Book excerpt: La presente tesis doctoral,titulada Kant's notion of a transcendental schema: the constitution of objective knowledge between epistemology and psychology, pretende entender y evaluar histórica y críticamente la función del capítulo de Kant sobre el esquematismo transcendental. He decidido dedicar mi trabajo a la noción del esquema por varias razones. En primer lugar, aunque varios críticos niegan su importancia y sugieren que el esquematismo es un capítulo redundante e innecesario en la Crítica de la Razón Pura, yo creo que lo más conveniente estratarde descubrir si Kant atribuyeuna función a este capítulo. En segundo lugar, el problema del esquematismo, o sea la aparente imposibilidad de la aplicación de conceptos puros a las intuiciones, necesita ser clarificado. Si la filosofía de Kant, en sentido crítico, debe aclarar los problemas, el esquematismo es su parte fundamental, puesse ocupa exactamente de la cuestión de como mediar la distinción entre los aspectos intelectual y sensible en la cognición. En tercer lugar, creo que es importante examinar la historia de los términos filosóficos: a menudo los filósofos usantérminos que provienen de diferentes campos de la práctica o del saber humano y atribuyen a estos términos nuevos significadosacorde a las cuestiones que pretenden resolver, creando, así, un lenguaje técnico. Kant atribuye a 'esquema' (término usadocon anterioridadsobretodo en la retórica, la lógica y la psicología) un significado determinado,y usa esa noción para indicar (que se trata de) un método parecido a la construcción en matemática. Finalmente, si la filosofía se considera desde un punto de vista crítico, como una meta-investigación sobre las condiciones de posibilidad de las varias disciplinas, entonces el caso del esquematismo es un ejemplo interesante de las dificultades e importancia de discriminar entre los varios ámbitos del conocimiento: unas interpretaciones (interpretan/tratan) el esquematismo como un tema propio de la psicología más que de la filosofía, y Kant mismo (usa con soltura, se desenvuelve en el uso de) una terminología psicológica en el capítulo. Si es así, cual es la relación entre filosofía y psicología? El presente trabajo consta de dos partes principales. En la primera, el primer capítulo se focaliza en los significados de 'esquema' (según) los filósofos antecedentes a Kant,y el segundo, en las óperas precríticas. El tercero introduce el lector a los capítulos que preceden el esquematismo en la Crítica de la Razón Pura,o sea la "Analítica Transcendental" y la "Deducción Transcendental"; el cuarto capítulo analiza el contenido del capítulo de Kant sobre el esquematismo, mientras que el quinto considera unas de las mayores criticas dirigidas a la doctrina de Kant con el fin de determinar la función de estecapítulo tan controvertido. En la segunda parte, el primer capítulo presenta una panorámica general de la herencia filosófica del esquematismo de Kant, teniendo en particular cuenta las (percepciones/interpretaciones/obras/ideas?) de los idealistas, los post Kantianos y los mayores filósofos del tardío siglo XIX e inicios del siglo XX, como Bergson, Husserl, Heidegger y Horkheimer. El segundo capítulo se centra en la distinción de Kant entre filosofía (en la que el esquema asume un valor sistemático de gran importancia) y psicología, y además considera la interpretación de Kitcher de la doctrina de Kant como psicología transcendental. El tercero y último capítulo considera la herencia psicológica delesquematismo de Kant, presentando las teorías delesquema en Piaget, Bartlett y Barsalou.

Download or read book Kant and the Capacity to Judge written by Béatrice Longuenesse and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2020-06-16 with total page 438 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Kant claims to have established his table of categories or "pure concepts of the understanding" according to the "guiding thread" provided by logical forms of judgment. By drawing extensively on Kant's logical writings, Béatrice Longuenesse analyzes this controversial claim, and then follows the thread through its continuation in the transcendental deduction of the categories, the transcendental schemata, and the principles of pure understanding. The result is a systematic, persuasive new interpretation of the Critique of Pure Reason. Longuenesse shows that although Kant adopts his inventory of the forms of judgment from logic textbooks of his time, he is nevertheless original in selecting just those forms he holds to be indispensable to our ability to relate representations to objects. Kant gives formal representation to this relation between conceptual thought and its objects by introducing the term "x" into his analysis of logical forms to stand for the object that is "thought under" the concepts that are combined in judgment. This "x" plays no role in Kant's forms of logical inference, but instead plays a role in clarifying the relation between logical forms (forms of concept subordination) and combinations ("syntheses") of perceptual data, necessary for empirical cognition. Considering Kant's logical forms of judgment thus helps illuminate crucial aspects of the Transcendental Analytic as a whole, while revealing the systematic unity between Kant's theory of judgment in the first Critique and his analysis of "merely reflective" (aesthetic and teleological) judgments in the third Critique.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Henry E. Allison presents an analytical and historical commentary on Kant s transcendental deduction of the pure concepts of the understanding in the Critique of Pure Reason. He argues that, rather than providing a new solution to an old problem (refuting a global skepticism regarding the objectivity of experience), it addresses a new problem (the role of a priori concepts or categories stemming from the nature of the understanding in grounding this objectivity), and he traces the line of thought that led Kant to the recognition of the significance of this problem in his 'pre-critical' period. Allison locates four decisive steps in this process: the recognition that sensibility and understanding are distinct and irreducible cognitive powers, which Kant referred to as a 'great light' of 1769; the subsequent realization that, though distinct, these powers only yield cognition when they work together, which is referred to as the 'discursivity thesis' and which led directly to the distinction between analytic and synthetic judgments and the problem of the synthetic a priori; the discovery of the necessary unity of apperception as the supreme norm governing discursive cognition; and the recognition, through the influence of Tetens, of the role of the imagination in mediating between sensibility and understanding. In addition to the developmental nature of the account of Kant s views, two distinctive features of Allison'sreading of the deduction are a defense of Kant s oft criticized claim that the conformity of appearances to the categories must be unconditionally rather than merely conditionally necessary (the 'non-contingency thesis') and an insistence that the argument cannot be separated from Kant s transcendental idealism (the 'non-separability thesis').

