Marco Bettoni: Foundations of Constructivism     next


Analytic of concepts


  • Immanuel Kant (1724 - 1804)

 

  • Critique of Pure Reason (1781, 1787)

 

  • "Copernican Revolution":  new concept of 'object'

 

  • 'connection ... can never come to us through the senses'

 

  • 'we cannot think of anything as connected in the object which we have not ourselves previously connected'

 

  • 'we know the object when we have produced synthetic unity in the spatio-temporal manifold'
