"Under the Guise of the Good" : Kant and a Tenet of Moral Rationalism
Full text linkBoth in historical debates and in recent discussions, the Guise of the Good Thesis represents a genuine dogma of rationalism in moral philosophy. Many influential commentators have maintained that Kant belongs in that camp, even that he “explicitly endorses” the Thesis. Attributing the Thesis to Kant, however, faces scarce textual support and amounts to a dubious understanding of the relationship of Kant’s moral philosophy to previous rationalist views. I suggest that, in Kant’s view, the Thesis only applies to the determination of the will through the moral law. The principle that prior rationalists regarded as descriptive acquires in Kant’s terms a normative status

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
À propos de l’origine de l’histoire: entre Kant et Schiller
No full textCome l’origine del linguaggio, così anche quella della storia ha tentato i grandi pensatori del Settecento, ponendoli di fronte a ciò che non può essere trasceso dal pensiero o di cui non esiste propriamente fonte diretta. Per questo, come nel caso del linguaggio, anche in quello della storia il testo sacro ha fornito un’opzione fondamentale per la riflessione, non già per il suo valore di testimonianza attendibile, quanto per il ruolo che esso esercita sulla tradizione. La comunicazione intende confrontare le posizioni di Kant e Schiller, mostrando come le loro versioni dell’origine della storia pongano le premesse della posizione dell’uomo nel cosmo, correlata alla sua destinazione naturale e morale.
De même que celle du language, ainsi l’origine de l’histoire a été l’object de considération de la part des grands penseurs allemands du XVIIIème siècle, les plaçant vis-à-vis de ce qui ne peut pas être transcendé par la pensée ou qui n’a aucune chance d’être connu d’une manière directe. Par conséquent, dans les deux cas le texte sacré a représenté une référence fondamentale pour la réflexion philosophique: pas à cause de sa valeur en tant que preuve digne de foi, mais plutôt pour le rôle que son récit a exercé dans la tradition. Notre communication vise à comparer les écrits que Kant et Schiller ont consacrés à telle question, montrant comment leurs personnelles versions de l’origine de l’histoire ont déterminé la position particulière de l’homme dans le cosmos, liée à sa destination naturelle et morale
Schiller ohne Kant. Die Krise der Liebe als Moralprinzip diesseits des Kritizismus
No full textThis paper aims to show the originality of Schiller's early philosophy, which is anything but naive and a passive repetition of late-Enlightenment mainstream thought. In particular, the ethics of the young Schiller challenges moral-sense philosophy as a system lacking consistency and ends up considering love as an inadequate basis for morality. From this perspective, Schiller's later endorsement of Kant's purity thesis and rational foundation of ethics turns out to confirm Schiller's previous achievements rather than subverting them, as often assumed
Der Begriff des Übersinnlichen im Licht des „Systems der Kritik“
No full textDie Notion des An-und-fuer sich stellt letztendlich kein kognitives Problem und keine entscheidende ontologische Frage, setzt aber die schrittweise Beschreibung der formalen Beschaffenheit des Systems der Gemuetsvermoegen in einen Sinnhorizont. Sie ermoeglicht ein kritisches Bewusstsein von dem, was uns ein Erkenntnisgegenstand sein oder nicht sein kann, und macht es moeglich in der Erfahrung ueber die notwendigen Bedingungen ihrer Moeglichkeit kritisch zu reflektieren
L'infini potentiel et actuel dans la philosophie des mathématiques de Kant
No full textNel contributo si mostra come, secondo Kant, l'infinito attuale sia un concetto non utilizzabile in matematica, tuttavia legittimo sotto il profilo logico, e rappresenti una sorta di concetto limite per tutto ciò che è finito. Si mostra altresì come Kant, tenendo presenti le riflessioni leibniziane sulla legge di continuità, consideri la grandezza infinitamente piccola come un concetto non solo legittimo sotto il profilo logico, ma anche utilizzabile con profitto nella scienza della natura
