Peikoff just had an unmatched level of clarity and humor during his working years. We are very fortunate to have so much of his material so readily available today. Thanks for that, ARI.
I believe he wrote, in quite some detail, about Kant's epistemology in 'The Objectivist', including a step-by-step breakdown of the Analytic-Synthetic Dichotomy. There is also a great deal in Introduction to Objectivist Epistemology.
There's the hackett version which is OK but still is more a process psychology i put the categories on the noumenal overdrive your brain into brief insanity how thst would help you understand and develop knowledge by cutting your brain in half? Complete changes your perception on reality nobody would take me seriously. Its just like the matrix....but they wrote philosophy abstractions in that period on the categories which are a thing that auto discharge you from the phenomenon reality, see things how they actually are. I'm surprised you haven't taught that yet.😊 and we just wanted to try. You go in this old roman church. You have to be on them to read it then you dont go insane. At least being and time.
Why is it called a "category"? The dictionary states that a category is a way to organize or classify. So what exactly is being classified here? The dictionary states that "categorical" means "without exceptions." If that's true, what is the etymology that makes "category" so different from "categorical" in meaning? Was the "categorical" meaning known before Kant, or has it entered the lexicon as a result of Kant's philosophy dominance?
"We now see that they [propositions] are either conditional or unconditional, or, as the logicians say, hypothetical (conditional) or categorical (unconditional)." - Robert Gordon Latham So we may understand as hypothetical imperatives as dependant upon whether you want something, but categorical imperatives you must follow no matter what you want. I know Aristotle wrote of "categories" i.e. entities and their attributes, but the precise etymology escapes me. Something tells me Leibniz may have something to do with it.

Very fine!
Hard to find good vids on Kant
The companion text is most fine
Thank you
This is a very clear exposition of Kant’s epistemology. It would be very nice to have it in a book form.

23:45 "That is the first step in the transcendental deduction" lmao
I CRIED
Superb lecture, succinct and precise.
Profusely informative , exquisite job
That was superb

Kant: I know reality before I know reality.
Kant is Plato in more obtuse language, which is quite impressive.
Rene Descartes: I think therefore I am.
Immanuel Kant: I Kant.
Kant: my consciousness is fabulous. Who needs reality?!

Peikoff and his "holes"...
