from Part IV - Kant on Dogmatism and Scepticism
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 11 May 2023
This chapter has two aims. First, I want to provide an interpretation of Kant’s critique of dogmatism, with Christian Wolff as the chief defender of that approach. I distinguish between three different characterizations of dogmatism that Kant provides. I show that Kant regards Wolff as a dogmatist in two of these senses and explain how he can consistently hold that view. Second, I aim to offer an account of Kant’s views on the relationship between his ‘critical’ method and Wolff’s ‘dogmatic’ method, since Kant suggests that the latter is not without its merits.
