Abstract:

In dieser Arbeit schlage ich eine phänomenalistische Interpretation von Kants Idealismus vor, die sich jedoch in einigen Punkten von Standard-phänomenalistischen Interpretationen unterscheidet. Erscheinungen sind in meiner Lesart der Inhalt von Vorstellungen, aber nicht das eigentliche Objekt der Erkenntnis. Denn Erscheinungen sind von den erscheinenden Objekten verschieden. Diese sind vielmehr die Dinge an sich, welche wir zum transzendentalen Gegenstand der Erkenntnis machen. Allerdings erkennen wir sie lediglich, wie sie erscheinen, und nicht, wie sie sind. Somit bleibt die Unerkennbarkeit der Dinge, wie sie an sich sind, gewahrt. Im Verlauf meiner Argumentation diskutiere ich zahlreiche Aspekte von Kants Philosophie. Darunter sind die Unterscheidung zwischen Erscheinungen und Dingen an sich, Kants Verhältnis zur Cartesischen Epistemologie, die Widerlegung des Idealismus, sowie nicht zuletzt seine Theorie der Synthesis zu nennen. Mein Ziel ist dabei nicht nur zu zeigen, dass Kant ein Phänomenalist ist, sondern auch die Art seines Phänomenalismus zu charakterisieren.
This publication defends a phenomenalist interpretation of Kant’s idealism, which, however, deviates from usual phenomenalist interpretations in several respects. According to my reading, appearances are the content of representations, but not the true object of cognition. The object to which our cognition refers is rather the thing itself as the transcendental object. Nonetheless, we only cognize them as they appear and not as they are in themselves. Thus the unknowability of things as they are in themselves is retained. In the course of my presentation, I discuss a number of aspects of Kant’s philosophy, among which are the distinction between appearances and things in themselves, Kant’s relationship to Cartesian epistemology, the refutation of idealism, and not least his theory of synthesis. My aim is not only to show that Kant is a phenomenalist, but also to characterize the kind of his phenomenalism.

Abstract:

In my thesis I explain why the common, pre-theoretical understanding of morality is an important part of Kant's ethics, and I critically evaluate what the strengths and weaknesses are of doing ethics with the common perspective as a point of reference. In chapter 1, I discuss the significance of common rational capacities for the deduction in Groundwork III as well as for the Fact of Reason. Attention to the fundamental role of common rational capacities in the Second Critique reveals that Kant intends to provide further warrant for the Fact than its introspective self-evidence. In chapter 2, I discuss what it means for a rational agent to be endowed with common rational capacities. The agent has everything she needs to reason on her own about what she ought to do and act from rational judgements. Furthermore, I critically evaluate Kant's claim that his ethics spells out fundamental, pre-theoretical convictions. In chapter 3, I discuss Kant's conception of rationalizing (“Vernünfteln”). I analyse rationalizing as a process of self-deception in which an agent tries to justify or excuse violations of the moral law. This can lead to loss of the reliable use of common rational capacities. I discuss what help critical practical philosophy and moral education can afford against rationalizing. In chapter 4, I argue that Kant saw dialogical engagement with ordinary agents as an important way of obtaining data concerning the correct starting point of practical philosophy. Kant demands that whatever we get from dialog and observation has to be isolated from its contingent elements. I conclude that the main problem for Kant's method is how we can, on the one hand, exclude non-rational content, and, on the other hand, be open to what other agents actually have to say about morality.

Abstract:

In meiner Dissertation habe ich versucht, einen Beitrag zum Verständnis der Begriffe des Lebens, der Handlung und der Kultur in der Kritik der reinen Vernunft zu leisten. Meines Erachtens spielen diese Begriffe in einem systematisch organisierten Zusammenhang beim Problem der subjektiven Deduktion der Verstandesbegriffe, deren Erörterung in Ansehung Kants Hauptzwecks „von großer Wichtigkeit“ ist, sowie beim Problem der objektiven Deduktion der Verstandesbegriffe, die ein „wesentlich[er]“ „Hauptzweck“ ist, eine Schlüsselrolle.
In my thesis, I intended to make a contribution to the understanding of the concepts of life, action and culture in the Critique of Pure Reason. As my research results show, these concepts, closely connected to each other in an organized system, play a crucial role in regard to the problems of the subjective deduction and objective deduction of the concepts of the understanding - the discussion of the former being "of great importance" regarding Kant''s primary purpose, while the latter constitutes a "substantial" "primary purpose".

