Thirteen Theories of Human Nature
Inspirations from Kant
Inspirations from Kant
These essays on Immanuel Kant's theoretical philosophy, besides deriving inspiration from him, bring insights from contemporary analytical philosophy to bear in interpreting some of his most deep and difficult themes. The topics covered include representation and reality, appearances and things in themselves, the given and synthesis, transcendental idealism, the limits of scientific explanation, knowledge, belief and faith, freedom of judgment, d…
A Two-Stage Life After Death
Synthetic Unities of Experience
Inspired by Kant, Merleau-Ponty and Sellars, I illustrate and identify certain kinds of unity which are typical (if not universal) features of our conscious experience, and argue that Kant was right to claim that such unities are produced by unconscious processes of synthesis: A perceptual experience of succession is not reducible to a succession of perceptual experiences. The experience of perceiving one object as having several features is not …

Existential Epistemology
In this study Professor Richardson introduces the existential phenomenology of Martin Heidegger, particularly as developed in his major work, Being and Time. Richardson's object is to show how Heidegger's ideas bear on the central problem in epistemology, that of how we are able to have objective knowledge. He presupposes no familiarity with Heidegger and adopts a practical approach to introduce the concepts and claims of his intricate system. Fr…

Immanent Transcendence
The form of this paper is unconventional. Just as composers sometimes want a change from the traditional sonata form and write a movement in the form of theme and variations, so I would like to depart from the orthodox form of philosophical paper, which contains a closely reasoned discussion of some particular problem, by stating a theme which will be a principle of pure logic, then sketching a number of applications of it in different areas of p…
