Kant on Abstraction and Things in Themselves
Throughout the Transcendental Aesthetic as well as elsewhere in the first Critique , Kant characterizes things in themselves in terms of abstraction: to consider things as they are in themselves is to consider them in abstraction from the conditions of our sensibility. Despite Kant’s frequent appeal to the notion of abstraction, the view that our talk of ‘things in themselves’ should be understood in terms of abstraction (‘the abstraction analysi…
Transcendental idealism and Kant's reconciliation of determinism and libertarianism
Kant famously argues that transcendental idealism allows us to solve the problem of free will. The basic outlines of the solution are as follows: while freedom and determinism are incompatible, we can consistently predicate them of one and the same being if we take the former to be a quality of the human being as it is in itself and the latter a quality of the human being as it appears. In this paper, I look at three different readings of transce…
Establishing the Existence of Things in Themselves
In the Critique of Pure Reason, Kant draws a distinction between appearances and things in themselves, characterizing the latter as uncognizable. While arguing that all we can cognize are appearances, Kant nevertheless maintains that there are things in themselves. This has struck many as questionable: how can we be in a position to affirm, of things stipulated to be uncognizable, that they exist? In this paper, I take up the challenge of establi…
Kant on Perception, Experience and Judgements Thereof
It is commonly thought that the distinction between subjectively valid judgements of perception and objectively valid judgements of experience in the Prolegomena is not consistent with the account of judgement Kant offers in the B Deduction, according to which a judgement is ‘nothing other than the way to bring given cognitions to the objective unity of apperception’. Contrary to this view, I argue that the Prolegomena distinction maps closely on…
