Robert Michael Guerin, Student Dr. Daniel Breazeale, Major Professor Dr. David Bradshaw, Director of Graduate Studies IMAGINATION BOUND: A THEORETICAL IMPERATIVE DISSERTATION A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the College of Arts and Sciences at the University of Kentucky By Robert M. Guerin Lexington, Kentucky Director: Dr. Daniel Breazeale, Professor of Philosophy Lexington, Kentucky 2016 Copyright © Robert M. Guerin 2016 ABSTRACT OF DISSERTATION IMAGINATION BOUND: A THEORETICAL IMPERATIVE Kant’s theory of productive imagination falls at the center of the critical project. This is evident in the 1781 Critique of Pure Reason, where Kant claims that the productive imagination is a “fundamental faculty of the human soul” and indispensable for the construction of experience. And yet, in the second edition of 1787 Kant seemingly demotes this imagination as a mere “effect of the understanding on sensibility” and all but withdraws its place from the Transcendental Deduction. In his 1929 Kant and the Problem of Metaphysics, Martin Heidegger provided an explanation for the revisions between 1781 and 1787. Heidegger suggested that the Critique was supposed to be a foundation for Kant’s metaphysics of morals, which holds that practical reason is freely bound by a categorical imperative. Yet after 1781 Kant recognized that the Critique implicates the productive imagination as the “unknown root” of the faculties of understanding and sensibility. If the 1781 Critique reveals this imagination to be the source of theoretical rules and practical imperatives, then, according to Heidegger, Kant could not but “shrink back” from this shocking discovery. A faculty so intimately tied to sensibility, and hence contingency and particularity, is a poor progenitor of freedom and universal rules. I think there is some truth to Heidegger’s explanation. But I also think there is something more important to draw from the revisions between 1781 and 1787. In this dissertation, I assume that something about the productive imagination did frighten Kant. But, pace Heidegger, I do not think that Kant shrank back from his initial position. Rather, I argue that the revisions clarify a theory that was implicit in 1781 but made explicit by 1787. If the imagination is a power for representation, which is at times a dream and at times a veridical experience, then the difference lies in the rule according to which the construction of the representation is bound. Furthermore, I argue that Kant’s revisions reveal a duty to bind the reproductive imagination according to a common concept, what Kant sometimes refers to as common sense. This is what I call the theoretical imperative. Robert Michael Guerin Student’s Signature 20 January 2016 Date IMAGINATION BOUND: A THEORETICAL IMPERATIVE By Robert M.

  • 128 Dale E. Miller the Great Virtue of This Book Is That It Takes Seriously Mill's Utilitarianism. Too Many Accounts of Mill B
    128 book reviews Dale E. Miller J.S. Mill: Moral, Social and Political Thought, (Cambridge and Malden, MA: Polity), 252 pp. ISBN: 978-0-07456-2583-6 (hbk); 978-0-7456-2584-3 (pbk). Hardback/ Paperback: £ 55.00/15.99. The great virtue of this book is that it takes seriously Mill’s utilitarianism. Too many accounts of Mill’s thought have attempted to reinterpret Mill as anything but a utilitarian. This fashion was perhaps established by Isaiah Berlin’s account of Mill in ‘John Stuart Mill and the Ends of Life’, where Mill’s commit- ment to individual liberty is seen in terms of a retreat from the utilitarianism of Bentham and his father James Mill. Many studies of Mill take the view that, while his liberalism is to be applauded, his utilitarianism is to be regretted, and is, therefore, best written out of the account as something of an embarrass- ment. All this, presumably, is a result of the current obsession with intuition- ism and so-called deontological ethics (I say so-called since it was Bentham who invented the term ‘deontology’). Miller emphasizes the fact that Mill was never anything but a utilitarian throughout his career. He might have added that liberalism itself is a product of utilitarianism, and that this is something that contemporary liberals would do well to remember. Miller presents a philosophical reconstruction of Mill’s thought. He occa- sionally gives some historical context, for instance where Mill’s views might otherwise appear puzzling to the contemporary reader, but his main focus is on providing the best systematic account of Mill’s corpus, and on showing how it remains relevant to today’s debates and concerns, both theoretical and prac- tical.

