Description
(Short description)
Kant untersucht die kognitiven Bedingungen dafür, dass der Mensch objektiv wahrheitsfähige Urteile, sogenannte »Erfahrungsurteile«, bilden kann. Er fragt, warum diese trotz ihrer subjekt-relativen Wahrnehmungsbasis objektiv wahr sein können. Der Autor zeichnet Kants methodischen Weg zu dessen Ziel nach: Die komplexen Tiefenstrukturen von einfachen Erfahrungsurteilen, wie etwa »Die Sonne erwärmt den Stein«, zu klären und zu zeigen, inwiefern die objektive Wahrheitsfähigkeit dieser Urteile von den Tiefenstrukturen abhängen. Dieser Band ist der erste von zwei Bänden zu Kants Erfahrungstheorie. Diese Studie stellt die Binnenstruktur von Immanuel Kants Theorie der Erfahrung dar.

This study shows the inner workings of Immanuel Kant´s Theory of Experience. Kant investigated what the cognitive necessities are for humans to make objective and true judgments, so-called empirical judgments. He asks why such judgments can be objectively true even though they are based on a subjective and relative basis. In this volume the author follows Kant´s methodological path to his final goal: determining the complex deep structures behind simple empirical judgments, such as "The sun is warming the rock," and showing the extent to which the objective truthfulness of such judgments depends on these deep structures. This is the first of two volumes on Kant´s Theory of Experience.

(Extract)
g. a principle of substantiality and a principle of causality, thereby showing why we are justified to rely - as well in our common daily life as in scientific research - on the possibility to acquire a steadily growing, coherent set of objective veridical judgements of experience, though this set will never exhaust the absolute whole of our possible experience.
