Kantian

From Wikinfo

Of, or pertaining to, the Philosophy of Immanuel Kant. Kantian principles generally include:

• an ontological privileging of the subject over objective reality, which can never be known
• a dependence on subjectivity for the cohesion of the moral law, and
• the celebration of individual viewpoints for the creation of the beautiful and sublime.

The development of Kantian principles has become a school of thought in itself. It was William James who joked, the history of Philosophy goes around Kant rather than through him, but many would take issue with that: Schopenhauer, Ficte, Hegel, Marx, [[S�ren Kierkegaard|Kierkegaard]], Nietzsche would have been among them, including Heidegger, Derrida, Deleuze, and others. The extension, testing and modifications of Kantian principles reverberate throughout Philosophy, from Post-Kantian to Neo-Kantian methodologies, inspiring younger Philosophers in the twenty-first century to classify themselves as Kantian or Neo-Kantian.
