Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The modern Western theory of ideas was framed on the basis of the corpuscular-hypothetical distinction between outer “things themselves” on the one hand and inner “ideas” on the other; in this sense, it is a “naturalistic” one. After its basic framework was formed by Descartes and Locke, Berkeley, Hume, and Kant destructed it in their respective ways. Berkeley formed idealism (immaterialism), rejecting things themselves, and Hume distorted the framework by treating them from a skeptical point of view. Further, Kant treated the things themselves (Dinge an sich) as unknowable items and presented stiffened views of knowledge and human beings.
