Lezing Metafysica
Prof. Scott Stapleford: Refutation of Idealism from 1777
September 2, 16-18 h.
Location: 213, BG5 (Binnengasthuisterrein, boven het Atrium/mensa)
Abstract: The paper identifies a possible precedent for Kant’s Refutation of Idealism in the work of Johann Nicolaus Tetens. An attempt is made to reconstruct the reasoning that led Tetens to reject idealism as a false starting-point, and some parallels are drawn between Tetens’ psychologistic approach to the problem and Kant’s transcendental methodology.
