O objetivo deste artigo é questionar a legitimidade da intervenção determinante filosofia de Kant sobre Maine Biran. Sustentaremos, nesta pesquisa, que o biranismo não uma espécie kantismo e as oposições do filósofo francês ao alemão são mais contundentes aparentes compatibilidades entre elas. Para comprovar essa proposição, demonstraremos teses biranianas essencialmente biranianas, contestando...

In his graduate-seminar lectures on Kant—published as Kant and Pre-Kantian Themes (Sellars 2002)—Wilfrid Sellars argues that because Hume cannot distinguish between a vivacious idea and an idea of something vivacious he cannot account for the human ability to represent temporally complex states of affairs. The first section of this paper aims to show that this argument is not properly aimed at ...

place this naturalism in what I hope to be an illuminating historical context, to trace the status of the a priori through its various twists and turns, and eventually to draw some tentative conclusions about the naturalistic status of the a priori. To do this, I first return to Kant. While it's surely no surprise that an examination of the a priori should start from Kant, perhaps his relevance...

The book Kant and Applied Ethics: The Uses and Limits of Kant’s Practical Philosophy of Matthew C. Altman is a true refreshment in the world of Kantian scholarship. It is a deep exegetical achievement in reading of Kant’s thought and its actualisation for modern (bio)ethical problems at the same time. As it is noted in the title, the author tries to present and explain the modalities of connect...

Introduction Commenting on Pearson’s Grammar of Science, Peirce says: “Professor Pearson ... tells us that each of us is like the operator at a central telephone office, shut out from the external world, of which he is informed only by senseimpressions.” (CP 8.144). Peirce found such a position untenable. However, this was neither because he believed that senses do not have a role to play in co...

We can observe a connection between some serious environmental problems caused by the overexploitation of environmental resources and the particular conceptions of property rights that are claimed to hold with regard to these resources. In this paper, I investigate whether Kant's conception of property rights might constitute a basis for justifying property regimes that would overcome some of t...

In this paper we present the results of Korean to Japanese translation in especial from the machine translation system between Korean and Japanese language which have linguistic properties and similarities strongly in Syntax or Phraseology as the Ural-Altaic languages. For its implementation, we have developed syntax based machine translation system KANT designed to be capable of multi-lingual ...

It is perhaps an uncontroversial truth that the imagination is important for creative thought. The terms ‘creative’ and ‘imaginative’ are often used interchangeably, at least in popular contexts. And volumes have been written on the imaginations of creative artists, not to mention poems, films, paintings, and other depictions of the same phenomenon. Kant recognized a connection between imaginat...

In the Formula of Humanity, Kant embraces the principle that it is wrong for us to treat others merely as means. For contemporary Kantian ethicists, this Mere Means Principle plays the role of a moral constraint: it limits what we may do, even in the service of promoting the overall good. But substantive interpretations of the principle generate implausible results in relatively ordinary cases....
