Reply to tim wood My friend, I have read Kant for years. I have read the Critiques, and the Groundwork. Yet trying to convey his thoughts to others (esp. with regards to pure practical reason). to enable real understanding, is a most arduous task.
Reply to tim wood Some of these Kantian ideas....I have noticed that many people need to keep them in their mind constant lest they appear wholly unintelligible. A student can have a reasonable understanding of what is going on (with regards to pure practical reason, for example) after spending an hour with them. YET, see the same student in 1 or 2 weeks after discussing Kant's ideas with them, and they are like "don't understand, explain again!" Although the notion of a "good will" seems to stick....it's just putting all the parts together as a cohesive whole. Thank you for your reference- I looked at that ages ago. Have you read Karl Amerik's works?- I found them extremely helpful too.
