Kennisleer contra Materie-Realisme: Bijdrage tot "Kritiek" en Kantbegrip

This work opens with a careful mapping of the problem of knowledge, asking how synthetic a‑priori judgments can be possible and revisiting Kant’s famous “Copernican” turn. It traces the development of the concept of causality through early modern philosophers, showing how each contributed to a growing tension between subjective forms of perception and an alleged thing‑in‑itself. The author lays out a systematic critique of the dual layers of perception—its content and its form—setting the stage for a deeper inquiry into the limits of human cognition.

From this foundation the author turns to a pointed attack on materialist realism, arguing that its claim to locate consciousness within the spatial world collapses under scientific scrutiny. By contrasting the stubborn dualism of older metaphysics with the subtle monistic alternatives of idealist parallelism, the text reveals hidden assumptions that shape contemporary debates in philosophy of mind. Listeners will be guided through a rich historical panorama and invited to reconsider how mind and nature might interact without resorting to either naïve materialism or empty idealism.
