Kant query results

[Iain Brassington]

Hi –

Thanks to all who have made suggestions in response to my query about Kant.  I’ve had a couple of requests to let people know what I mustered, so I’ve decided to post the suggestions so far (though please do keep ‘em coming).  In no particular order, I’ve been directed to:

Kant: Logic; Critique of Pure Reason (Prefaces; introductions; B82-3)

Walker: The Coherence Theory of Truth: Realism, Anti-realism, Idealism

Hanna: “Kant, Truth, and Human Nature” British Journal for the History of Philosophy 8 (2000): 225-250.

Hanna: “The Trouble with Truth in Kant’s Theory of Meaning” History of Philosophy Quarterly 10 (1993): 1-20.

Moran: “Hilary Putnam and Immanuel Kant: Two Internal Realists” Synthese, 2000, pp 65-104

Posy: “Kant’s Mathematical Realism” The Monist, vol. 67, no. 1, 1984; “Dancing to the Antinomy: A Proposal for Transcendental Idealism” American Philosophical Quarterly, 20, 1983, pp 81-94; “The Language of Appearances and Things in Themselves” Synthese, 47, 1981, pp 313-352

Stevenson: “Empirical Realism and Transcendental Anti-Realism” Proceedings of the Aristotelian Society, suppl. 57, 1983, pp 131-153

Walker: “Verificationism, Anti-Realism, and Idealism” European Journal of Philosophy, Vol. 3, No. 3, 1995, pp 257-272; “Empirical Realism and Transcendental Anti-Realism” Proceedings of the Aristotelian Society, suppl. 57, 1983, pp 131-153.

Abela: Kant’s Empirical Realism

 

There seems to be some room for dispute, too, about whether Kant opts for a coherentist theory, a correspondence theory, or whether he’s simply not all that interested in truth.  And that dispute, in itself, seems to be worth noting.

 

Guess what I’ll be doing this weekend…  (Honest!)

Many thanks again

I
