3Kant’s Intuitionism (review)Philosophical Review 107 (1): 155-158. 1998.Wonderfully clear, scholarly, and well argued, Kant’s Intuitionism offers a bold new interpretation of the thesis of the Transcendental Aesthetic. Falkenstein reads Kant as a “formal intuitionist.” That is, he takes Kant to have maintained that the forms of intuition, space, and time were given along with sensations. They were neither preexisting representations, nor intellectual or imaginative constructions out of sensations. In this context “given” contrasts with “constructed”; subjects’ repre…Read more

2Matter in Mind: A Study of Kant's Transcendental Deduction (review)Review of Metaphysics 43 (4): 851-851. 1990.Richard Aquila's study tackles a number of difficult and important issues in the Transcendental Deduction, issues that are frequently slighted.

What is Necessary and What is Contingent in Kant’s Empirical Self?Sententiae 43 (1): 8-17. 2024.How does Kant understand the representation of an empirical self? For Kant, the sources of the representation must be both a priori and a posteriori. Several scholars claim that the a priori part of the ‘self’ representation is supplied by the category of ‘substance,’ either a regular substance (Andrew Chignell), a minimal substance (Karl Ameriks) or a substance analog (Katharina Kraus). However, Kant opens the Paralogisms chapter by announcing that there is a thirteenth ‘transcendental’ concept…Read more
