In this book, Dennis Schulting presents a staunch defence of Kant's
radical subjectivism about the possibility of knowledge. This
defence is mounted by means of a comprehensive analysis of what is
arguably the centrepiece of Kant's Critique of Pure Reason, namely,
the Transcendental Deduction of the Categories. Radical
subjectivism about the possibility of knowledge is to be understood
as the thesis that the possibility of knowledge of objects
essentially and wholly depends on subjective functions of thought,
or the capacity to judge by virtue of transcendental apperception,
given sensory input. Subjectivism thus defined is not about merely
the necessary conditions of knowledge, but nor is it claimed that
it grounds the very existence of things. Novel interpretations are
provided of such central themes as the objective unity of
apperception, the threefold synthesis, judgement, truth and
objective validity, spontaneity in judgement, figurative synthesis
and spatial unity, nonconceptual content, idealism and the thing in
itself, and material synthesis. One chapter is dedicated to the
interpretation of the Deduction by Kant's most prominent successor,
G.W.F. Hegel, and throughout Schulting critically engages with the
work of contemporary readers of Kant such as Lucy Allais, Robert
Hanna, John McDowell, Robert Pippin, and James Van Cleve.
