『순수이성비판』에서 지적 직관의 적극적 의미

초록

Intellectual intuition is both a concept created by Kant and one that he in appearance abandoned. It is a well-known that the proclamation of the deprivation of its authority is a central idea encapsulating the entirety of his transcendental philosophy. However, as the fervent discusses of critical philosophy waned and its focal points spread out, this concept was soon reinstated. The ultimate aim of this study is to show that while the heirs of critical philosophy, represented by Fichte and particularly the German idealists, are the subjects of this reinstatement, and in fact, Kant himself can also be considered a subject of that. The underlying idea of this argument is that the positive meaning of his concept of intellectual intuition remains truly inherent within his philosophy. Against this background, I will analyze the passages in the Critique of Pure Reason where Kant explicitly rejects intellectual intuition, in order to reveal its positive meaning. will then reproject this meaning onto those very passages, offering an alternative reading art through which a more positive interpretation can be found. In this process, I will also examine Kant’s remarks immediately before and after the publication of the Critique of Pure Reason, using them as a basis for this interpretative attempt. Through this approach, the study directly aims to reveal that even at the very point where Kant is known to have denied the possibility of intellectual intuition―namely, in the Critique of Pure Reason itself―can be discovered paradoxically its positive meaning.
