Kant and the Politics of Racism - Jimmy Yab - Bog - Springer Nature Switzerland AG - Plusbog.dk

Kant and the Politics of Racism - Jimmy Yab - Bog - Springer Nature Switzerland AG - Plusbog.dk

This book proposes an account of the place of the theory of race in Kant''s thought as a central part of philosophical anthropology in his political system. Kant''s theory of race, this book argues, is integral to the analysis of the "Charakteristik" of the human species and determined by human natural predispositions. The understanding of his theory as such suggests not only an alternative reading to the orthodox narrative we have seen so far but also reveals the underlying centrality of the notion of human natural predispositions in a way that is consequential for Kant''s philosophy as a whole. What is the impact of Kant''s racial theory on his philosophy and political thought? Is Kant a consistent egalitarian or a partisan Universalist thinker? Is he the symbol of racist prejudices of his time? What is the influence of his racial hierarchy on his cosmopolitan right? Or more simply, is Kant racist? From a systematic examination of Kant relevant writings, this book provides answers to these questions and shed light on two fundamental problems of his theory of race for moral philosophy, namely: (1) the completeness of the character of the White race and (2) the dispossession of the character of the beauty and the dignity of human nature of the Negro race. These two issues, unperceived from the "orthodox" reading''s perspective, however, uncovered by the "heterodox" reading, not only shape Kant''s race thinking from the beginning to the end of his life, transform his cosmopolitan right into a non-universalist form of right, but merely define Kant as a fundamental racist thinker since he developed the anthropology, the philosophy, and the politics of racism in a systematic way.

Kant, Wittgenstein, and the Performativity of Thought - Aloisia Moser - Bog - Springer Nature Switzerland AG - Plusbog.dk

Kant, Wittgenstein, and the Performativity of Thought - Aloisia Moser - Bog - Springer Nature Switzerland AG - Plusbog.dk

This book explores the idea that there is a certain performativity of thought connecting Kant''s Critique of Pure Reason and Wittgenstein''s Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus . On this view, we make judgments and use propositions because we presuppose that our thinking is about something, and that our propositions have sense. Kant''s requirement of an a priori connection between intuitions and concepts is akin to Wittgenstein''s idea of the general propositional form as sharing a form with the world. Aloisia Moser argues that Kant speaks about acts of the mind, not about static categories. Furthermore, she elucidates the Tractatus '' logical form as a projection method that turns into a so-called ''zero method'', whereby propositions are merely the scaffolding of the world. In so doing, Moser connects Kantian reflective judgment to Wittgensteinian rule-following. She thereby presents an account of performativity centering neither on theories nor methods, but on the application enacting them in the first place.

Academic Skepticism in Hume and Kant - Catalina Gonzalez Quintero - Bog - Springer Nature Switzerland AG - Plusbog.dk

Academic Skepticism in Hume and Kant - Catalina Gonzalez Quintero - Bog - Springer Nature Switzerland AG - Plusbog.dk

This book offers an unprecedented study of the influence of the skepticism of the New Platonic Academy on David Hume''s and Immanuel Kant''s critiques of metaphysics. By demonstrating how the skeptical teachings of the Academy affected these authors'' Enlightened attacks on traditional metaphysics, this book deepens and broadens the burgeoning scholarship on the role that the Ancients schools of skepticism played in the configuration of Modern skeptical outlooks. It bolsters the newfound recognition that we must reconsider the conventional view that the revival of Pyrrhonism in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries gave birth to Modern skepticism by incorporating the influence of Academic skepticism in the analysis. Giving a new impetus to this line of research, the author argues that Academic ideas and methods informed Hume''s and Kant''s critique of metaphysics in substantial and thus far unacknowledged ways. Specifically, she demonstrates the centrality of Academic skepticism to Hume''s epistemology and critique of religion through a detailed analysis of his theory of belief in the Treatise and the first Enquiry as well as of its application in the Dialogues concerning Natural Religion . Likewise, her analysis reveals how Kant''s anti-metaphysical stance, developed in the Transcendental Dialectic of the Critique of Pure Reason , contains many skeptical insights of Academic inspiration, bequeathed to him by Hume.