Download or read book Kant s Theory of A Priori Knowledge written by Robert Greenberg and published by Penn State Press. This book was released on 2001-03-28 with total page 294 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The prevailing interpretation of Kant’s First Critique in Anglo-American philosophy views his theory of a priori knowledge as basically a theory about the possibility of empirical knowledge (or experience), or the a priori conditions for that possibility (the representations of space and time and the categories). Instead, Robert Greenberg argues that Kant is more fundamentally concerned with the possibility of a priori knowledge—the very possibility of the possibility of empirical knowledge in the first place. Greenberg advances four central theses:(1) the Critique is primarily concerned about the possibility, or relation to objects, of a priori, not empirical knowledge, and Kant’s theory of that possibility is defensible; (2) Kant’s transcendental ontology must be distinct from the conditions of the possibility of a priori knowledge; (3) the functions of judgment, in Kant’s discussion of the Table of Judgments, should be seen according to his transcendental logic as having content, not as being just logical forms of judgment making; (4) Kant’s distinction between and connection of ordering relations (Verhaltnisse) and reference relations (Beziehungen) have to be kept in mind to avoid misunderstanding the Critique. At every step of the way Greenberg contrasts his view with the major interpretations of Kant by commentators like Henry Allison, Jonathan Bennett, Paul Guyer, and Peter Strawson. Not only does this new approach to Kant present a strong challenge to these dominant interpretations, but by being more true to Kant’s own intent it holds promise for making better sense out of what have been seen as the First Critique’s discordant themes.

Download or read book Comparing Kant and Sartre written by Sorin Baiasu and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-04-29 with total page 267 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For a long time, commentators viewed Sartre as one of Kant's significant twentieth-century critics. Recent research of their philosophies has discovered that Sartre's relation to Kant's work manifests an 'anxiety of influence', which masks more profound similarities. This volume of newly written comparative essays is the first edited collection on the philosophies of Kant and Sartre. The volume focuses on issues in metaphysics, metaethics and metaphilosophy, and explores the similarities and differences between the two authors, as well as the complementarity of some of their views, particularly on autonomy, happiness, self-consciousness, evil, temporality, imagination and the nature of philosophy.
Download or read book Kant s Model of the Mind written by Wayne Waxman and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 1991 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book argues that Kant's transcendental idealism has been misinterpreted: it denies not simply the super-sensory reality of space, time, and appearances, but their reality outside imagination as well. After adducing extensive and explicit textual evidence in its favor, Waxman shows this interpretation to be essential to the Transcendental Deduction, the affirmation of things in themselves, and the attempt to surmount Hume's scepticism. He further argues that Kant's much-neglected claim that, besides himself, "no psychologist has so much as even thought that the imagination might be a necessary constituent of perception," should be construed so that even our consciousness of sensation itself (visual, tactile, etc.) is impossible without imagination. A compelling and original contribution to Kantian scholarship, Kant's Model of the Mind will also bear close examination by students and scholars of Hume, the philosophy of mind, and the philosophy of science.

Download or read book Kant s Transcendental Deduction of the Categories written by Kenneth R. Westphal and published by Helsinki University Press. This book was released on 2021-04-07 with total page 118 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Immanuel Kant’s ‘Transcendental Deduction of the Categories’ addresses issues centrally debated today in philosophy and in cognitive sciences, especially in epistemology, and in theory of perception. Kant’s insights into these issues are clouded by pervasive misunderstandings of Kant’s ‘Deduction’ and its actual aims, scope, and argument. The present edition with its fresh and accurate translation and concise commentary aims to serve these contemporary debates as well as continuing intensive and extensive scholarship on Kant’s Critique of Pure Reason. Two surprising results are that ‘Transcendental Deduction’ is valid and sound, and it holds independently of Kant’s transcendental idealism. This lucid volume is interesting and useful to students, yet sufficiently detailed to be informative to specialists.
