Immanuel Kant on Knowledge - Dictionary of Arguments
Stroud I 130 Knowledge/skepticism/KantVsDescartes: Who reads a proof needs to know at the end. Problem: this is only possible in the sciences, not in philosophy. KantVsTradition: Kant treats knowledge of the outer world always indirectly or inferentially. Solution/Kant: immediate perception / = consciousness of external things. That is a sufficient proof of their reality. - With inferential access skepticism would be inevitable. Per skepticism: forces to show that we have acquired our knowledge. KantVsMoore/Stroud: Moore does not show this. I 134 Skepticism/Kant: is refuted only by a proof of realism. >Reality/Kant, >Perception/Kant, >Experience/Kant, >Realism/Kant, >Skepticism._____________Explanation of symbols: Roman numerals indicate the source, arabic numerals indicate the page number.
