PHIL 2020 Study Guide - Midterm Guide: Ancient Philosophy, Consistency, Consequentialism
Document Summary
Kant: ancient philosophy is separated into three parts: physics, ethics, and logic. The logical and the formal are retained regardless of whether or not you have performance. You need to have conditions before you have what depends on those conditions. When it comes to the objective (ex: pigs, tables, graham crackers) they have laws that aren"t always completely logical. These are things that are covered in real experience. Both natural and moral philosophy have experience in the world: material includes physics and ethics. Under logic is spectative, formal, and before experience. After experience, we have laws of nature or physical, and laws of freedom or ethics and morals. Before experience is pure reason: metaphysics goes under the material category. He uses morals to describe the laws of morality. He only pays attention to the laws of morality. He doesn"t necessarily care about the objects that embody these laws of morality. They depend on good will for their goodness.
