Motto:
”The public use of reason is not only a civil right, but also a moral duty.” (Marcel Chelba’s synthetic formulation of the fundamental idea of Immanuel Kant’s critical philosophy.)
This blog is a tribute to Kant’s critical philosophy and philosophical thought in general.
Kant is the greatest. Everybody feels this, but nobody can yet say clearly why, because nobody has yet really understood Kant (I argue, in a certain spirit of sporting, not warlike, defiance).
To understand Kant you have to know at least as much math, logic and physics as he did. Kant not only had a broad scientific background, but also genuine scientific thinking. I don’t know how many of Kant’s exegetes could boast that. At any rate, none of his opponents. That is why Kant found recognition among scientists rather than modern philosophers.
The main objective of this blog is to highlight the implicit confirmations that Kant has received from the modern sciences, i.e. from our empirical experiences.
My fundamental thesis is that Kant’s transcendental aesthetics is the epistemological paradigm of the modern sciences. In other words, in my view, the modern sciences are the empirical confirmation of Kant’s epistemology. This is of paramount importance in the history of universal culture and civilization, because in this way, through the empirical validation of Kant’s epistemology, his ethics is also validated. How? I will show in the papers I will publish next on this blog.
