Abstract

Kant's concept of cognition (Erkenntnis) has often been understood in terms of propositional knowledge. However, Kant's primary concern is not epistemological in the sense we understand it today, but rather about possible objects of cognition and their necessary structure. This chapter aims to unfold the ontological implications of Kant's concept of cognition.
