KANT’S METAPHYSICS OF SUBJECTIVITY AND ASOUZU’S IDEA OF JOY OF BEING

Abstract

this paper attempt to x-ray the kernel of Kant’s metaphysics and Asouzu’s joy of being and expose their similarities or dissimilarities in their attempts to understand or make sense of reality. The point is made that, Asouzu presents a detailed approach to understanding of reality, which recognizes the relativity or dependence of being in their existence. While Kant, though recognizes the subjective/relative tendency of the human mind, accords to it the power to categorize and restructure reality according to its very nature. Thus, giving itself (the mind) an absolute place in the quest for truth or knowledge of reality.
