...” demanding “demotion of space and time to mere forms of our sensory intuition.” This paper aims at an adequate understanding of Kant’s enigmatic idealist argument from handed objects, as well as an understanding of its relation to the other key supports of his idealism. The paper’s central finding...

..., provides the basis for a compelling argument for the indispensability of world-mind affection relations. Extended to the transcendental idealist framework, the same argument reveals noumenal affection as an indispensable presupposition of some knowledge claims consistently upheld by Kant. This leads...

... several challenges to Garber's interpretation, questioning, among other things, Garber's claims about development and Garber's account of Leibniz's primary arguments for the theory of monads. The article concludes that while crucial elements of the standard interpretation of Leibniz as an idealist can...

... of philosophy itself? This is the central issue of Franks’s book. His argument has four main parts. First, in chapters 1–3, he discusses the common prob- lems that both Kant and German idealists confront in terms of differing atti- tudes about dualism, monism, and skepticism. His starting point is a detailed...

... and Idealistic Philosophy (1949a), in which he used certain properties of this solution to argue for a kind of temporal idealism, whereby change [is] an illusion or an appearance due to our special mode of perception (202). The paper is short and to the point, but the argument has usually been regarded...

... “in itself” some forty-six times. Along the way, Adams makes several fascinating arguments. Within a sustained defense of irreducible thisnesses, for example, Adams presents a new counterexample to the Identity of Indiscernibles without drawing from outside his own broadly idealist toolkit...

... a materialist and atheist (see, e.g., Conway 1996 : chap. 9) only to be interpreted later as an idealist and accused of denying any reality to finite things (as did Hegel; see, e.g., Hegel 2010 : 328). A second but not independent example is the well-established debate as to the nature of the attributes...

..., and William Mandler), the thought of the British Idealists remains a largely undiscovered country. Widely viewed as an obscure outpost of Hegelianism, and therefore cut off from the main routes through the history of philosophy, it has been ignored by most histo- rians of ideas, except perhaps those...

... in attending to Kant’s arguments about space, substance, the a priori (for example), we learn much about space, substance, the a priori. He writes with directness, accessibility, and care; there can be few recent books on the problems of Kant’s First Critique that treat so great a range of arguments...

... sense of Kant’s philosophy than is typical of the Anglophone reception of Kant. Nevertheless, I think Kohl’s attempt to read Kant as but one more interlocutor in our contemporary philosophical conversation about freedom pushes his arguments in the wrong direction and fails to take account of some...

... on experience, sometimes on nature. From the “idealist” direc- tion, the complaint is, roughly, that McDowell separates experience (or nature) too much from conceptual or social activity and/or gives it too much of a foundational role. The “empiricist” criticism, in contrast, is that McDow- ell’s experience...

... that Leibniz must seem something of a paradox to contemporary readers. On the one hand, Leibniz is commonly held to have advanced a broadly idealist metaphysics according to which the world is ultimately grounded in mind-like monads whose properties are exhausted by their perceptions and appetites...