Abstract:

COORDENAÇÃO DE APERFEIÇOAMENTO DO PESSOAL DE ENSINO SUPERIOR
A filosofia crítica de Kant refuta o dogmatismo e o ceticismo tomados exclusivamente, mediante o critério do autoconhecimento da razão. Entretanto, o dogmatismo não pode ser simplesmente superado. A conversão da postura dogmática para a crítica não exclui o que há de necessário no procedimento dogmático, tanto para a razão quanto para a filosofia. O mesmo vale para o ceticismo. A hipótese que serve de guia para essa dissertação é a de que como o procedimento dogmático e o método cético são necessários para o conhecimento, eles não podem ser superados, mas devem ganhar uma nova versão crítica. Podese afirmar que a coexistência em certa medida de ceticismo e dogmatismo em um único sistema filosófico caracteriza o pensamento moderno. Essa síntese, desse modo, pode ser considerada uma marca da modernidade e, para Kant, contrapor o método cético ao procedimento dogmático é um modo de manter a saúde da razão e o vigor do pensamento, sendo Kant o primeiro pensador moderno a sustentar e a elaborar essa síntese como uma tarefa permanente para a filosofia.
Kant´s critical philosophy refutes dogmatism and also scepticism taken exclusively, through the criteria of the self-knowledge of reason. However, dogmatism cannot be simply surpassed. The conversion from the dogmatic posture to the critical does not exclude what is necessary in the dogmatic procedure, for reason as well as for philosophy. The same goes for scepticism. The hypothesis guiding this work is that the dogmatic procedure and the sceptical method are both necessary for knowledge; they cannot be surmounted, but must instead receive a critical version. It is right to say that the synthesis in some measure of scepticism and dogmatism in a single philosophical system characterizes modern thought. This synthesis, therefore, can be considered as a mark of modernity, and, for Kant, to oppose the sceptical method with the dogmatic procedure is a means of keeping reason healthy, and thought, vigorous, being Kant the first thinker in modernity to hold and elaborate this synthesis as a permanent task for philosophy.

Abstract:

This doctoral thesis analyzes the systematic role of Kant's conception of happiness in his moral, legal and political theory. Although many of his conclusions and arguments are directly or indirectly influenced by his conception of human happiness, Kant's underlying assumptions are rarely overtly discussed or given much detail in his works. Kant also provides different and apparently incompatible definitions of happiness. This research explores the domains of Kant's practical philosophy in which his conception of happiness plays a systematic role: the relation between the natural need of human beings to pursue happiness and the ends-oriented structure of the human will; Kant's anti-eudaimonism in ethical theory; Kant's claim that we have an indirect duty to promote our own happiness and the problem that under certain circumstances, the indeterminacy of happiness makes it not irrational to choose short term satisfaction at the costs of one's overall, long term happiness, given Kant's conception of non-moral choice as expectation of pleasure; Kant's justification of the duty to adopt the happiness of others as our ends (the duty of beneficence) and the latitude and eventual demandingness of this duty; finally, since Kant also subsumes subsistence needs and welfare under the concept of happiness of individuals, I also engage with the question of state provision for the poor in the Kantian Rechtsstaat and explore Kant's conception of equity or fairness (Billigkeit) as an alternative to the traditional minimalist and the welfare interpretations of the Kantian state.

McCloughan, Meade Jonathan Bruce. "Kant's theory of progress." Thesis, University College London (University of London), 2004. http://sas-space.sas.ac.uk/1140/.

