The main goal of this paper is to argue for the realizability of the moral ideal by means of the principle of reflective judgment as a form of judgment that in fact clarifies human limitation. I assert that the very recognition of this limitation constitutes the possibility for hope in that ideal, or for striving towards it, and that this striving is the only way that the moral ideal can be concretized. I examine man's recognition of self-limitation as a response to the moral demand to realize the moral ideal and the necessity of the power of imagination for this, used reflectively.}, language = {en} } @phdthesis{Menting2020, author = {Menting, Thijs}, title = {Purposiveness of nature in Kant's third critique}, publisher = {Universit{\"a}tsverlag Potsdam}, address = {Potsdam}, isbn = {978-3-86956-484-5}, doi = {10.25932/publishup-44433}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:kobv:517-opus4-444336}, school = {Universit{\"a}t Potsdam}, pages = {xii, 304}, year = {2020}, abstract = {This dissertation aims to deliver a transcendental interpretation of Immanuel Kant's Kritik der Urteilskraft, considering both its coherence with other critical works as well as the internal coherence of the work itself. This interpretation is called transcendental insofar as special emphasis is placed on the newly introduced cognitive power, namely the reflective power of judgement, guided by the a priori principle of purposiveness. In this way the seeming manifold of themes, varying from judgements of taste through culture to teleological judgements about natural purposes, are discussed exclusively in regard of their dependence on this faculty and its transcendental principle. In contrast, in contemporary scholarship the book is often treated as a fragmented work, consisting of different independent parts, while my focus lies on the continuity comprised primarily of the activity of the power of judgement. Going back to certain central yet silently presupposed concepts, adopted from previous critical works, the main contribution of this study is to integrate the KU within the overarching critical project. More specifically, I have argue how the need for the presupposition by the reflective power of judgement follows from the peculiar character of our sense-dependent discursive mind. Because we are sense-dependent discursive minds, we do not and cannot have immediate insight into all of nature's features. The particular constitution of our mind rather demands conceptually informed representations which mediately refer to objects. Having said that, the principle of purposiveness, namely the presupposition that nature is organized in concert with the particular constitution of our mind, is a necessary condition for the possibility of reflection on nature's empirical features. Reflection refers on my account to a process of selecting features in order to allow a classification, including reflection on the method, means and selection criteria. Rather than directly contributing to cognition, like the categories, reflective judgements thus express our ignorance when it comes to the motivation behind nature's design, and this is most forcefully expressed by judgements of taste and teleological judgements about organized matter. In this way, reflection, regardless whether it is manifested in concept acquisition, scientific systematization, judgements of taste or judgements about organized matter, relies on a principle of the power of judgement which is revealed and justified in this transcendental inquiry.}, language = {en} } @article{Albertini2012, author = {Albertini, Francesca Yardenit}, title = {Peace and war in Moses Maimonides and Immanuel Kant a comparative study}, series = {The journal of Jewish thought \& philosophy}, volume = {20}, journal = {The journal of Jewish thought \& philosophy}, number = {2}, publisher = {Brill}, address = {Leiden}, issn = {1053-699X}, doi = {10.1163/1477285X-12341238}, pages = {183 -- 198}, year = {2012}, abstract = {Francesca Y.

Despite all differences in method and historical context, the authors agree on the notion that universal ethics provides the basis of a determination of right grounded in the will. Maimonides' universal messianism as well as Kant's universal history emphasize the pivotal role and decisive responsibility of the human being in realizing, through reason, the reign of peace and prosperity on earth first envisioned by the biblical prophets.

Im philosophischen Problemrahmen von Besonderung und Immanenz werden verschiedene historische Modelle untersucht. Die Arbeit geht von der Philosophie Immanuel Kants und Georg Friedrich Wilhelm Hegels aus und konzentriert sich auf das f{\"u}r die klassisch-deutsche Philosophie und ihre {\"U}berwindung der traditionellen Metaphysik entscheidende Methodenprinzip der Grenzbestimmung. Die Untersuchung beginnt im Kapitel Ausgangspunkt mit Kants Definition der Grenzbestimmung in der Kritik der reinen Vernunft als transzendental-philosophische Grundoperation und damit mit den Begriffen Grenze, Schranke und Zweckm{\"a}ßigkeit. Anschließend wird Hegels grundlegende Antwort auf Kants Problem in der Dialektik der Grenze untersucht: In der Wissenschaft der Logik, der Logik des Seins, entwickelt Hegel ein erweitertes Konzept von Besonderung gegen Kant. Im Kern kritisiert Hegel Kants Begriff der Grenze im Sinne einer abstrakten Schranke, die einem begrifflich entwickelten Ansatz der Grenze als Funktionsbestimmung und damit der sich aus der Methode der Dialektik ergebenden Anforderung transzendentaler Individuation widerspricht. Die systematische zentrale Bedeutung der Dialektik der Grenze wird in der Begriffslogik im Abschnitt Teleologie weiter untersucht, da Grenze hier besonders mit dem Problem der Immanenz bzw. Vermittlung verkn{\"u}pft ist. Im Gegensatz zu Kant entwickelt Hegel die Idee der Vermittlung begrifflich {\"u}ber den Begriff der Zweckm{\"a}ßigkeit, beantwortet sie aber in der Wissenschaft der Logik innerhalb eines geschlossenen Modells. An diese Ergebnisse anschließend wird die Transformation des philosophischen Problemrahmens von Besonderung und Immanenz in der von Plessner im fr{\"u}hen 20. Jahrhundert gegr{\"u}ndeten Philosophischen Anthropologie untersucht. Plessner greift in seinem Hauptwerk Die Stufen des Organischen und der Mensch auf diesen Rahmen quasi-transzendental zu und begr{\"u}ndet eine moderne Natur- und Kulturphilosophie in einer performativ-philosophischen Wendung neu. Auf diese Weise kann Plessner Hegels geschlossenes philosophisches Modell von Besonderung und Immanenz aufbrechen und einen nicht-dualistischen dritten Weg moderner Philosophie jenseits von Neukantianismus und Existenzialismus vorzeichnen.}, language = {de} } @article{Haag2017, author = {Haag, Johannes}, title = {Analytic Kantianism}, series = {Con-textos kantianos : international journal of philosophy}, journal = {Con-textos kantianos : international journal of philosophy}, publisher = {Instituto de Filosof{\´i}a del Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Cient{\´i}ficas}, address = {Madrid}, issn = {2386-7655}, doi = {10.5281/zenodo.1092766}, pages = {18 -- 41}, year = {2017}, abstract = {Wilfrid Sellars and John McDowell can both be read as proponents of Analytic Kantianism.
