Space, Geometry, and Kant's Transcendental Deduction of the Categories

ISBN: 9780199381166 出版年：2014 页码：265 Vinci, Thomas C Oxford University Press

Thomas C. Vinci argues that Kant's Deductions demonstrate Kant's idealist doctrines and have the structure of an inference to the best explanation for correlated domains. With the Deduction of the Categories the correlated domains are intellectual conditions and non-geometrical laws of the empirical world. With the Deduction of the Concepts of Space, the correlated domains are the geometry of pure objects of intuition and the geometry of empirical objects.