Restless Reason and Other Variations on Kantian Themes - Amihud Gilead - Bog - Springer Nature Switzerland AG - Plusbog.dk

Restless Reason and Other Variations on Kantian Themes - Amihud Gilead - Bog - Springer Nature Switzerland AG - Plusbog.dk

This book, combining integratively-revised previously-published papers with entirely new chapters, challenges and treats some major problems in Kant''s philosophy not by means of new interpretations but by suggesting some variations on Kantian themes. Such variations are, in fact, reconstructions made according to Kantian ideas and principles and yet cannot be extracted as such directly from his writings. The book also analyses Kant''s philosophy from a new metaphysical angle, based on the original metaphysics of the author, called panenmentalism. It reconstructs some missing links in Kant''s philosophy, such as the idea of teleological time, which is vital for Kant''s moral theory. Although these variations cannot be found literally in Kant''s works, they can be legitimately explicated, developed, and implied from them. Such is the case because these variations are strictly compatible with the details of the texts and the texts as wholes, and because they are systematically integrated. Their coherence supports their validation. The target audiences are graduate and PhD students as well as specialist researchers of Kant''s philosophy.

The Visible, the Sublime and the Sensus Communis - Tamar Japaridze - Bog - Springer Nature Switzerland AG - Plusbog.dk

The Visible, the Sublime and the Sensus Communis - Tamar Japaridze - Bog - Springer Nature Switzerland AG - Plusbog.dk

This book argues that Kant develops a theory of perception in the Critique of Judgment from which one can redefine his entire project, viewing and using aesthetics as its backbone, from the transcendental aesthetic of the First Critique to the Critique of Taste in the Third. The author shows us how Kant exonerates the role of faculties that account for such judgments linked by inner senses, inclusive of sensus communis . By re-examining the role of the aesthetic within Kant''s critical philosophy, the compelling force of the aesthetic turn is revealed in modern philosophy. The text includes Heidegger''s, Hegel''s and Diderot''s complex relationship to Kant in this context. This text provides important scholarship for those interested in the Kantian influence on German Idealism, the aesthetic turn in the continental tradition, especially the Frankfurt school, and more generally, those interested in the encounter between philosophy and art in this historical context.

The Ultimate Enhancement of Morality - Vojin Rakic - Bog - Springer Nature Switzerland AG - Plusbog.dk

The Ultimate Enhancement of Morality - Vojin Rakic - Bog - Springer Nature Switzerland AG - Plusbog.dk

This book deals with good, evil, happiness and morally enhanced post-humans. It offers a succinct historical elaboration of philosophical stances towards morality and happiness, focusing on Kant''s ideas in particular. Human augmented ethical maturity in a futuristic version of Kant''s Ethical Commonwealth implies, among else, voluntary moral bio-enhancement (VMBE); consequently, more happiness - as morality and happiness are in a circularly supportive relationship; ultimate morality (UM). UM is in its own way a universal morality. In line with the contention that Kant''s vision of the (not immediate but more distant) future of humanity is one of a cosmopolitan moral order in which humans act virtuously in the broadest possible community, that is, humanity, it is justified to conclude that successful VMBE is conducive to Kant''s vision. In this context the book is of great interest to a broad audience, such as those interested in VMBE and novel conceptions of morality, and those with an interest in the historical development of morality and happiness, in philosophy (specifically, ethics) and in post-humanity.

Space, Time, and the Origins of Transcendental Idealism - Matthew Rukgaber - Bog - Springer Nature Switzerland AG - Plusbog.dk

Space, Time, and the Origins of Transcendental Idealism - Matthew Rukgaber - Bog - Springer Nature Switzerland AG - Plusbog.dk

This book provides an account of the unity of Immanuel Kant''s early metaphysics, including the moment he invents transcendental idealism. Matthew Rukgaber argues that a division between "two worlds"-the world of matter, force, and space on the one hand, and the world of metaphysical substances with inner states and principles preserved by God on the other-is what guides Kant''s thought. Until 1770 Kant consistently held a conception of space as a force-based material product of monads that are only virtually present in nature. As Rukgaber explains, transcendental idealism emerges as a constructivist metaphysics, a view in which space and time are real relations outside of the mind, but those relations are metaphysically dependent on the subject. The subject creates the simple "now" and "here," thus introducing into the intrinsically indeterminate and infinitely divisible continua of nature a metric with transformation rules that make possible all individuation and measurement.

The Philosophical Roots of Loneliness and Intimacy - Ben Lazare Mijuskovic - Bog - Springer Nature Switzerland AG - Plusbog.dk

The Philosophical Roots of Loneliness and Intimacy - Ben Lazare Mijuskovic - Bog - Springer Nature Switzerland AG - Plusbog.dk

Ben Lazare Mijuskovic has spent 40 years researching theories of consciousness in relation to human loneliness, using an interdisciplinary and "history of ideas" approach. In this book, Mijuskovic combines Kant''s theory of reflexive self-consciousness with Husserl''s transcendent principle of intentionality to describe the distinctive philosophical, psychological, and sociological roots of loneliness and intimacy. He argues that loneliness is innate, unavoidable, and constituted by the structure of self-consciousness itself.

