"Beyond Identity and Difference: The Metaphysics of Kant's Transcendental Distinction." (Joint work with Adam Katwan)

Abstract: Standard metaphysical readings of Kant’s transcendental distinction between noumena and phenomena understand this distinction to posit a grounding relation between two levels of reality. We call such readings “metaphysically dualistic” rather than “metaphysical” simpliciter, and we argue that they systematically commit Kant to claims about the identity or distinctness of noumena and phenomena that, by his own principles, he cannot hold. We then introduce an alternative interpretation of Kant’s transcendental distinction that does not incur any such problematic commitments. This interpretation, which is metaphysical without being metaphysically dualistic, involves a novel construal of Kant’s claim that noumena ground phenomena and sensible representations.
