- 요약This dissertation offers a new outline for and defense of the epistemological reading of transcendental idealism, the philosophical system put forward by Immanuel Kant in the Critique of Pure Reason (1781/7). A central claim of transcendental idealism is that we can only cognize things as they appear; we cannot cognize things as they are in themselves. According to the epistemological reading of transcendental idealism, the distinction between appearances and things in themselves ('the transcendental distinction') is not a metaphysical distinction but a distinction between different ways of considering things. The epistemological reading stands in contrast to metaphysical readings, which take the transcendental distinction to be a metaphysical distinction. Over the past two decades, metaphysical readings have come to be the preferred reading among Kant scholars, and, thanks to powerful criticisms put forward by metaphysically-inclined readers, the epistemological reading has come to be deemed unsalvageably confused. This dissertation attempts to challenge the prevailing orthodoxy by showing the epistemological reading to be coherent and capable of countering the criticisms it has faced.In the first chapter, I formulate the main commitments of the epistemological reading, and, drawing on the Fregean notion of mode of presentation, develop a new outline for the epistemological reading modeled on a contemporary defense of physicalism known as the phenomenal concept strategy. In the second chapter, I respond to the major objections that the epistemological reading has faced, such as the objection that it cannot accommodate ordinary intuitions about the essential spatiotemporality of empirical objects. In the third chapter, I address the main misunderstandings of the epistemological reading, most of which have to do with the role played by the notion of abstraction in the epistemological reader's account of things in themselves, and discuss how the proposed reading differs from moderate or one-object metaphysical readings of transcendental idealism. In the fourth chapter, I argue that the textual evidence in favor of the epistemological reading cannot be explained away by metaphysical readers, and that the epistemological reading is able to accommodate passages that may prima facie seem to contradict it.
