Why Does Kant Distinguish Appearances from Things in Themselves?
Could Entropy Be a Natural Resistance Encountered by Reason?— Reflections on the Work of Fields Medalist Yu Deng
The discussion following the Fields Medals focused on Yu Deng’s proof linking reversible microscopic motion to irreversible macroscopic behavior, illuminating entropy’s complexity. His research, while mathematically intricate, provides a philosophical framework that suggests entropy represents structural resistance in reason, enhancing our understanding of the relationship between mathematics and natural phenomena.
Kant’s Antinomies Did Not Abolish Either-Or Thinking
The world has a beginning in time and is limited in space, while the opposite holds true for space. This highlights the interplay between temporal and spatial aspects. Additionally, freedom as a kind of causality must exist alongside natural causality, challenging the notion that everything occurs solely according to natural laws.
Returning to Kant: Clearing the Residue of Hegelian Thought and Its Marxian Consequences
Kant’s philosophy provides a robust framework for understanding the enduring impact of Hegelian thought and its Marxian ramifications. By revisiting Kant’s ideas, we can critically assess how these concepts continue to shape contemporary theoretical discourse.
How to Study Kant’s Philosophy
康德哲学的核心在于构建先验结构，使经验成为知识，并为道德和行动设定先验条件。通过纯粹理性批判，康德揭示了知识和实践理性的统一，强调理性在认识和道德中的核心作用。
康德三大批判的整体总结 Overall Summary of Kant’s Three Critiques
第一批判：确立自然科学的必然性。
第二批判：确立道德自由的必然性。
第三批判：通过美与目的，调和自然必然与道德自由。
《判断力批判》第一部分·审美判断力批判 → 第五章 审美判断的反思 (Reflection on Aesthetic Judgment)
这一部分是美学的总结与深化，康德在此探讨艺术、天才、象征与美与道德的关系。
《判断力批判》第一部分·审美判断力批判 → 第四章 审美判断的二律背反 (Antinomy of Taste)
我们继续 第一部分·审美判断力批判 → 审美判断的二律背反 (Antinomie des Geschmacks / Antinomy of Taste)。这是康德在美学部分的一个关键论证环节，它延续了他在《纯粹理性批判》中常用的“二律背反”方法，用来揭示审美判断中的矛盾，并尝试化解。
《判断力批判》第一部分·审美判断力批判 → 第三篇 审美判断的演绎 (Deduction of Pure Aesthetic Judgments)
这一章在康德体系中非常重要，它试图回答：为什么美的判断虽属主观，却能要求普遍性？
