and you can also check the last chapter of the Critique of Pure Reason, Chapter IV of the Transcendental Doctrine of Method, The History of Pure Reason, ... ...
As I've said, I take it that the difficulty in understanding reflective judgment begins with the case that it is bound up with the *much larger* question of...
The most obvious difference is that reflective judgment is the more encompassing term: it also encompasses aesthetic reflective judgment. Kant was thinking of...
Onno, The parting shot of the Critique, and the conclusion of the history of pure reason is that Phil gets on its feet with science /criticism, not "when it ...
Bruce, In the first couple of paragraphs to the History section of first critique Kant says that it is both theology and morality that first motivate...
Omar, This will by only a partial reply to your very suggestive post. While reason and Christianity may work hand in hand in Weber at the beginning of the...
If morality is rational, because born of reason, then in principle, it cannot come into conflict with the theoretical, which is also born of reason, at least...
This post is addressed to other lurkers on this list that perhaps maybe following this train of thought; and I say, that in my opinion, what is being discussed...
Bruce, Practical reason for Kant is a priori -- freedom -- not a posteriori, as if it is tied to some practice. It is, of course, tied to acting in accordance...
Hi all, I'd be very happy if you would comment on the following: With Kant's transcendental turn in the Critique of Pure Reason, our knowledge of phenomena was...
Could you speak to how Popper's falsifiability manages its trick of falsifying a theory without some kind of appeal to sensible independence of thought? "A....
If philosophy is, as Kant defines it, a teleology of human reason (teleologia rationis humanae), then Critical or Transcendental Philosophy is in some sense...
Onno, Well perhaps we agree, somewhat? Insofar as I find that the primacy of the practical resolves to the primacy of freedom. Since it is by virtue of being...
Kant's most extensive history of philosophy that I've come upon is in the Jasche Logic. AA 9.27-33. Notable because Kant spends so much time on pre-modern...
Kant describes this well in his quote at the end of Practical Reason, about the stars and the moral law within. I see Kant's view as being scientific in the...
Kant is not an idealist in the manner of those who followed the path that he created. I see him as a realist, that is, one who views the entity of what is in...
What's in question is the embedded motivations to scientific philosophizing, which are already embedded, in potentia, in reason. Moral-Teleological reflective...
I've always found this statement by a great mind_the one who thinks, acquires understanding, and the other which is understood_ to be founded in what Kant...
The 1885 translation of the Logic by T. K. Abbott might be in the public domain, and so on the web. If so, you'll find this section in IV within the ...
Onno (and Omar, and anyone...) Concerning the history of prior metaphysics, Kant repeatedly relies upon a chronology of 1) dogmatic conflict (esp. the...
Bruce, What is it that guides reason to its antinomies? Underlying all is a teleological reflective judgment whose own illusion, in different forms, creates...
My contention is that Kant employs his teleological reflective judgment as a tool of metaphilosophy, or as identical with the transcendental perspective, and...
Omar, Yes, these unfurling synoptic sentences are commendably Germanic, but I don't see how they bear upon the chronology that I'm concerned with. As you know...
Omar, I take it that your global apprehension concerning Kant's reliance upon various ad hoc "facts of reason" pertains to his repeated recourse to an ...
