Ontology as Transcendental Philosophy
How does the critical Kant view ontology? There is no shared scholarly answer to this question. Norbert Hinske sees in the Critique of Pure Reason a âfarewell to ontology,â albeit one that took Kant long to bid (Hinske 2009). Karl Ameriks has found evidence in Kantâs metaphysics lectures from the critical period that he âwas unwilling to break away fully from traditional ontologyâ (Ameriks 1992: 272). Gualtiero Lorini argues that a decisive break with the tradition of ontology is essential to Kantâs critical reform of metaphysics, as is reflected in his shift from âontologyâ to âtranscendental philosophy,â two notions that Lorini takes to be related by mere âanalogyâ (Lorini 2015).
I agree with Lorini that a thorough reform of ontology is a pivotal part of Kantâs critical plan for metaphysics and that ontology somehow âsurvives within the critical philosophyâ (Lorini 2015: 76). To make this case, however, I deem it important to identify âontologyâ and âtranscendental philosophyâ in the sense of extensional equivalence. While we can detect this identification in Kantâs writings, only from his metaphysics lectures can we get a full sense of its historical and philosophical significance. In this chapter I focus on how it represents a definitive turn from as well as notable continuity with traditional treatments of ontology, particularly the Wolffian one
A Guide to Ground in Kant's Lectures on Metaphysics
While scholars have extensively discussed Kantâs treatment of the Principle of Sufficient Ground in the Antinomies chapter of the Critique of Pure Reason, and, more recently, his relation to German rationalist debates about it, relatively little
has been said about the exact notion of ground that figures in the PSG.
My aim in this chapter is to explain Kantâs discussion of ground in the
lectures and to relate it, where appropriate, to his published discussions of
ground
