The infinite divisibility and multiplicity of creatures: Conway’s non-absolutist theory of space
Anne Conway (1631–1679) is argued to be a relationist about time and possibly a weak absolutist about space. We deny the latter, arguing that Conway invokes ‘creatures’ (one of three metaphysical primitives in her system) to construct her account of space, showing that space is not metaphysically prior to the creatures inhabiting it. This places her in a broader tradition of philosophers who reduce space and time to real properties of existing th…
Kant and the Divine: From Contemplation to the Moral Law. By Christopher J. InsoleKant and Religion. By Allen W. Wood
Although grasping attempts at secularization are bound to continue, Kant’s philosophy of religion has gained a secure foothold in mainstream Kant scholarship where it is rightly viewed by many as a vital part of his system demanding scholarly attention. Given the mistaken but lingering perception that Kant’s commitment to Enlightenment ideals precludes a robust role for the divine, such scholarly efforts are often preoccupied with providing a def…
Why Does Kant Think We Must Believe in the Immortal Soul
Making sense of Kant’s claim that it is morally necessary for us to believe in the immortal soul is a historically fraught issue. Commentators typically reject it, or take one of two paths: they either restrict belief in the immortal soul to our subjective psychology, draining it of any substantive rational grounding; or make it out to be a rational necessity that morally interested beings must accept on pain of contradiction. Against these inter…
Kant on space, time, and respect for the moral law as analogous formal elements of sensibility
To advance a successful reading of Kant's theory of motivation, his interpreter must have a carefully developed position on the relation between our rational and sensible capacities of mind. Unfortunately, many of Kant's commentators hold an untenably dualistic conception, understanding reason and sensibility to be necessarily conflicting aspects of human nature that saddle Kant with a rigoristic and fundamentally divided moral psychology. Agains…
