Kant and the problem of the external world
Main Article Content
Abstract
This paper examines Kant's doctrine of Transcendental Idealism in relation to the Problem of the External World, approaching it from the perspective of the Philosophy of Perception. The research proposes that there are convincing arguments for evaluating the Kantian doctrine under these criteria and suggests that, in doing so, it follows that Transcendental Idealism cannot be classified as an idealist stance that denies the existence of extramental objects or properties. This analysis provides a deeper understanding of the scope and implications of Kant's Transcendental Idealism in the context of the philosophy of perception, thus contributing to the scholarly debate on the nature of knowledge and reality.
