Empiryczny realizm Kanta

Abstract

The author undertakes an interpretation of the Critique ofPure Reason in which transcendental idealism and empirical realism are equated with one another. He proceeds by first asking the question ifsuch an equation is possible, and then inquires how its acceptance would change the standard interpretation ofKant’s thought and whether it will be helpful in prersenting his ideas in their true colors. The author claims that such reading ofKant may by more interesting ifit is seen in the light of phenomenology. He is not only concerned to emphasize similarities between some conceptions of transcendental idealism (empirical realism) of Kant and Husserl, but shows how the proposes reading of Kant helps to detect Kantian inspiration in much of contemporary philosophy.
