- Title
Kantian Circularity: Maimon on Causal Scepticism and the Status of the Hypothetical Judgement.
- Authors
Fitton, Emily
- Abstract
A key theme throughout Maimon's works is a circularity he diagnoses at the heart of Kant's response to Hume. The objective validity of Kant's category of causality ultimately rests, Maimon argues, upon the logical status of the hypothetical judgement – on its inclusion among the forms of pure general logic. In turn, however, the inclusion of the hypothetical within pure general logic itself rests upon the objective validity of causal judgements. This article examines Maimon's diagnosis and traces it back to a debate that has its origins in Wolff's German Logic , concerning the relationship between categorical and hypothetical judgements.
