Evidence and explanation in Kant's doctrine of laws
Studi Kantiani 34:141-49 (2021)
Abstract
I emphasize two merits of Eric Watkins’ account in "Kant on Laws": the strong evidential support it has, and the central place it gives to Kant’s laws of mechanics. Then, I raise two questions for further research. 1. What kind of evidential reasoning confirms a Kantian law? 2. Do natures explain Kantian laws? If so, how?Author's Profile