The Bounds of Transcendental Logic - Dennis Schulting - Bog - Springer Nature Switzerland AG - Plusbog.dk

The Bounds of Transcendental Logic - Dennis Schulting - Bog - Springer Nature Switzerland AG - Plusbog.dk

The book addresses two main areas of Kant''s theoretical philosophy: the doctrine of transcendental idealism and various central aspects of the arguments from the Metaphysical and Transcendental Deductions, as well as the relation between the deduction argument and idealism. Among the topics covered are the nature of objective validity, the role and function of transcendental logic in relation to general or formal logic, the possibility of contradictory thoughts, the meaning of the Leitfaden at A79 and the unity of cognition, the two-steps-in-one-proof interpretation and categorial instantiation, categorial illusion, Strawson''s transcendental argument, the persistently perplexing question of the derivation of the categories, and the relation between apperception, objectivity, judgement, and idealism. With regard to idealism in particular, the focus is on the metaphysical two-aspect interpretation and its problems, on the merits and demerits of the controversial phenomenalist reading of Kant''s idealism, and on the topic of subjectivism and epistemic humility. In all of the aforementioned topics, the book presents wholly novel interpretations compared to the standard or mainstream interpretations

The Concept of Drive in Classical German Philosophy - - Bog - Springer Nature Switzerland AG - Plusbog.dk

The Concept of Drive in Classical German Philosophy - - Bog - Springer Nature Switzerland AG - Plusbog.dk

This volume gathers a collection of fourteen original articles discussing the concept of drive in classical German philosophy. Its aim is to offer a comprehensive historical overview of the concept of drive at the turn of the 19 th century and to discuss it both historically and systematically. From the 18 th century onward, the concept of drive started to play an important role in emerging disciplines such as biology, anthropology, and psychology. In these fields, the concept of drive was used to describe the inner forces of organic nature, or, more particularly, human urges and desires. But it was in the period of classical German philosophy that this concept developed into an important philosophical concept crucial to Kant''s and post-Kantian idealistic systems. Reflecting the complexity of this concept, the volume first discusses historical sources of drive theories in Leibniz, Reimarus, and Blumenbach. Afterwards, the volume presents the philosophical accounts of drives in Kant, Fichte, Schelling, and Hegel, and also gives a systematic overview of other important drive theories that were formed around 1800 by Herder, Goethe, Jacobi, Novalis, Reinhold, Schiller, and Schopenhauer.

Maria Zambrano’s Ontology of Exile - Karolina Enquist Kallgren - Bog - Springer Nature Switzerland AG - Plusbog.dk

Maria Zambrano’s Ontology of Exile - Karolina Enquist Kallgren - Bog - Springer Nature Switzerland AG - Plusbog.dk

This book analyzes the exile ontology of Spanish philosopher María Zambrano (1904-1991). Karolina Enquist Källgren connects Zambrano''s lived exile and political engagement with the Spanish Civil War to her poetic reason, and argues that Zambrano developed a theory of expressive subjectivity that combined embodiment with the expressive creativity of the human mind. The analysis of recurring literary figures and concepts-such as new materialism, the confession, image, the ruin, the heart, and awakening- show how a comprehensive argument runs as a thread through her works. Further, this book situates Zambrano''s thought in a larger European philosophical context by showing how Zambrano''s poetic reason was directly related to her unconventional exile readings of Martin Heidegger, Aristotle, Immanuel Kant, and Xavier Zubiri, among others.

German Political Thought and the Discourse of Platonism - Paul Bishop - Bog - Springer Nature Switzerland AG - Plusbog.dk

German Political Thought and the Discourse of Platonism - Paul Bishop - Bog - Springer Nature Switzerland AG - Plusbog.dk

Taking Plato''s allegory of the cave as its starting-point, this book demonstrates how later European thinkers can be read as a reaction and a response to key aspects of this allegory and its discourse of enchainment and liberation. Focusing on key thinkers in the tradition of European (and specifically German) political thought including Kant, Marx, Hegel, Nietzsche, Heidegger, and the Frankfurt School, it relates them back to such foundational figures as Rousseau, Aristotle, and in particular Plato. All these thinkers are considered in relation to key passages from their major works, accompanied by an explanatory commentary which seeks to follow a conceptual and imagistic thread through the labyrinth of these complex, yet fascinating, texts. This book will appeal in particular to scholars of political theory, philosophy, and German language and culture.