Full text

Abstract:

My topic is Kant’s theory of historical progress. My approach is primarily textual and contextual. I analyse in some detail Kant’s three most important essays on the topic: ‘Idea for a Universal History’, the third part of ‘Theory and Practice’ and the second part of The Conflict of the Faculties. I devote particular attention to the Kant-Herder debate about progress, but also discuss Rousseau, Mendelssohn, Hegel and others. In presenting, on Kant’s behalf, a strong case for his theory of progress, I address the main objections which have been put to it. These are: (i) historical teleology is incoherent (history can’t have a goal because there is no intentional actor functioning at the historical level); (ii) historical teleology undermines morality (if things are getting better anyway, why do I have to try to make them better?); (iii) progress involves ‘chronological unfairness’ (if things are getting better, doesn’t this mean that earlier generations get a raw deal?); (iv) progress consigns the species to ‘spurious infinity’ (isn’t endless improvement endlessly unsatisfactory?); (v) progress amounts to pernicious homogenization (doesn’t the elimination of traditional practices and values impoverish our world?); (vi) the idea of progress is just ‘secularized’ religion (and should be rejected accordingly). In relation to (vi), I consider the Löwith-Blumenberg debate, and draw some general conclusions about the issue of ‘secularization’. In relating these to Kant, I argue for the following position: (a) his theory of progress is more than merely secularized religion; (b) to the extent that it can be described in terms of the secularization thesis, this reflects his ‘critical’ endeavour to rationalize Christianity; (c) in any case, the idea of progress by no means exhausts the rational potential of religion, and so should not be seen as intended to replace the latter.

Abstract:

Kandidaatintutkielmani esittelee käyttäjäkokemuksen evaluointia lasten kanssa. Aihetta pohjustaakseni esittelen ensin, millä tavalla erityinen teknologian käyttäjäryhmä lapset ovat, mitä käyttäjäkokemuksella nykytietämyksen mukaan tarkoitetaan ja mitä käyttäjäkokemuksen evaluoinnista tähän mennessä on saatu selville. Aiheen juuret ovat ihmisen ja tietokoneen vuorovaikutuksen tutkimuksessa, jonka tutkimus on ollut aktiivista 70-luvulta lähtien. Tiedeyhteisön kiinnostus lapsen ja tietokoneen vuorovaikutusta kohtaan alkoi 80- ja 90-lukujen vaihteessa. Käyttäjäkokemus jätti käytettävyyden tutkimuksen varjoonsa tiedeyhteisössä 2010-luvun alussa. Aihe on siis melko tuore eikä tiivistelmää lasten kanssa käytettävistä käyttäjäkokemuksen evaluointimetodeista toistaiseksi löydy. Tutkielmani tarjoaa katsauksen erilaisiin menetelmiin, esimerkiksi Fun Toolkit, Laddering ja Memoline sekä ohjeita käyttäjäkokemuksen evaluoinnin toteuttamiseen lasten kanssa. Siitä syystä tutkielmani voi olla hyödyllinen lapsille suunnattujen teknologisten tuotteiden tuotantoprosessissa henkilöille, jotka suunnittelevat tuotteiden evaluointia ja haluavat parantaa tuotteen tarjoamaa käyttäjäkokemusta.

Abstract:

The following is a study of what may be the most puzzling and yet, at the same time, most significant aspect of Kant's system: his theory of schemata. I will argue that Kant's commentators have failed to make sense of this aspect of Kant's philosophy. A host of questions have been left unanswered, and the doctrine remains a puzzle. While this study is not an attempt to construct a complete, satisfying account of the doctrine, it should be seen as a step somewhere on the road of doing so, leaving much work to be done. I will contend that one way that we may shed light on Kant's doctrine of schemata is to reconsider the manner in which Kant employs schemata in his mathematics. His use of the schemata there may provide some inkling into the nature of transcendental schemata and, in doing so, provide some hints at how the transcendental schemata allow our representations of objects to be subsumed under the pure concepts of the understanding. In many ways, then, the aims of the study are modest: instead of a grand-scale interpretation of Kant's philosophy, a detailed textual analysis and interpretation are presented of his doctrine of schemata. Instead of providing definitive answers, I will suggest clues as to how to begin to answer the questions that previous commentators have left unanswered about the doctrine.

