Abstract

The book Liberalism and Skepticism is devoted to political philosophy. It argues that there are very solid grounds to infer that libertarianism, as political order is able to provide more efficient decision-making than any other conceivable order. Methods that have been applied to support this idea turn out to be appropriate for the theory of knowledge, which points out the link between knowledge acquiring itself and the political order. Among the issues discussed in the book are Hume's and C...

Abstract

Müssen wir den Skeptizismus als unkontrollierbare Bedrohung unserer Wissensansprüche anerkennen? Die gängigen antiskeptischen Strategien geben auf diese Frage letztlich keine befriedigende Antwort. Anhand der Differenzierung und Analyse der systematischen Formen des Skeptizismus in der theoretischen und praktischen Philosophie argumentiert diese Studie daher für die Strategie des integrativen Antiskeptizismus. Diese Strategie diagnostiziert den philosophischen Zweifel als unverzichtbaren Bestandteil menschlicher Rationalität und versucht ihn so zu beherrschen. Gegenstand sind der praktische, epistemische, moralische, interne und externe Skeptizismus. Grundlage der Untersuchung bildet die konkrete Konfrontation der pyrrhonischen Skepsis mit Hegel.

Abstract

"Kant considered it scandalous that philosophy had been unable to find a rational proof of the existence of the external world. Arguably, the scandal continues today, because scepticism remains a widely debated and extremely divisive issue among contemporary thinkers. Although scholars have devoted considerable attention to Kant's arguments against Cartesian scepticism, the literature still presents gaps and inaccuracies that obscure a full understanding of this issue and its significance for contemporary philosophy. In Kant and the Scandal of Philosophy, Luigi Caranti corrects this omission, providing a thorough historical analysis of Kant's anti-sceptical arguments from the pre-critical period up to the 'Reflexionen zum Idealismus' (1788-93)." "Caranti demonstrates how reconstructing Kant's critique of scepticism is crucial for understanding the origin of his philosophy and for avoiding serious mistakes that continue to serve as obstacles to the proper understanding of the Critique of Pure Reason. In particular, Caranti shows how the sceptical challenge leads Kant to the critical stage of his thought. Moreover, this study responds to recent criticism of transcendental idealism, showing how it can serve as the main premise of a powerful anti-sceptical argument whose main structure is suggested by Kant in the 1781 Fourth Paralogism."--Jacket
