1. Kant is a notoriously difficult philosopher to read. After reading through his Preamble and listening try to restate Kant’s argument that metaphysics, as it has traditionally been done, is actually impossible. It may help to begin where Kant begins: with the problem of rationalism vs. empiricism.
2. In a famous passage, Zhuangzi uses the example of dreaming to illustrate how knowledge depends on one’s perspective. Briefly explain how he does so, and relate the epistemology Zhuangzi seems to be suggesting with the epistemology Plato develops in his cave allegory. How is Zhuangzi’s version different?
