ML: The transcendental idea: from Immanuel Kant to Robert Brandom WF-FI-123-WMT-PL22
The subject of the lecture will be the emergence and development of the transcendental idea and method in philosophy, starting with Kant, through the German idealism of the 19th century, the neo-Kantianism of the Marburg School, Husserl's phenomenology, and the contemporary revival of the transcendental approach in the philosophies of John McDowell, John Rawls, Robert Brandom. An attempt at a contemporary application of the transcendental approach as a kind of hermeneutics will be presented. This interpretation stipulates that the transcendental approach can ground the idea of understanding while keeping the skepticism about the transcendental grounding of cognition.

1. Kant: the concept of transcendental conditions of cognition
2. Maimon: the early reception of Kantianism
3.. Fichte: radicalization of the subject of cognition
4. Schelling: the system of transcendental idealism
5. Emerson: American transcendentalism
6. Hegel: the transcendental idea in the "Phenomenology of Spirit"
7. Hegel: the transcendental idea in "Logic"

9. the Neo-Kantianism of the Marburg School: Cassirer

11. Kelsen: transcendentalism in the philosophy of law
12. transcendentalism and analytic philosophy: John McDowell
