In this episode of Apex LevelToPower, we chat with actor Mark Pellegrino, Philosophy Professor Rick Repetti and former lecturer Jeffery Williams to discuss Ayn Rand’s criticism of Immanuel Kant.
Ayn Rand argued that Immanuel Kant built the case for Reason but left the back door open for faith, thus betraying his charge.
Is Rand’s critique of Kant fair?

SHOW NOTES:
“The man who . . . closed the door of philosophy to reason, was Immanuel Kant. . . .” – Rand
“Kant’s expressly stated purpose was to save the morality of self-abnegation and self-sacrifice. He knew that it could not survive without a mystic base—and what it had to be saved from was reason.” – Rand
