A transzcendentális filozófia változatai: Salomon Maimon Kant-kritikája
Versions of Transcendental Philosophy: A Critique of Immanuel Kant by Salomon Maimon

Summary/Abstract: In this paper I want to outline some aspects of Salomon Maimon’s critique of Kant, to examine them and compare them with Kant’s original ideas. I do this with a view to contributing to the otherwise old but still topical problem of whether there can be a non-Kantian version of transcendental philosophy that replaces purely conditional premises of possibility with genetic ones, thereby examining the premises of possibility not of all possible experiences but of all real experiences, without rejecting the basic idea of the transcendental turn in the Kantian sense. The hypothesis of my paper is that Maimon attempted to construct just such a philosophy in his major work, Versuch über die Transcendentalphilosophie. ”Versuch” originally means experiment, test: it is in this work that Maimon “tries his luck” in the field of transcendental philosophy. I have tried to highlight certain stages of this complex journey.
