- Title
Alternate Possibilities, Divine Omniscience and Critique of Judgement §76.
- Authors
Brewer, Kimberly
- Abstract
A philosophically and historically influential section of the Critique of Judgement presents an 'intuitive intellect' as a mind whose representation is limited to what actually exists, and does not extend to mere possibilities. Kant's paradigmatic instance of such an intellect is however also the divine mind. This combination threatens to rule out the reality of the mere possibilities presupposed by Kant's theory of human freedom. Through an analysis of the relevant issues in metaphysical cosmology, modal metaphysics and philosophical theology, I show that Kant in fact possesses the resources to reconcile the philosophical claims of §76 of the Critique of Judgement with his keystone commitment to the reality of human freedom.
