Trying to get to Shelley's Mont Blanc, we spend another whole class on Kant, and on the structure of appearance. How this leads to a Kantian idea of the will. Relation of Kant to Pascal: in Kant you don't just decide to believe in God, because of the incentive to do so: you believe in the freedom of your will because of your duty to do so, a duty which presumes that freedom because it is a duty to presume that freedom. Next: The Sublime.
