Since 1976 Hilary Putnam has drawn parallels between his ‘internal’, ‘pragmatic’, ‘natural’ or ‘common-sense’ realism and Kant’s transcendental idealism. Putnam reads Kant as rejecting the then current metaphysical picture with its in-built assumptions of a unique, mind-independent world, and truth understood as correspondence between the mind and that ready-made world. Putnam reads Kant as ove...

Abstract By considering the semantic footings of so-called antinomies pure reason, this article contributes to debate about whether Kant was committed realism or anti-realism . That is, verification-transcendent judgements are truth-apt (realism) not (anti-realism). Against (empiricist) principle that Strawson, and others, have ascribed as “principle significance,” bedrock my is what I call Kan...

The paper makes use of a finitary version of Geometry of Interaction to fix most pending problems in propositional proof-nets. The methodological guidelines are those of transcendental syntax. 1 Transcendental Syntax Transcendental syntax starts where semantics fails: foundational issues1. 1.1 Splendor. . . Semantics is very valuable tool: nothing is better than a good model-theoretic argument....

Quantum indeterminism seems incompatible with Kant’s defense of causality in his Second Analogy. The Copenhagen interpretation also takes quantum theory as evidence for anti-realism. This article argues that the law of causality, as transcendental, applies only to the world as observable, not to hypothetical (unobservable) objects such as quarks, detectable only by high energy accelerators. Tak...

Standard interpretations of Kant’s transcendental idealism take it as a 1 commitment to the view that the objects of cognition are structured or made by con2 ditions imposed by the mind, and therefore to what Van Cleve calls “honest-to-God 3 idealism”. Against this view, many more recent investigations of Kant’s theory of rep4 resentation and cognitive significance have been able to show that K...

The purpose of this study is to explore the possibility reconciliation between Kant’s transcendental idealism and McCarthy’s epistemological point view on artificial intelligence, which are at first glance likely be considered contradictory. For this, characterizing standpoint J. McCarthy, who coined word ‘artificial intelligence’ as scientific realism that A. Turing, provided a crucial thought...

In this paper, I discuss an alternative conception of internalism and externalism for transcendental phenomenology. Recent debates in phenomenology start from familiar notions about content. This, believe, is unhappy match: common philosophical usage are perspectives on representational content; yet deals with intentionality, which not primarily representational. argue that better served by und...
