Real Repugnance and our Ignorance of Things-in-Themselves: A Lockean Problem in Kant and Hegel

نویسنده

  • Andrew Chignell
چکیده

Kant zufolge muss ein Subjekt, um Wissen von einem Objekt zu erlangen, in der Lage sein zu „beweisen“, dass das Objekt real möglich sei, d.h. zu beweisen, dass es zwischen seinen Eigenschaften weder eine logische Inkonsistenz noch einen „realen Widerspruch“ gebe. Dies ist zwar (gewöhnlich) einfach im Hinblick auf empirische Objekte, aber im Hinblick auf einzelne Dinge an sich selbst (gewöhnlich) unmöglich zu erfüllen. Im ersten Abschnitt des Aufsatzes zeige ich, dass sich eine Version der Kantischen Auffassung bezüglich unserer Unwissenheit hinsichtlich der realen Möglichkeit – sowie eine Version seiner Antwort darauf – bereits in Lockes Essay findet. Im zweiten Abschnitt diskutiere ich die Art und Weise, in der diese „modale Bedingung“ zumindest zum Teil Kants berühmtes Verdikt gegen die Erkenntnis von Dingen an sich selbst motiviert. Im letzten Abschnitt untersuche ich Hegels Versuche, das Problem des realen Widerspruchs zu lösen und dadurch ein überkommenes Hindernis für das spekulative Wissen vom Übersinnlichen zu beseitigen.

CHAPTER 7 Real Repugnance and Belief about Things - in - Themselves : A Problem and Kant ’ s Three Solutions

Kant famously claims that it can be rational to accept propositions on the basis of non-epistemic or broadly practical considerations, under certain circumstances, even if those propositions include “transcendental ideas” of supersensible objects. But he also worries about how such “ideas” (of freedom, the soul, noumenal grounds, God, the kingdom of ends, things-in-themselves generally) acquire...

Hegel’s Ethics

My purpose in this article is not to offer any original insights into Hegel’s ethics, but merely to provide a brief overview that draws upon the most reliable secondary sources.

Following this, there is a brief account of the relation between Hegel’s ethical and religious thought. Hege...

Modal Motivations for Noumenal Ignorance: Knowledge, Cognition, and Coherence

My goal in this paper is to show that Kant’s prohibition on certain kinds of knowledge of things-in-themselves is motivated less by his anti-soporific encounter with Hume than by his new view of the distinction between “real” and “logical” modality, a view that developed out of his reflection on the rationalist tradition in which he was trained. In brief: at some point in the 1770’s, Kant came ...

Dynamical behavior of a stage structured prey-predator model

In this paper, a new stage structured prey-predator model with linear functional response is proposed and studied. The stages for prey have been considered. The proposed mathematical model consists of three nonlinear ordinary differential equations to describe the interaction among juvenile prey, adult prey and predator populations. The model is analyzed by using linear stability analysis to ob...