Starke, Steven Charles. "Kant's Just War Theory." Scholar Commons, 2016. http://scholarcommons.usf.edu/etd/6398.

Full text

Abstract:

The main thesis of my dissertation is that Kant has a just war theory, and it is universal just war theory, not a traditional just war theory. This is supported by first establishing the history of secular just war theory, specifically through a consideration of the work of Hugo Grotius, Rights of War and Peace. I take his approach, from a natural law perspective, as indicative of the just war theory tradition. I also offer a brief critique of this tradition, suggesting some issues that are endemic to these kinds of theories. From this general understanding, the version of Kant’s just war theory present in Brian Orend’s work War and International Justice: A Kantian Perspective, is explored and rejected as another traditional just war theory. Orend attempts to shoehorn Kant into a tradition which Kant rejects as ineffective, and poorly grounded. Orend’s work is not without merit, and his view is reconceptualized in the last chapter. If not a traditional just war theory, then either a new category of just war theory needs to be established, or the thesis ought to be rejected. Thus, the next task is to defend against the claim that Kant does not have a just war theory at all, as claimed by Howard Williams in his work Kant and the End of War. This is rejected as insufficiently nuanced in its interpretation of Kant, and also for resulting in principles contrary to Kant’s moral theory. This view is also utilized in a new manner in the last chapter. Prior to describing the new category of just war theory, I consider the general approach Kant had to war. To do this, I explore his philosophical approach on ever more specific areas of philosophical investigation. I conclude that Kant has a dynamic and progressive understanding of the concepts he investigated, including philosophy, humanity, ethics, politics, and, eventually, war. In the penultimate chapter, I establish what I call a universal just war theory. I consider and name the traits of both a traditional just war theory and a universal just war theory, using Marxist Communism as an explanatory example of universal just war theory. This provides an intellectual space for Kant’s theory to reside, which is also consistent with his philosophical approach. The last chapter is devoted to the explanation and application of Kant’s universal just war theory. I offer an overarching principle for Kant’ view of conflict and defend it as a universal just war theory. I also revisit the place Orend and Williams views’ have in a proper understanding of Kant on just war. I end with an application of Kant’s universal just war theory to previous conflicts, as a demonstration of the practical value of this view. Thus, through first a negative argument against current conceptions of Kant’s views of just war theory, and then a positive argument for Kant’s general philosophical approach and a new category of just war theory, I offer an interpretation of Kant on just war theory. I argue this interpretation is superior to previous ones, and recommends real world applications for just war theorists to utilize.

Stephenson, Andrew Charles. "Kant's theory of experience." Thesis, University of Oxford, 2013. http://ora.ox.ac.uk/objects/uuid:12e951eb-8eef-4112-b90d-52e7d4fe6251.

Full text

Abstract:

In this thesis I present and defend an interpretation of Kant’s theory of experience as it stands from the viewpoint of his empirical realism. My central contention is that Kant’s is a conception of everyday experience, a kind of immediate phenomenological awareness as of empirical objects, and although he takes this to be representational, it cannot itself amount to empirical knowledge because it can be non-veridical, because in such experience it is possible to misrepresent the world. I outline my view in an extended introduction. In Part I I offer a novel interpretation of Kant’s doctrine of sensibility and sensation. Utilizing a data-processor schematic as an explanatory framework, I give an account of how outer sense, as a collection of sensory capacities, is causally affected by empirical objects to produce bodily state sensations that naturally encode information about those objects. This information is then processed through inner sense to present to the understanding a manifold of mental state sensations that similarly encode information. I also give accounts of how the reproductive imagination operates in hallucination to produce sensible manifolds in lieu of current causal affection, and of the restricted role that consciousness plays at this low level of cognitive function. In Part II I turn to the role of the understanding in experience. I offer a two-stage model of conceptual synthesis and explain how Kant’s theory of experience is a unique blend of conceptualist and non-conceptualist elements. I show that it explains how our experience can provide us with reasons for belief while at the same time accounting for the fact that experience is what anchors us to the world. Finally, I return to non-veridical experience. I confront recent naïve realist readings of Kant and argue that, for Kant, the possibility of non-veridicality is built into the very nature of the human mind and the way it relates to the world.

