancy remains to give us pause;
but once we recollect the source of our self-conscious mind,
to this perverse dilemma a solution we may find.
The self is nothing but its act of synthesis sublime;
this act must be the same to be self-conscious over time.
The rules for combination of its selfhood form the ground
so what we perceive tomorrow by today's laws must be bound.
These constant laws
whereby we shape experience
are simply those which regulate our reason: that is plain.
So don't ask why
the stars display invariance --
the Cosmos is produced by your disoriented brain!
Hmm...I don't know if I am following you 100% here...
interesting.....
7 years later and this is still the best philosophy song
I had to take a hardcore Kant class in my second semester at a school that made a point of not using secondary sources and having super intimidating oral exams in the professor's office. Not gonna lie, this jingle was my organising principle in front of the jury. I feel I should give half of my 95% to the genius that wrote this.
...
why is It always the ugly idealist that gets all the semesters?! I am disgusted beyond repair!
Absolutely amazing, making a song out of one of the most cryptic texts in philosophy is no walk in the park. You must make more songs.
Immanuel Kant (22 April 1724 - 12 February 1804) was a German philosopher who is a central figure in modern philosophy.
Kant argues that the human mind creates the structure of human experience, that reason is the source of morality, that aesthetics arises from a faculty of disinterested judgment, that space and time are forms of human sensibility, and that the world as it is "in-itself" is independent of humanity's concepts of it.
Kant took himself to have effected a "Copernican revolution" in philosophy, akin to Copernicus' reversal of the age-old belief that the sun revolves around the earth.
Kant's beliefs continue to have a major influence on contemporary philosophy, especially the fields of metaphysics, epistemology, ethics, political theory, and aesthetics.
Politically, Kant is one of the earliest exponents of the idea that perpetual peace could be secured through universal democracy and international cooperation.
He believed that this will be the eventual outcome of universal history, although it is not rationally planned.
The exact nature of Kant's religious ideas continues to be the subject of especially heated philosophical dispute, as viewpoints are ranging from the idea that Kant was an early and radical exponent of atheism who finally exploded the ontological argument for God's existence, to more critical treatments epitomized by Nietzsche who claimed that Kant had "theologian blood" and that Kant was merely a sophisticated apologist for traditional Christian religious belief, writing that "Kant wanted to prove, in a way that would dumbfound the common man, that the common man was right: that was the secret joke of this soul."
In one of Kant's major works, the Critique of Pure Reason (Kritik der reinen Vernunft, 1781), he attempted to explain the relationship between reason and human experience and to move beyond the failures of traditional philosophy and metaphysics.
Kant wanted to put an end to an era of futile and speculative theories of human experience, while resisting the skepticism of thinkers such as David Hume.
Kant regarded himself as ending and showing the way beyond the impasse which modern philosophy had led to between rationalists and empiricists, and is widely held to have synthesized these two early modern traditions in his thought.
Kant argued that our experiences are structured by necessary features of our minds.
In his view, the mind shapes and structures experience so that, on an abstract level, all human experience shares certain essential structural features.
Among other things, Kant believed that the concepts of space and time are integral to all human experience, as are our concepts of cause and effect.
One important consequence of this view is that our experience of things is always of the phenomenal world as conveyed by our senses: we do not have direct access to things in themselves, the so-called noumenal world.
Kant published other important works on ethics, religion, law, aesthetics, astronomy, and history.
These included the Critique of Practical Reason (Kritik der praktischen Vernunft, 1788), the Metaphysics of Morals (Die Metaphysik der Sitten, 1797), which dealt with ethics, and the Critique of Judgment (Kritik der Urteilskraft, 1790), which looks at aesthetics and teleology.
Thank you captain obvious
Lol jk
OLD M to phrase Kant’s ideas in a non-obtuse summary is a thing that enables more people to engage with his ideas and/or become more intrigued by them and thus read his works. I wish my professors were as direct as this comment about his works and ideas. Simplicity is a useful step towards understanding complexity
Thank you... you forgot to use the word "ugly neoplatonist" in there
This is absolutely amazing! Not only that, I understood everything! I'm currently writing my masters thesis on Kant's transcendental dialectic in book two of the Critique of Pure Reason. I loved this, and I am definitely showing it to all my philosophy friends! Thank you so much for this!
N I CE !
i started my p.hd in philosophy. Your Comment is 7 years old what means either you killed yourself by now or you teach philosophy. Eitherway a sad outcome. But who cares about philosophers. if it matters i also wrote a long paper about this topic and i can tell you in very philosophical terms, that his deduction of the objective principles of will is totally nonesense. And believe me i am german, we read the stuff in the original german language (what makes it much harder than reading the easy english translations)
@@wolflarsen1900 So you have a p.hd in philosophy, and the only thing you can say about Kant is "totally nonsense" ? I think you wasted your time, buddy
That is possibly the most beautiful thing I have heard today.
Then again, I am a shut-in. :(
So pleasant and easy. In "the cosmos is produced by your disoriented brain", I'd substitute 'mind' for 'brain', were it not for the rhyme. 'Brain' sounds unKantian....
Listen to the 21st century monads!
you still alive that's cool btw William lane Craig been stealing all ur arguments
Bringing out a thesaurus with this one 🔥🔥
this is insane
This is actually genius. God bless you. Wish the human species was smart enough to enjoy too
I was doing some readings on Philosophy of Science and I found this. Made my day!
