Leibniz and the Concept of a SystemStudia Leibnitiana 13 (n/a): 114. 1981.Das Ziel der Systematisierung der Erkenntnis und der Darstellung alles Wissens im Rahmen einer zusammenhängenden Einheit kann zurückverfolgt werden bis in das klassische Altertum. Aber Leibniz war der erste, der sich beschrieb als jemanden, der „ein System der Philosophic“ bietet. Für Leibniz isf ein kognitives System ein strukturierter Körper von Informationen, der gemäß taxonomischer und erklärender Prinzipien organisiert ist und bestrebt ist, Systematik in die Struktur sowohl von Begriffen al…Read more

152Leibniz and the English LanguageThe Leibniz Review 23 7-11. 2013.The only extensive study that Leibniz ever made of an English-language book, his New Essays on John Locke’s 1690 Essay Concerning Human Understanding, was based not on the English original, but on a French translation. And his correspondence with English scholars and political figures was invariably written in Latin or French. In consequence the impression is widespread among Anglophone Leibnizians that he did not know English. However, considerable evidence has come to light in recent years tha…Read more

206Kant's Neoplatonism: Kant and Plato on Mathematical and Philosophical MethodMetaphilosophy 44 (1-2): 69-78. 2013.Both Plato and Kant devote much attention and care to deliberating about their method of philosophizing. And, interestingly, both seek to expand and explain their view of philosophical method by one selfsame strategy: explaining the contrast between rational procedure in mathematics and in philosophy. Plato and Kant agree on a fundamental point of philosophical method that is at odds with the mathematico-demonstrative methodology of philosophy found in Spinoza and present in Christian Wolff.

71Knowledge in Idealistic PerspectiveIdealistic Studies 43 (1-2): 1-10. 2013.From the pragmatic point of view, cognition is an instrument for the cultivation of our interests, among which, interestingly enough, knowledge itself also figures. The cultivation of objective knowledge involves a complex trade-off between generality and security, between definiteness and reliability. Perfection with respect to these desiderata is in general unrealizable, and a compromise between achievability and ideal aspiration is as unavoidable here in cognition as it is elsewhere

48Kant and the reach of reason: studies in Kant's theory of rational systematizationCambridge University Press. 2000.The essays collected in this volume have a strong thematic and interpretative unity. Their underlying concern is with the overall nature of Kant's philosophical system, and thus with his deepest intentions and basic commitments. The book falls into three parts. The first three essays deal with Kant's approach to things in themselves and with the realm of noumenal causality. The second part considers Kant's approach to the methodology of rational inquiry, and, in particular, his views on cognitiv…Read more

515Introduction to Value TheoryUpa. 1969.A reprint of the popular 1969, Prentice-Hall edition, the principal innovation of this philosophical introduction to value theory is its focus upon values as they are dealt with in everyday life situations, and have sometimes been studied by sociologists and social psychologists, rather than upon value as has been standard in the philosophical tradition.
