Post-Neo-Kantianism

"Not to be confused with Post-Kantianism"

Post-Neo-Kantianism refers to a philosophical movement that emerged as a response to both traditional Post-Kantianism and Neo-Kantianism. It represents a further development and reinterpretation of Immanuel Kant's transcendental philosophy.

One of the notable characteristics of post-neo-Kantianism is its focus on the study of the conditions of possibility for knowledge and experience. It emphasizes the role of the subject's cognitive faculties, such as intuition, understanding, and reason, in shaping our knowledge of the world.

Notable figures associated with post-neo-Kantianism include Hermann Cohen, Wilhelm Windelband, Heinrich Rickert, and Ernst Cassirer, among others. Each of these philosophers contributed to the development of post-neo-Kantian ideas and offered unique interpretations of Kant's philosophy in light of the challenges of their time.

Renewed interest in Hegel's philosophy
Post-neo-Kantianism acknowledges the differences between Kant's philosophy and Hegel's idealism while seeking to build upon Kantian ideas. There is a trend towards finding positive aspects in Hegel's philosophy, aiming to integrate his historical and dialectical methods with Kant's system of critical idealism.

Renewed interest in the system within philosophy
While systemic structures in philosophy faced criticism from various philosophical movements and postmodernism, post-neo-Kantianism recognizes the importance of systemic structures. However, it redefines the understanding of the system by emphasizing the role of the subject and the infinity of experience.

Reliance on the methodological framework (Logicism)
Post-neo-Kantian philosophy utilizes a methodological framework known as logicism, which seeks to complete the Kantian project of metaphysics as a science. This involves the concept of correlation, the principle of mediation, and the exploration of a priori concepts such as subjectivity.

Radical Anti-Ontology
Post-neo-Kantianism aims to develop and finalize the Kantian notion of scientific metaphysics. It distinguishes itself from Neo-Kantianism by presenting a more apparent realism concerning objective being and empirical subject. It rejects the idea that Heidegger's fundamental ontology or Hartmann's new ontology align with Kant's transcendentalism.
