Analytic philosophy has leveled many challenges to Kant's
ascription of necessary properties and relations to objects in his
Critique of Pure Reason. Some of these challenges can be answered,
it is argued here, largely in terms of techniques belonging to
analytic philosophy itself, in particular, to its philosophy of
language. This Kantian response is the primary objective of this
book. It takes the form of a compromise between the real existence
of the objects that we can intuit and that get our knowledge
started - dubbed initiators - and the ideality of the necessary
properties and relations that Kant ascribes to our sensible
representations of initiators, which he entitles appearances.
Whereas the real existence of initiators is independent of us and
our senses, the necessity of these properties and relations of
appearances is due to their origins in the mind. The Kantian
compromise between real existence and ideal necessity is formulated
in terms of David Kaplan's interpretation of de re necessity in his
article, "Quantifying In" - his response to Quine's concern that a
commitment to such a necessity leads to an acceptance of an
unwanted traditional Aristotelian essentialism. In addition, the
book first abstracts and then departs from its interpretation of
Kant to provide a realistic account of the relation between
existence and de re necessity.
