Race, Culture, and the Horizons of Agency
Readers should be aware that content about Kant’s racism may be difficult and distressing to read. In various texts, Kant makes statements alleging that Indigenous Americans have ‘no culture’ and Black people possess only the ‘culture of slaves’. These are straightforwardly repugnant commitments. In order to address the role of Kant’s account of ‘culture’ in his racism and provide additional support to Charles Mills’ ‘ Untermensch (subhuman) inte…
What Mathematics and Metaphysics of Corporeal Nature Offer to Each Other
Kant famously distinguishes between the methods of mathematics and of metaphysics, holding that metaphysicians err when they avail themselves of the mathematical method. Nonetheless, in the Metaphysical Foundations of Natural Science , he insists that mathematics and metaphysics must jointly ground ‘proper natural science’. This article examines the distinctive contributions and unity of mathematics and metaphysics to the foundations of the scien…
A science for gods, a science for humans
Kant on Laws
Eric Watkins’s Kant on Laws collects together revised versions of his essays written over the last twenty-five years concerning Kant’s views on laws. In the book, not only does Watkins lay out insightful interpretations of the diversity of laws in Kant’s philosophy—both describing Kant’s accounts of laws of nature, teleology, regulativity, and morality and unraveling knotty issues surrounding them—but he furthermore espouses a concise, generic co…
Continuity of change in Kant’s dynamics
Rehabilitating the regulative use of reason
Kant on Chemistry and the Application of Mathematics in Natural Science
In his Metaphysische Anfangsgründe der Naturwissenschaft , Kant claims that chemistry is a science, but not a proper science (like physics), because it does not adequately allow for the application of mathematics to its objects. This paper argues that the application of mathematics to a proper science is best thought of as depending upon a coordination between mathematically constructible concepts and those of the science. In physics, the proper …
