Topic: Neokantian


In the News (Fri 25 Dec 09)

  
  Bryn Mawr Classical Review 2002.03.08
Although largely independent of one another (stylistically and doctrinally) the six essays are brought together in a harmonious way by inquiry, firstly, into the way knowledge is conditioned by the rationality behind it, and secondly into the way in which this knowledge is delivered as science.
This is fair enough, as long as the main purpose of the essay is to summarise the Neokantian position.
A detailed discussion of the rest of the chapter would involve a discussion of (rather an objection to) the Neokantian interpretation of Plato, and this would be, for the purposes of this review, superfluous.

Wigner and Bohr were reacting against the then prevalent Neokantian view that good science meant a good theory, and that a good theory was one that excluded any reference to or theory about the operations of human consciousness.
Neokantians, such as Cassirer, make a transcendent leap to a non-sensory order that leaves the sensory flow behind as mere symbols separated from the content of the concept it reveals.
Cassirer (1944) for a precise and careful analysis of the mathematical and psychological structure of perception in the context of a Neokantian preference for pure ‘essences’ over phenomenological ‘essences.’ 10.

The background against which Windelband is placed is not the Southwest-German school of neokantianism as such, but more specifically the relation of this school to the German Idealism of Fichte and Hegel.
Contrary to the current view that neokantianism constituted a rupture with Idealism, is the hypothesis of this research project that there is in fact a continuity, and that this continuity is crucial to an understanding of Windelbands systematic philosophy.
The goal of this project is to contribute to a better understanding of the historical and actual meaning and importance of neokantianism.

In this lecture, I will argue that Carnap’s changing views on the relation between formal system and experience in the 1920’s must be understood from his attempt to reconcile his Neokantian idea of accounting for the objectivity of knowledge with a Russellian conception of logic.
Traditionally, Carnap's work during the 1920's is interpreted as a gradual transition from Neokantianism (Der Raum) to foundationalist empiricism (Aufbau).
Backtracking, I argue that with this Russelian conception, Carnap could fill the gap left in his philosophy by the elimination of intuitive space.

 The Leiter Reports: Editorials, News, Updates: Nietzsche Myths #2   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
Reality: In the mid-1870s, Nietzsche went through a phase of unabashed "science worship," viewing natural science as the paradigm of all genuine knowledge; the culmination of this period came with Human, All-too-Human.
This gave way, however, in the early 1880s to a NeoKantian skepticism (inspired by Schopenhauer and Friedrich Lange) about whether science could plumb the depths of reality, of the world-as-it-is-in-itself.
Once Nietzsche repudiated, however, the metaphysical distinction between a noumenal and phenomenal world on which this skepticism rests, the skepticism about science vanishes and in his later works he repeatedly endorses a scientific perspective as the correct or true one (in contrast to, e.g., religious and moral interpretations of phenomena).

 Riviste - Massimo Ferrari, Cassirer, Natorp e l’immagine di Platone
Together with Hermann Cohen's essay about Plato's theory of knowledge (1878), the detailed analysis of Platonic dialogues set forth by Natorp represents a milestone within the tradition of Marburg Neokantianism, both from a systematic and from a historical point of view.
Ernst Cassirer was well acquainted with this Neokantian interpretation of Plato, and from the start of his philosophical career paid great attention to Plato's influence on the origins of modern science and philosophical thought.
When Cassirer elaborated the “Philosophy of Symbolic Forms” (1923-1929), he was no more satisfied with the Marburg epistemological interpretation of Plato as well as with the ontological rethinking of Plato's thought put forth by Natorp in his late work.

I worry that PL cannot justify this goal without assuming a substantial portion of a neoKantian picture of the self, autonomy and morality.
Indeed, much of the language in the article sounds neoKantian: "some level of awareness of alternative ways of life is a prerequisite.
Furthermore, it seems to me that this neoKantian picture is itself "deeply partisan and not easily defended" (p.

