Kant's concept of cognition and the key to the whole secret of metaphysics

Chong-Fuk Lau

pp. 117-137

Abstract

Kant's concept of cognition (Erkenntnis) has often been understood in terms of propositional knowledge. However, Kant's primary concern is not epistemological in the sense we understand it today, but rather about possible objects of cognition and their necessary structure. This chapter aims to unfold the ontological implications of Kant's concept of cognition.
