Introduction—the Plan for this Book and the Lay of the Land
The plan for the book is sketched, and a classification scheme for extant interpretations of Kant’s transcendental distinction between appearances and things in themselves is provided. The interpretation of Kant’s critical idealism that will be developed in the book, which is a version of the so-called classic two-world view, is presented in outline, and a brief overview of the history of the classic two-world view is given.
Kantian Things in Themselves, Leibniz-Wolffian Things in Themselves, and Fictionalism
An account is provided of how Kant’s apparent endorsement of fictionalism about things in themselves, as well as his apparent endorsement of the Leibniz-Wolffian conception of things in themselves, can be reconciled with the reading that he is a realist about things in themselves as characterized in critical idealism. In this context, the difference between Kantian things in themselves and noumena, that is, objects of the pure understanding, is e…
Kant’s Case for Transcendental Idealism and Empirical Realism
The foundational structure of, and Kant’s arguments for his transcendental idealism and empirical realism are analyzed. Special attention is paid to the ‘master argument’ in the Transcendental Aesthetic for the thesis that space and time are transcendentally ideal and nothing but forms of sensibility. A reconstruction of the master argument is provided, and each of its premises is examined in detail, including the especially important premise tha…
The Nature and Ontological Status of Appearances
It is shown that things in themselves and appearances are numerically distinct existents whose primary difference consists in that the former are mind-independent while the latter are mind-dependent, in a sense that is explicated in detail. On the proposed reading, the world, understood as the sum total of everything that has reality, comprises several levels of reality, most importantly, a mind-independent, transcendental level, at which things …
Concluding Postscript: The World According to Kant
This completes my account of Kant’s critical idealism, understood as an ontological position, as developed in the Critique and associated theoretical writings. According to Kant, the world, understood as the sum total of everything that has reality, comprises several levels of reality, most importantly, the transcendental level and the empirical level. The transcendental level is a mind-independent level at which Kantian things in themselves exis…
Things in Themselves and their Relation to Appearances
The theses that things in themselves exist and ground appearances by affecting sensibility are discussed, a discussion that includes an examination of the difference between the empirical and transcendental distinction between things in themselves and appearances and of the role of the analogy between secondary qualities and spatiotemporal determinations in Kant’s explanation of critical idealism. The relation between the transcendental and the e…

Bold critical idealism lies at the strong end of the spectrum of a range of critical idealist positions. Kant seems to believe that bold critical idealism

Kant’s Transcendental Idealism and Empirical Realism
The core claims of transcendental idealism are examined, according to which empirical objects and empirical selves are appearances and not things in themselves, and pure space and time are nothing but forms of sensibility. Kant is shown to be a relationalist about empirical space and time in holding that empirical space and time are constituted by the spatial and temporal determinations of empirical objects. Furthermore, it is explicated how Kant…
The World According to Kant: Appearances and Things in Themselves in Critical Idealism
The World According to Kant offers an interpretation of Immanuel Kant’s critical idealism, as developed in the Critique of Pure Reason and associated texts. Critical idealism is understood as an ontological position, which comprises transcendental idealism, empirical realism, and a number of other basic ontological theses. According to Kant, the world, understood as the sum total of everything that has reality, comprises several levels of reality…
Kant's Moral Metaphysics
This volume is a collection of eleven essays, nine of which are published for the first time. (Eric Watkins's essay first appeared in 2009, and much of Andrew Chignell's contribution reproduces material covered in two of his earlier papers from 2008 and 2010.) As the title of the volume suggests, the included articles are thematically unified in that they all concern aspects of what one might call “Kant's moral metaphysics,” that is, his views ab…
