Comment on Sean Kelly's "Heidegger, Kant and Conceptualism"

JOSÉ GIROMINI

Workshop; II Workshop sobre Conceptos y Percepción; 2012

Centro de Investigaciones de la Facultad de Filosofía y Humanidades

Sean Kelly presents us with a fine historical clash between a Hegelian and Heideggerian reading of Kant in order to take part himself in the contemporary, and always renovated, clash between conceptualists and non-conceptualists. Although I am very sympathetic to this kind of approach to the history of philosophy, I will not dwell on the details of his reconstructions of the illustrious reconstructions of Kant. Rather, I will try to summarize the argument he develops out of this historical material and raise some minor doubts concerning it.
