Outline of Final Research Achievements

The “Transcendental Argument” stems from Immanuel Kant’s Critique of Pure Reason and has been vigorously discussed since the 1960s as a promising candidate for the modern development of Kantian philosophy. This topic has been dealt with in different philosophical backgrounds in the Anglophone and the German philosophical tradition. In our research, Chiba and Matsumoto pursued the Anglophone and the German research tradition respectively, and through a comprehensive examination, we tried to clarify the nature and the characteristics of Transcendental Arguments as well as to develop their potentials in the current philosophical background.