Full text

Abstract:

Jag har granskat Arthur Melnick, Onora O’Neill och Christine Korsgaard och undersökt hur de har tolkat Kants kategoriska imperativ. Trots deras uppenbara olikheter i tolkningen av det kategoriska imperativet går det att se gemensamma nämnare. Det rör sig om motivationen till att följa det kategoriska imperativet som främst ska ligga i vårt egenintresse och utan tvång. Dessutom har jag undersökt Susan Wolf och hennes syn på moraliska handlingar. När det rör motivationen att vara moralisk är det främst genom att respektera den egna mänskligheten och dess autonomi. Dessa förklaringar behöver inte nödvändigtvis höra till Kants Kategoriska imperativ utan är bara en norm för vad vi ska försöka eftersträva. Det jag slutligen kom fram till är att en hybrid av ett minimalt antal absoluta och ett större antal rekommenderade regler vore att föredra. Till exempel kan min tanke illustreras med att om vi sätter lagar så att det ska vara svårare att bryta mot dem. Rent praktiskt så betyder det att färre skulle komma att belastas med brott och bara begå förseelser istället. Därför kan exemplet med O’Neills position men med regelutilitaristisk motivering vara ganska lätt att följa. Detta eftersom den regeln är något som de flesta människor skulle kunna ställa sig bakom. Utifrån de hypotetiska reglerna bör vi välja sådana handlings sätt som bäst går ihop med den egna moraliska uppfattningen. Det kan röra sig om att i vissa fall göra något som av tvång måste göras men är på gränsen till moraliskt eller lagligt. Denna modell anser jag är bättre, eftersom vi faktiskt bryter mot såväl absoluta som rekommenderade regler ibland. Ett bra exempel på det är hastighetsbegränsningarna på vägarna eller gå mot rött. Skillnaden är att om absoluta regler som inte är flexibla bryts, medför detta i regel allvarliga konsekvenser. Det som är värt att notera är att hållandet av hastighetsgränser tycks vara mer frivilligt än strängt övervakat. Vi får alltså förtroendet att genom en rekommenderad eller påbjuden hastighet hålla den. Rekommenderade regler gör att de flesta moraliska individer känner en viss skuld över att ha brutit mot dem. Motivationen att följa regler borde vara att eftersom de flesta har ett samvete ska detta räcka till för att bromsa oss då vi försöker vara omoraliska. Vi ska bli avskräckta på två plan där den ena faktorn är lagen och den andra är att det inte ligger i vårt egenintresse att råka illa ut.

Abstract:

Kant is famous for his use of transcendental arguments in the transcendental deduction. This thesis examines how such a transcendental argument is used within Kant’s methodological framework. Following the work of Henrich and Walker, the paper asks whether transcendental arguments in the Critique of Pure Reason are compatible with Kant’s methodology in general. We find that these arguments and Kant’s methodology are compatible, and that transcendental arguments are indeed very weak arguments by Walker’s standards. However, the entire transcendental deduction should be understood as a deduction writing that uses transcendental arguments particularly effectively according to Kant’s own methodological standards.

Abstract:

This thesis considers the status of Deleuze as a Kantian, and as such committed both to the critical destiny of philosophy, and the contestation of the sense of this destiny. The focus of Deleuze�s reading of Kant is an active conception of thought: the fundamental elements of thought are will and value rather than being or the concept. In the development of this idea we can note a progressive 'tapering' of the foundational instance of thought, in three stages: from the speculative field of being to the practical field of reason; from the intellectual category of the concept to the problematic category of the Idea; from the teleological notion of the organism to the aesthetic notion of the singular. Within each stage we can perceive a polemic between the two terms: it is in each case a question of the 'sufficient reason' of thought, its conditions of the actuality beyond its possibility. The highest expression of our reason, for Kant, is neither theoretical nor utilitarian, but moral: the realisation of our lawful freedom. For Deleuze, on the other hand, the ultimate secret of our freedom and thus all of our thought is to be found rather in the realm of the aesthetic.