 H. L. A. Hart - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Hart's method combined the careful analysis of twentieth-century analytic philosophy with the jurisprudential tradition of Jeremy Bentham, the great English legal, political, and moral philosopher.
Hart was also influenced by Austrian legal philosopher Hans Kelsen, though Hart rejected two distinctive features of Kelsen's positivism: the idea that law necessarily requires sanctions; and the NeoKantian idea that a normative social phenomenon could not be explained purely in terms of social facts.
In rejecting the "purity" of Kelsen's "pure theory of law," Hart broke decisively with Kelsen.

Where the neoKantians (in this case the Hegelian sort, not the historicists) naturalize (rather mythologize or ontologize) Kantian critical epistemology, the dialectical materialists naturalize (again ontologize...
If Marxism was all about this form of historicism then I would be agreeing with Popper (on this and hardly anything else).
However, Marx is unique in his recognition of historicism in the neoKantian tradition and this is what is overlooked time and time again.

 Robert Christgau: A Rock & Roll Critic Is Something to Be
I had dropped out of high school, and cocooned myself for what turned out to be a five year crash course in remedial self-education.
Starting with beat poetry and the theater of the absurd, I moved on to Eugene Genovese's marxist historiography and Robert Paul Wolff's neokantian philosophy, eventually finding a way to reason about the world.
Then, transformed, I ventured out to college, finding a nest of new leftists in St. Louis and an underground paper to work on.

 Notes 3: Pure concepts of the understanding
Hegel criticized what he took to be the merely empirical character of Kant's procedure here.
At the end of the nineteenth century, Hermann Cohen and other neokantian philosophers suggested that the true source of the categories lies in principles underlying the epistemology of Newtonian science, principles which Kant tries to establish at the end of the Transcendental Analytic, after the transcendental deduction.
Martin Heidegger claimed that the true source of the categories lay in Kant's doctrine of synthesis of the imagination, which Heidegger treated as giving the relation of human being to time.

The religious aspect of experience has received special attention in the works of Höffding, Berdyaev, and Barth; Grabmann, Geyser, and Maritain have been concerned with Scholasticism.
NeoKantian doctrine has continued in the thought of Cassirer, Natorp, and Ortega y Gasset; scientific method has had great influence on Driesch, Turro y Darder, and Schlick.
The philosophy of physical science has been the special interest of Planck and Frank.

 George Herbert Mead: Scientific Method and Individual Thinker   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
Research-science presents a world whose form is always universal, but this universal form is neither a metaphysical assumption nor a fixed form of the understanding.
While the scientist may as a metaphysician assume the existence of realities which lie beyond a possible experience, or be a Kantian or NeoKantian, neither of these attitudes is necessary for his research.
He may be a positivist -- a disciple of Hume or of John Stuart Mill.

 Bohm, Bell, and Boom! Quantum Mechanics and the End of Modern Dualism   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
Larger point: moreover, the kind of epistemology and metaphysics developed in the Copenhagen school, while including the empiricist side of philosophy/science, also (re)turn us squarely towards the idealist side of philosophy/science - specifically, the (neo)Kantian view that stresses that the knowing subject is inextricably bound up with the construction of what is known/experienced.
Another point: The complementarity at work in Quantum Mechanics - e.g., in the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle (the more one knows about location, the less one knows about velocity and vice-versa) and the wave/particle duality of subatomic entities - thus not only represents a fundamental rejection of the Cartesian dualism that dominated modern science;
i) How does Heisenberg's view of especially the neokantian character of the Copenhagen Interpretation of quantum theory fit with the views we have seen expressed by Pine, Peat, and others?

 Husserl, Heidegger, and the Space of Meaning   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
This book calls into question many well entrenched ideas about Heidegger.
In contrast to the common view of Heidegger as a mystic or a philosopher of life, Crowell details the important influence of neoKantian transcendental philosophy on the young Heidegger and traces Heidegger's criticism of neoKantianism on the topics of intentionality, Evidenz, logic, and subjectivity.
Crowell also challenges the received view that Heidegger rejects the reduction, the transcendental ego, and Husserl's turn to idealism in Ideas I. Also by this Author Crowell, Steven Galt
