Reason's Form - Pippin on Kant

- Professor Robert Pippin (University of Chicago) gives a talk on Kant as part of a conference on the Nature of Normativity given at Goethe University Frankfurt in 2010. Kant’s theory of moral obligation is at the same time a theory of autonomy. According to Kant, true autonomy requires an agent’s subjection to the “form of pure practical reason”, and this subjection involves an unconditional obligation to obey what such a “form”, also famously called the Categorical Imperative, demands. Critics have long argued that such a subjection bears little relation to our moral experience, and that it leads to a rigoristic and empty, formalist morality. Pippin argues here that everything depends on how we understand what Kant means by the “form” of pure practical reason, and he attempts to explain Kantian formality by attention to how he understands the notion in his theoretical philosophy. The result is a picture of Kantian morality not as subject to these traditional objections.

I took Pippin's class on Nietzsche and Heidegger when I was an undergraduate in the late eighties. Most of it was over my head at the time and I ended up dropping the course. But I kept my copy of "Being and Time" and read it again several times since. It's kind of strange to me to see him give this lecture some twenty years later.
Thank you so much!
"Pippin on Kant" sounds like the title of a rap album.
Merry had a rejoinder, but he was too high on pipeweed and ale to show up.
Thank You👏❤️⭐️
...nebulousness
incarnate
Just reading without any explanation of such great difficult philosophers like Kant is of no use to any body
