Packet 12: Tossup 21
Publishing one of these works ended a period often called a certain philosopher’s “silent decade.” A set of these works aimed to answer the three questions “What can I know?” “What should I do?” and “What may I hope?” An anonymously published work of this type, which argues that nothing that violates the moral law can be attributed to God, was initially mistaken for another philosopher’s fourth of them. One of these works titled for “All (*) Revelation” launched Johann Fichte’s career. One of these works divides a concept into “mathematical” and “dynamical” types and discusses the categories of agreeable, beautiful, sublime, and good. A work of this type uses the “transcendental aesthetic” to derive synthetic a priori knowledge. For 10 points, name this genre of Immanuel Kant’s books on “Judgment” and “Pure Reason.” ■END■
