Positing or Predicating? Existence after Kant

许多核心哲学问题，例如柏拉图主义与唯名论，都涉及特定种类的事物的存在或存在。因此，清楚地把握存在的概念具有根本的哲学意义。康德关于存在概念的开创性新观点通常被视为关于对存在概念的分析的范式转变。在这个项目中，我们的目标是表明我们对这种范式变化的理解还没有完全理解，并且低估了它的潜力。我们将挖掘迄今被忽视的19世纪哲学家对康德的回应。这将丰富我们对康德的理解，并开辟理解存在的新途径。

Many central philosophical issues, such as Platonism versus Nominalism, concern the existence or being of particular kinds of things. A clear grasp of the notion of existence is therefore of fundamental philosophical importance. Kant’s ground breaking new perspective on the notion of existence is generally seen as a paradigm change concerning the analysis of the concept of existence. In this project, we aim to show that our understanding of this paradigm change is not yet fully understood and underestimated in its potential. We will mine the contributions of so far neglected 19th century philosophers that responded to Kant. This will enrich our understanding of Kant and open up new ways to understand existence.
