For Graduates.
Only one of the following courses will be given in any one session.
Philosophy D1.—(Open to students who have taken or are taking Philosophy
C1.) Empiricism and Rationalism. The empirical movement as
represented by Locke, Hume, and Mill, and the rationalistic movement as
represented especially by Descartes, Spinoza, and Leibniz, will be studied
with reference to their distinctive methods. Reading of texts and commentaries,
lectures, discussions, and essays. Professor Lefevre, Adjunct
Professor Balz.
Philosophy D2.—(Open to students who have taken or are taking
Philosophy C1.) The Critical Philosophy of Kant. The greater part of
the year will be devoted to the careful study of the Critique of Pure
Reason and the Critique of Practical Reason. Collateral reading of standard
commentaries and of selected recent literature on the subject will be
required. Special attention will be given to Kant's relation to previous
philosophical systems, to the development of his own philosophy, and to
the interrelation of his three Critiques. Reading of texts, lectures, discussions,
and reports. Professor Lefevre, Adjunct Professor Balz.
Further advanced work in Philosophy, including the critical study of
recent tendencies, will be arranged in accordance with the needs of individual
