Positing or Predicating? Existence after Kant

许多核心的哲学问题，如柏拉图主义与唯名论，都关注特定事物的存在或存在。因此，清楚地把握存在的概念，在哲学上具有根本的重要性。康德关于存在概念的开创性新视角通常被视为存在概念分析的范式变化。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尚未完全理解，并且低估了其潜力。我们将挖掘迄今为止被忽视的回应康德的19世纪哲学家的贡献。这将丰富我们对康德的理解，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.
