Kant’s Theory Of Geometry
Immanuel Kant&s;s argument from geometry is easier to state than it is to understand. Geometry, he says, offers people a body of propositions which combine some of the features of empirical propositions with some of the features of analytic propositions, but which are not themselves either analytic or empirical. To accept the positivist account of geometry is to deny the existence of Kant&s;s problem and so to remove the main theoretical support …
Space And Time
Identity, as well as existence, of particular instances of general concepts – that is, again, of those general concepts of which the particular instances, if any, are such as to be empirically encounterable – is bound up with space and time. In Immanuel Kant&s;s view people knowledge of geometrical truths, though dependent upon intuition, is independent of empirical intuition. It depends in no way upon observation of actual physical objects such …
General Review
The central problem of classical empiricism was set by the assumption that experience really offers us nothing but separate and fleeting sense-impressions, images and feelings. For Immanuel Kant rejected the basic empiricist dogma which Hume never questioned. He did not reject it in the spirit of naïve, or refined, common sense which has sometimes, in England, seemed to be the twentieth-century alternative to classical empiricism. If philosophy t…
The Logic Of Illusion
The basis of the systematic structure of illusion, as of knowledge, is held to lie in formal logic. Just as the experience-ordering concepts of understanding are correlated with the fundamental logical forms of statement, so the illusion-begetting ideas of reason are correlated with the fundamental forms of mediate deductive inference. The reader of the Critique is already very thoroughly prepared by the discussions of the Transcendental Analytic…
God
The quality of Immanuel Kant&s;s presentation of his own doctrines seems to suffer some deterioration as he approaches this subject. His dismissive analysis of the some "proofs" of God&s;s existence – the only possible three, according to him – has, at least superficially, an admirable crispness and clarity. The "demand of reason for the unconditioned" in the thesis of each of the dynamical antinomies explicitly takes the form of a demand for a f…
The Metaphysics Of Transcendental Idealism
Immanuel Kant faces the difficulties again and again in more cautious passages in the Aesthetic, in the Deduction, in the Paralogisms. He distinguishes between "original" self-consciousness and empirical self-consciousness. Of course, people must not assume that Kant would for a moment have regarded the included phenomenalistic idealism as tenable apart from the rest of the metaphysics of transcendental idealism. It is time to seek further enligh…
Cosmos
This chapter outlines the arguments in which Immanuel Kant claims to display the "conflicts of pure reason with itself", together with some standard, and some less standard, objections to those arguments. It re-presents the issues in a way as to show how one general form of "solution" is supposed to fit each of the "conflicts" concerned. The chapter discusses some interpretations of the general form of solution, each corresponding to a different …
Permanence And Causality
In the first Analogy Immanuel Kant has been professedly concerned with the general conditions of objective time-determination; and he has held that any determination involves objective permanence being somehow represented in perceptions which are themselves constantly changing. Kant proposes to use the truths to prove that certain principles of causality hold of any objects or objective events of which people can have any empirical knowledge thro…
Soul
The diagnosis of the sources of the illusion is that the rational psychologist, the Cartesian philosopher of the soul, confuses the unity of experiences with the experience of unity. The rational psychologist maintains that every man has immediate assurance of the existence of his own soul as immaterial substance, identical throughout the succession of its states. From the incoherence into which David Hume&s;s theory of the self thus lapses, and …
Objectivity And Unity
The idea of different premises encourages once more the analytical hopes which people seemed forced to suspend so long as the concept of "objectivity" figured among the premised features of experience. Immanuel Kant maintains that for representations thus to have an objective reference, it is necessary that they should possess or exhibit a certain unity or connectedness among themselves. Clearly the relations between the classifications are at le…
The Bounds of Sense
Peter Strawson (1919–2006) was one of the leading British philosophers of his generation and an influential figure in a golden age for British philosophy between 1950 and 1970. The Bounds of Sense is one of the most influential books ever written about Kant’s philosophy, and is one of the key philosophical works of the late twentieth century. Whilst probably best known for its criticism of Kant’s transcendental idealism, it is also famous for the…
Bounds of Sense
The Bounds of Sense is one of the most influential books ever written about Kant’s philosophy, and is one of the key philosophical works of the late Twentieth century. Although it is probably best known for its criticism of Kant’s transcendental idealism, it is also famous for the highly original manner in which Strawson defended and developed some of Kant’s fundamental insights into the nature of subjectivity, experience and knowledge. The book …
