Kant s transcendentalidealismhasfacedtheobjectionthatitamountstoacompleteidealism thatiscontrarytoareasonableformofrealismconcerningtheexistenceofouter,mindindependent objects. In the recent literature there have been several attempts to find interpretationsofcentraldoctrinesinkant scritiqueofpurereasonthatdon tgiverise tothoseaccusationsandtrytoshowthattranscendentalidealismiscompatiblewitha brandofreasonablerealism.startingwiththeaimtogointhesamedirection,thepaper thenanalysestheshortcomingsofthoseinterpretations(allais,langton,rosefeldt).in the paper I defend the following claims: The claim that transcendental idealism is no genuine realism and not compatible with any form of reasonable realism may be justified by text evidences, it is however myopic. An adequate understanding of the conceptofappearanceontheonehandandthecapacityofknowledgeontheotherhand enables a reading of Kant s transcendental idealism that is compatible with an acceptableformofrealism.tomakethispossibleigiveareadingoftheobjectsinspace and time and the capacity of knowledge that takes them both to be entities with dispositional properties. Thus, the reference of the capacities of knowledge to the objects in space and time is understood as mutual manifestation of dispositions. This reading takes up scattered interpretations of Kant in terms of dispositions (Watkins, Rosefeldt),butdevelopsthemrelevantlyfurther.Theideaisthatadispositionalaccount canmakesenseofkant sclaimthatreasonprescribesthelawstonaturewithouttaking ittomeanthatnatureismind dependent.onthecontrary,thedeterminatepropertiesof objects in space and time are products of mutual manifestations of dispositions, the objectsdispositionsontheonehandandthecapacitiesofknowledge sdispositionson theother.inthelastsectionofthepaperthisaccountisdefendedagainstobjections.

According to the second conception empirical laws are laws if they are part of a complete and comprehensive system of only empirical laws; according to this conception empirical laws are laws because they are part of a complete system of the empirical laws that fulfils further conditions of systematicity, one of them being simplicity. In a last paragraphicomparekant sviewsonempiricallawswiththeramsey Lewisbestsystem account with the laws supervening on loose facts. One problem of such accounts is to give an explanation why our believe that the laws of the best system are the genuine laws of nature is rational. I show that Kant s conception of the simplest system of empirical laws differs from the Lewis Ramsey view in that Kant gives an a priori justification for the systematicity conditions, and hence an explanation for the rationality of our believe in the best system, whereas Lewis must concede that it dependsoncontingentfactwhetherwehaveepistemicaccesstothebestsystemoflaws ornot,hencehecanonlyappealtothereliabilityofourscientificknowledgetoexplain therationalityofourbelieve. DasProblemdesWiderspruchsinHegelsSystem. In:LogikundRealität.WiesystematischistHegelsSystem?Chr.Jamme/Y. Kubo(Eds.).Paderborn:Fink2012(forthcoming). In this paper I analyse Hegel s concept of contradiction that is deeply rooted in his philosophy of dialectic. Traditional Hegel interpretation took it that Hegel held the provocative claim that there are true contradictions and even that the world is fundamentally constituted by contradictory facts. This interpretation led to the dismissalofhegel sphilosophybymostphilosophersonthebasisoftheallegationthat Hegelian thought contravenes the most fundamental principle of logic and that it is henceirrational.hegelscholarsofthelastdecadesfoughtfortheircontraryclaimthat Hegeldidnotassumethecontradictorynatureoftheworldbutthatheobeyedclassical logic and held that there are no true contradictions, in order to rehabilitate Hegel s

