Bruce, paradoxically, these systematic wholes go in many directions, and thus compensate for the prejudices of any one. For example: one can reflect that there...
Omar, We disagree completely. The knowledge that we seek is true knowledge. Our interest in truth comes out of the problem of real-world problem of falsity,...
Onno, Could you say more about how and where "Kant handles the non-systematic." I gather that one of the problems that emerges in his aesthetics is dealing...
The third critique demonstrates that there is a capacity for universalization on the basis of both feeling and experience, both of which are in preparation for...
We agree. Knowledge is true knowledge. But truth and knowledge are not identical. What you describe speaks well to knowledge, in what Kant calls its...
i think omar's idea that for K truth is both correspondence, and a regulative ideal, is excellent - especially with the qualification that correspondence has...

Bill, Does the notion of coherence and Kant's notion that the understanding, through its categories, having aneffect on inner sense, correlate? The use of the...
Omar, I find that in Longuenesse's essay "The Transcendental Ideal and the Unity of the Critical System" she links the trans ideal to reflection, and also...
Her book, 'Kant and the capacity to judge' speaks more directly to aesthetic reflection. What is new in the third Critique is that Kant has identified a wider...
as i understand it, the categories are rules for conceptualizing, which are rules for connecting perceptions. connecting introduces unity into "the manifold...

Are you sure? In her index I find nothing under: beauty, taste, aesthetics, or judgment, aesthetic or reflection, aesthetic. In her table of contents I find no...
If I recall correctly there is a section which speaks to the third Critique directly, and the aesthetic reflection in particular. I will find out what I can...
Yes, there can be no direct connection, which is why the transcendental imagination comes into play, providing mediation. Now, one could rightly argue that the...
I understand objectivity to lie in the independent manifestation of the effect of the understanding on a different receptive capacity, sensibility. Omar ...
Unity by itself cannot constitute objectivity, unless that unity is realized in the given apriori manifold. That can happen only if the unity of apperception...
Bill, Please correct me in what follows: Why it can't be coherence: 1) Can't account for the effect of understanding on sensibility. What is it we apperceive?...
We forget that intuition receives not merely the world given to us from outside, but more importantly, where Critical philosophy is concerned, the world...
Bruce, page 163 of Longuenesse's book has a discussion about the "Unity of the Critique of Pure Reason and the Critique of Judgment". Could you check it out...
Omar, Skimming 163-6, I only find one point where she distinguishes aesthetic judgment from teleological judgment, on 164. En passant! The over-all theme here...
And what is the nature of that mediation? Exactly? Time determination. But that, right there, is the Catch-22 to the whole transcendental project. It is a...
I may have worded my question wrong. In the theoretical part of The Science of Knowledge it is called independent activity. There is a reference to something...
I'd like to raise a problem that has long been in question for Kant: how does he reconcile his claims for the separation of intuition and concept with their...
if we were talking about the brain mechanisms associated with Understanding and Sensibility, the notion of one faculty affecting another wouldnt be a problem,...
i don't understand some of what omar wrote, but i'd like to take a stab at how the intution-concept relation works. K thinks of there being (as a matter of...

What is the effect of the apriori understanding on inner sense? the first effect is time itself, as the form of intuition. We tend to think of time as coming...
BTW, I don't believe the understanding makes sensibility temporal. my disbelief isn't on textual grounds, but because i can't make sense of the notion. if...

Isn't this reconciliation addressed (Kant supposes) by the shematism? Which certainly relies upon the imagination. Bruce ... ............
a "schema" is sort of an abstract (mental) image, used for the empirical (sensory) application of categories. in fact, tho K doesn't say this, i think a...