  • Hume's Central Principles
    Hume’s Central Principles 2. Overview, Hume’s Theory of Ideas, and his Faculty Psychology Peter Millican Hertford College, Oxford An Integrated Vision ! We have seen how Hume’s investigation of the notion of causation brought together his interest in the Cosmological Argument for God’s existence, free will and the Problem of Evil, his opposition to aprioristic metaphysics (e.g. concerning mind and matter), and his view of human beings as part of the natural world, amenable to empirical investigation. ! Although there is historical evidence of his early interest in these things, they come together most clearly not in the Treatise itself (January 1739), but in the Abstract (autumn 1739) and the Enquiry concerning Human Understanding (1748) … 2 The Topics of the Abstract Introduction Associationism Probability Liberty and Necessity Copy Principle Sceptical Résumé Induction Idea of Necessity Belief Probability Personal Identity Passions 3 Geometry Overview (1) ! Starts from a theory of mental contents: impressions (sensations or feelings) and ideas (thoughts). ! Empiricist: all ideas are derived from impressions (and hence from experience) – Hume’s Copy Principle. ! Assumes a theory of faculties (reason, the senses, imagination etc.), in terms of which he expresses many of his main results. 4 Overview (2) ! Aims to deny that we have rational insight into things (and also – in his moral theory - that we are governed by reason). ! Relations of ideas / matters of fact –"roughly analytic / synthetic (but in the Treatise based on a theory of different kinds of relation) ! Demonstrative / probable reasoning –"roughly deductive / inductive 5 Overview (3) ! Induction presupposes an assumption of uniformity over time, which cannot be founded on any form of rational evidence.

    Dedication: 3/15/05 I dedicate this collection to my friends Orville and Evelyn Brynelson and my parents George and Marion Greenwald. I especially thank James Steckel, Barbara Zbikowski, Gustavo Betancourt, and Joshua Ellis, colleagues and computer experts extraordinaire, for their invaluable assistance. Kathy Hart, MUHS librarian, was most helpful in suggesting sources. I further thank Gaylan DuBose, Ed Long, Hugh Himwich, Susan Schearer, Gardy Warren, and Kaye Warren for their encouragement and advice. My former students and now Classics professors Daniel Curley and Anthony Hollingsworth also deserve mention for their advice, assistance, and friendship. My student Michael Kocorowski encouraged and provoked me into beginning this dictionary. Certamen players Michael Fleisch, James Ruel, Jeff Tudor, and Ryan Thom were inspirations. Sue Smith provided advice. James Radtke, James Beaudoin, Richard Hallberg, Sylvester Kreilein, and James Wilkinson assisted with words from modern foreign languages. Without the advice of these and many others this dictionary could not have been compiled. Lastly I thank all my colleagues and students at Marquette University High School who have made my teaching career a joy.

(December 2006) Phillip Wesley Gray, B.A., University of Dayton Chair of Advisory Committee: Dr. Cary J. Nederman The just war tradition as we know it has its origins with Christian theology. In this dissertation, I examine the theological, in particular ontological, presuppositions of St. Augustine of Hippo in his elucidation of just war. By doing so, I show how certain metaphysical ideas of St. Augustine (especially those on existence, love, and the sovereignty of God) shaped the just war tradition. Following this, I examine the slow evacuation of his metaphysics from the just war tradition.

  • © 2015 Thomas Steven Highstead Immanuel Kant's Response to David Hume Regarding Cause and Effect by Thomas Steven Highstead A
    Immanuel Kant’s Response to David Hume regarding Cause and Effect By Thomas Steven Highstead A thesis submitted to the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Affairs in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of: Master of Arts In Philosophy Carleton University Ottawa, Ontario © 2015 Thomas Steven Highstead ii Abstract When David Hume could not experience the impression of a necessary connection in the constant conjunction of two events, he reasoned that the necessity inherent in such a relation was the result of a feeling or desire; a determination of the mind to connect one event to another. Immanuel Kant, on the other hand, argued that the idea of cause was an innate structure of thought that provided the objective validity to a causal relationship. I argue that Kant’s combination of sensible intuition and the faculty of thought provides a more comprehensive and objective explanation of how we understand the necessary connection between a cause and its effect. iii Acknowledgement There are two special people in my life for whom I owe a deep debt of gratitude for making this thesis possible. The first is my wife, Sheryll, whose encouragement and patience throughout this long process was steadfast. Besides being my life partner, she deigned to scrutinize my grammar, in an attempt to make my abstruse prose more accessible. The second person I wish to thank is my Supervisor, Dr. Melissa Frankel, whose patience, guidance, mentoring, and deep knowledge pushed me to produce a paper that is considerably better than if I was left to my own devices.