17 philosophy. My aim is to show on the one hand that this new Hegel interpretation is wrong,butthathegelactuallyheldtheclaimthattherearetruecontradictions.onthe other hand I also show that the motivation to reject this reading, the worry of irrationality, is maybe ill founded because the developments of non classical logics duringthelastdecadeshavealsoshownthatparaconsistentlogicalcalculiarepossible. There are even philosophers who think that this has ontological impact and that the world is at its outer limits contradictory (G. Priest). In the light of these recent developments I analyse Hegel s claim of the contradictory nature of the ontological fundamentoftheuniverseinhisconceptofconcept. Categoriesandtheontologyofpowers.Asemi dualistaccountof pandispositionalism. In:TheMetaphsicsofPowers.TheirGroundingandtheirManifestations. AnnaMarmodoro(Ed.).NewYork:Routledge2010,pp In this paper I critically examine several forms of dispositionalism, the claim that propertieshaveadispositionalnature.mymaintargetispandispositionalism,theview that all properties are dispositional and that they are exhausted by their dispositional nature. Pandispositionalism is an attractive view with respect to simplicity because it assumesonlyonekindofpropertyanditpromisestogivenewandbetteraccountsof laws of nature, causation and presumably also modality. Nevertheless, my paper is motivated by a concern that pandispositionalism cannot accommodate what I call the dualistintuition.thedualistintuitionis,asiclaim,anintuitionthatmotivatesanumber of arguments against pandispositionalism. I discuss those arguments and evaluate the pandispositionalist responses. It turns out that pandispositionalism is able to give persuasive replies to these objections, but it is not able to put the dualist intuition at rest. The reason, in my eyes, is that it cannot give a persuasive model of the unique structure of dispositional properties. Pandispositionalism claims that dispositional propertiesarepowers,theyenforcetheirbearers.theidentityofthosepowersisfixed by the manifestation of the powers. The manifestation of a power is numerically different power, the identity of power F is fixed by power G. Pandispositionalism also claimsthatatthesametimefisacauseofg.thereisanumberofobjectionsthattryto tackle pandispositionalism by showing that it involves vitious regresses.

Diss. Berlin/NewYork:DeGruyter2005(Kantstudien Ergänzungshefte146). My dissertation is about the complex of philosophical problems connected with the secondantinomyinkant scritiqueofpurereason.thesecondofthefourantinomiesof purereasonconsistsofthetwomutuallyexclusiveclaimsthatanycompositesubstance in the world consists of simple parts and that no composite thing is composed of simples. According to Kant this antinomy arises out of reason s aim to achieve the unconditioned.theyaremetaphysicalclaims,eachequallywelljustifiable.nevertheless Kantwantstoshowthatbothclaimstogetherpresupposeametaphysicalthesisandthat itisnotwithoutalternative.itisthethesisofempiricalrealism,sayingthatappearances are things in themselves. Kant thinks that empirical realism implies the principle of complete metaphysical determination which in turn goes along with the principle of bivalence.henceonlyifappearancesarethingsinthemselvesoneisjustifiedtobelieve that the objects of outer reality completely determinate in all their properties independentofthembeingdeterminedepistemically.hence,ofanypredicateeitheritor itsnegationappliestotheobjectinquestion.concerningthecompositionofmatterthis means, according to empirical realism matter either consists of simples or it doesn t, independent of matter being epistemically determined. Now Kant shows that if the thesis of empirical realism is given up and hence also the principles of complete determination and bivalence, which is equivalent with taking the thesis of transcendental idealism, we are able to conceive of the composition of matter as dependingonoursystematizingoftheinvolveddata.ishowthatinhiswritingsabout the metaphysics of nature, the Metaphysical Foundations of natural Science, the CritiqueofJudgment andalsointhe Opuspostumum Kantisbestunderstoodifone takes him to deal with the question of the composition of matter as relative to the a priori available models of composition, chosen on the basis of explanatory power. Therefore my thesis interprets Kant s theory of matter as a theory of model relativity. So, as I take Kant, his account amounts to the following: We think of matter as being composed of simples if we want to give an explanation of certain properties, if this meetsbesttherelevantdata.butwecanalsothinkofmatterasnotbeingcomposedof simples but as being some kind of continuous substance if we want to explain certain otherproperties,ifthismeetsbesttherelevantdata.sothequestionwhethermatteris composed of simples is relevant to us only if we take it as a question that can be empirically settled with devices that are given to us partly a priori.
