From Transcendental Idealism to Transcendental RealismA Story by anandboseIt's an exegesis of Kan't PhilosphyIt was the
famous philosopher Kant in his epoch making work the critique of pure reason
who spoke of the sensate (world of the senses) as the Phenomena and the world
of ideas or forms as the Noumena. From the
Kantian idea of Transcendental Idealism I have developed the idea of
transcendental realism. Kant’s
theorization bifurcates a priori knowledge or deductive knowledge with a
posteriori knowledge or inductive knowledge. Deductive knowledge is reasoning
from a general premise to a particular one. For example: All Men are mortal.
Socrates is a man. Therefore Socrates is mortal. Inductive knowledge is a
posteriori and it is from the particular to the general. For example: Sugar
dissolves in water is particular knowledge and from that understand that it is
a general law. I have
merged both deductive (a priori) knowledge with inductive (a posteriori)
knowledge. Ideas are permanent and we come to know through the senses for all
cognition concepts. Kantian classification of intuition is rather vague. What Kant meant by intuition was a way of
knowing. But a human being is a thinking, feeling and willing being. We have to
be reminded that a being is thinking, feeling and willing anthrop. My argument
is that ideas or forms are eternal and that’s a Platonic View. With that I
endorse a Worldview Known as the Coigna which merges Kant’s transcendental
idealism with my transcendental realism. © 2019 anandbose |
