Standardni narativ rane moderne filozofije: Glavni nedostaci i Kantov uticaj

Abstract

Tokom dvadesetog veka na engleskom govornom području uspostavljen je standardni narativ rane moderne filozofije prema kome se svi autori ovog perioda dele u dve škole mišljenja: racionalističku i empirističku. Glavni cilj postavljen u ovom tekstu jeste da se ispitivanjem centralnih odlika ovog narativa pokaže njegova nepot- punost i neadekvatnost u prikazivanju filozofskih odnosa koji su postojali među figu- rama sedamnaestog i osamnaestog veka. Videćemo da su u poslednjih nekoliko dece- nija iznete ubedljive kritike ove teorije, kojima se predočavaju njeni glavni nedostaci. Drugi cilj ovog rada jeste da se, analizom tekstova Imanuela Kanta, pokaže da on nije odgovoran za stvaranje i širenje ovog narativa, iako se u sekundarnoj literaturi često ističe suprotno.

During the twentieth century, a standard narrative of early modern philosophy was established in the English-speaking world, according to which all authors of this period were divided into two schools of thought: rationalist and empiricist. The main goal set in this text is to examine the central features of this narrative to show its incompleteness and inadequacy in presenting the relations that existed between the figures of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. We will see that convincing critiques of this theory have been made in the last few decades, which point out its main flaws. The second goal of this paper is to show, by analyzing the texts of Immanuel Kant, that he is not responsible for the creation and dissemination of this narrative, although in the secondary literature the opposite is often claimed.
