Immanuel Kant on Representation - Dictionary of Arguments
Lanz in Hügli/Lübke, Philosophie des 20. Jahrhunderts, Reinbek 1993 I 279 ff Representation/Lanz: Materialism Vs: (VsNagel, Vs Jackson Vs Kripke): it is not about different types of information (subjective contra objective), but about several distinctive skills. One recognizes a feature due to propositional knowledge about it - another detects a feature due to sensory states. So it is not about different types of objects in the world, but about different types of representation of objects in the world. (> Identity thesis). - - - Brandom I 156 Representation/Kant: is involved in inferential relations between judgements. >Judgments/Kant. Hegel: reverses it: assumes experience as inferential activity. - - - Danto I 211 Kant/Danto: Kant is also representationalist. There is no phenomenon of continuity, which would have explained the continuity of phenomena. Mental Synthesis. >Synthesis/Kant. We need an x to refer the continuity to it, even if continuity itself would only be the result of a work of the mind. These mechanisms are never present to the consciousness. >Consciousness/Kant._____________Explanation of symbols: Roman numerals indicate the source, arabic numerals indicate the page number.