Identity and the Difficulty of Emancipation - Volker Kaul - Bog - Springer Nature Switzerland AG - Plusbog.dk

Identity and the Difficulty of Emancipation - Volker Kaul - Bog - Springer Nature Switzerland AG - Plusbog.dk

This book provides a comprehensive account of the phenomenon of identity in politics, featuring for the first time the question of individual emancipation. It addresses the burning questions of our times, viz. nationalism, populism, Islamic fundamentalism, multiculturalism, postsecularism and postcolonialism. The volume repudiates an easy reconciliation between identity and emancipation, such as it occurs in contemporary liberal and multicultural political theories. It shows that we cannot achieve emancipation without Kant''s help, whereas identity relentlessly draws us back to collective values and the community. The book urges for a new understanding of identity and a politics that instead of accommodating identities seeks to govern them. Identity is the buzzword in the humanities and social sciences, but also the most contentious and least conceptualized term. This book intends to bring theoretical clarity into the debate on how identity plays out in politics.

Hobbesian Internationalism - Silviya Lechner - Bog - Springer Nature Switzerland AG - Plusbog.dk

Hobbesian Internationalism - Silviya Lechner - Bog - Springer Nature Switzerland AG - Plusbog.dk

This book sets out to re-examine the foundations of Thomas Hobbes''s political philosophy, and to develop a Hobbesian normative theory of international relations. Its central thesis is that two concepts - anarchy and authority - constitute the core of Hobbes''s political philosophy whose aim is to justify the state. The Hobbesian state is a type of authority (juridical, public, coercive, and supreme) which emerges under conditions of anarchy (''state of nature''). A state-of-nature argument makes a difference because it justifies authority without appeal to moral obligation. The book shows that the closest analogue of a Hobbesian authority in international relations is Kant''s confederation of free states, where states enjoy ''anarchical'' (equal) freedom. At present, this crucial form of freedom is being threatened by economic processes of globalisation, and by the resurgence of private authority across state borders.

Aesthetic Realism - Ines Morais - Bog - Springer Nature Switzerland AG - Plusbog.dk

Aesthetic Realism - Ines Morais - Bog - Springer Nature Switzerland AG - Plusbog.dk

This compelling book defends realism concerning the aesthetic-in particular, concerning the aesthetic properties of works of art (including works of literature). Morais lucidly argues that art criticism, when referring to aesthetic properties, is referring not ultimately to the critic''s subjective reactions, but to genuine properties of the works. With a focus on contemporary discussion conducted in the analytic tradition, as well as on arguments by Hume and Kant, this book characterizes the debate in aesthetics and the philosophy of art concerning aesthetic realism, examining attacks on the objectivity of values, the ''autonomy thesis'', and Hume''s sentimentalism. Considering and defusing scepticism concerning the significance of the ontological debate about aesthetic realism, Morais discusses two powerful attacks on aesthetic realism before defending the doctrine against them and providing a positive realist account of aesthetic properties.

Science and Sensibilia by W. V. Quine - - Bog - Springer Nature Switzerland AG - Plusbog.dk

Science and Sensibilia by W. V. Quine - - Bog - Springer Nature Switzerland AG - Plusbog.dk

In this book, W. V. Quine''s Immanuel Kant Lectures entitled Science and Sensibilia are published for the first time in English. These lectures represent an important stage in the development of Quine''s later thought, where he is more explicit about the importance of physicalist constraints in his account of the steps from sensory stimulation to scientific theory, and in further using them to assess the extent to which mental vocabulary is defensible. Taken as a unit, these lectures fill an important gap in our understanding of his philosophical development from his 1973 work The Roots of Reference to his later work. The volume further contains an introduction that outlines the content and philosophical significance of the lectures. In addition, several essays written by leading scholars of Quine''s philosophy provide further insight into the important issues raised in the lectures.

The Significance of Aspect Perception - Avner Baz - Bog - Springer Nature Switzerland AG - Plusbog.dk

The Significance of Aspect Perception - Avner Baz - Bog - Springer Nature Switzerland AG - Plusbog.dk

In this volume, Baz offers a wide-ranging discussion of Wittgenstein''s remarks on aspect-perception, with special focus on Wittgenstein''s method. Baz starts out with an interpretation of Wittgenstein''s remarks on aspects and continues with attempts to characterize and defend Wittgenstein''s approach to the understanding and dissolution of philosophical difficulties. Baz ends with attempts to articulate-under the inspiration of Merleau-Ponty''s phenomenology-certain dissatisfactions, both with Wittgenstein''s remarks on aspect perception, and with his philosophical approach more generally. On the way, Baz explores connections between Wittgenstein''s remarks on aspects and Kant''s aesthetics. He examines ways in which the remarks on aspects may be brought to bear on contemporary philosophical work on perception. He discusses some of the implications of Wittgenstein''s work on aspect perception for issues in moral philosophy and the philosophy of action.