Hare Krishna. This is truly brilliant. And to play piano and sing as well, it is fantastic.
I first watched this in 2008... But this upload was made by Leibniz!!!!
My roommate and I wrote this in college!
Did you write anything else similar?
@@thoughtheglass Nothing quite of this sort.
I've come to listen to this song after many years of first discovering it (and many more from taking an interest to politics and economics), just to discover it what you, Dr. Long, who had written it all along. Truly astounding. Big fan of your work.
I Kant believe this. Awesome ❤
This is great! You've gotta do more philosophers.
I thought that someone made an Immanuel Kant song. I didn't think that this was real
Bro spitting bars 🔥
Thanks for posting. Great song. :)
Beautiful
By God. I wish I could give five likes!
Love it! Recomend to listen at 1.25 or 1.5 speed :D
i watch everything at 1.5x speed. i dont even notice myself adjusting the settings anymore, i do it automatically. when i put this video back down to regular speed, it was so slowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww
`this is actually not a bad summary of the first critique
A correct observation
Amazing
See a priori knowledge is very important. We need experimental scientists to present us empirical evidence and "armchair" philosophers to theorize.
Our minds are like what they serve at the Waffle Iron Cafe. Order scones, flap jacks, crepes or french toast, everything is coming up waffles.
Genius analogy
Gracias gracias gracias estaba segura y estoy aún más de que mi descendencia verdadera viniera a poner orden
Brillant! Brillant! Brillant!
bravísimo!
Nietzsche song please. That would be 10/10.
Yes now here is a over man who knows what he is talking about... not like this ugly idealist over here. Look at him trying to smash empiricism with rationalism together by puling unfalsifiable Platonian bullshit out of his rear.Ha! I mock his epistemology! Don't get me started on his morals. I have a duty to not speak foolish. He is ugly by the way
Sublime
omg this is soooooooooooo genius! hahaha
Amazing!
Wow
I'm here because of my philosophy teacher
nice
Crucial.
Mmm...
Finaly a ubermench who is not an ugly idealist but instead a handsome free thinker! You have a nice moustache by the way
bravo!
So to speak.
Even a Friedrich Nietzsche song would suffice.
Let us first divide our morals into slavehood and their masters, and Christian dogmatism, which Nietzsche considered disastrous 🎶
my freinds response when i played it to him and someone who was thinking of doing a philosophy degree
This isn't very helpful for a beginner, if I may be a bit pedantic. It rmisrepresents Kant as an empirical Idealist - the very reason why he wrote a second edition of the first Kritik. It only deals with the Aesthetic and the Deduction really, skips plenty of important details and ignores the Dialectic entirely. But most of all this Kritik was only a preparation for his ethics, so everything here gets its context from his second and third Kritiken. Kant would barely have recognised this portrait of his book, and what he would have recognised he would have rejected. It is highly representative, however, of usual English speaking reception of Kant.
This song lays out the basic framework of which to hang the context of kant's ideology.
If you understand that reason is bound by logic unattached by reality, and that sense perceptions are distorted by your cognitive structures of which your mind has no control over, you can quickly learn that the self is an illusion produced by a synthesis of unsubstantiated experiences.
Since god constructed the structures of your experiences as well as the rules of logic, your mind is not a credible source of truth
Study Kant and then study the bible.
True, but also, it's a song, not an article :) It's amazing the amount of stuff that he managed to put into it with such a great result
@@justifiably_stupid4998 Totally backwards. Truth or falsehood is the result of a logical operation, not an empirical one. Logical operations imply the use of reason, which is entirely mental. Therefore your mind is *the only possible* source of truth. Kant said that truths arrived at this way cannot be guaranteed to correspond to "really real reality independent of experience", but further, that the whole concept of "really real reality independent of experience" is an incoherent concept in the first place.
He is an ugly idealist who pulled unfalsifiable shit out of his rear you know... he is also ugly like Socrates the foul sophist. In all seriousness don't defend him tho because German idealism is the worst thing to happen to epistemology sence the birth of Plato.
Very cool
Sounds a lot like Molly Drake's "I Remember"
applause
I'd love a Socrates song. :(
No! For he is an ugly sophist!
haha.. amazing : D...
So sad he never loved music.
I love philosophy!
Kant doesn't
Good video. :-P
no hay traduccion??
:) .. sad thing.. i understand most of it.. lol i have to much free time
Why is that sad?
The first step in overcoming hagel is making a commitment to never reading hagel.
The first step in understanding Kant is youtubing kantian musicals.
@@justifiably_stupid4998 Haha got the reference
Who wrote/performed this song?
O wait, apparently Paul L. Fine.
+Victor Gijsbers Do you have the sheets?!
+Bart Beek Nope!
So this is where Cardi B gets inspiration.
This song is my proof of the correctness of Ayn Rand.
Why did you change the channel name Gottfried Leibniz to Tacotopia chess
Hoping this song would get me rocking and rolling; wheeling and dealing - instead it's a ragtime/jazz . #immanuelkant #gottfriedleibniz #museumofthemind #rationalanalysis #sensoryperception
Now let's do a lip dub!
Any chance of me being able to download the sheets?
me too please
