Titel: What Is Lonergan Up to in Insight?

Stichwort: Erkenntnistheorie, Maßstab, Kant

Kurzinhalt: Begriff, Anschauung, concept, intuition; Kant: Empirist u.Idealist (Konzeptualist)

Textausschnitt: () 'Thoughts without content are empty, intuitions without concepts are blind' (eg: 'Gedanken ohne Inhalt sind leer, Anschauungen ohne Begriffe sind blind.) ... Though Kant, as well as Descartes, is often called an idealist, because of his stress on concepts, there are also ways in which, insisting on the double criterion of concept and sense experience, he remains an empiricist. He rules out most metaphysical questions as illegitimate, precisely because they are beyond the physical, that is, beyond sense experience or intuition. In this regard his position is the same as the early Augustine's: nothing can be real if it is not a body.
