“Kant’s Spinozism Charge”

James Messina (Wisconsin, Madison)

Friday, January 18, 3-5:20 pm

Wieboldt 408

Abstract:

In the Critique of Practical Reason and other texts, Kant claims that transcendental realism leads inevitably to “Spinozism” and that the only way of avoiding it is to be a transcendental idealist. In contrast to other commentators who have called the Spinozism charge a “gimmick” and “patently problematic,” I try to show that Kant’s claim here rests on a serious argument – in fact, it rests on two such arguments, corresponding to two distinct forms of “Spinozism” (whose various Kantian meanings I clarify). I also try to explain how exactly transcendental idealism about space and time rules out these forms of Spinozism. I think exploring these issues sheds light on important aspects of (and interconnections between) Kant’s views on space and time, substance, Nature, God, and moral accountability.
