عنوان مقاله [English]
Kant’s Copernicusian revolution is a well-known topic in history of
epistemology, though its implications and impacts are not well
discussed enough. No need to mention that analysis of knowledge was
Kant’s first philosophical self-commitment. Aspiring of Copernicus’s
revolution in astronomy, he changed the centrality of subject/object in
his epistemological approach and maintained that mind (cognitive
faculties) must be departure of metaphysical analysis; that was a
revolutionary idea. Doing so, he, as it is well-known, divided all
judgments from two different aspects: first, analytic/synthetic; and
second, apriori/aposteriori. He, then, argued that there are apriori
synthetic judgments – by which the possibility of knowledge is
warranted – are universal and necessary. These judgments not only
refer to external world, but also belong equally to physics,
mathematics, and metaphysics. He believed that his doctrine could
(dis)solve the old long-standing epistemological problem in modern
philosophy such as the debates on source of knowledge
(reason/experience), dogmatism/skepticism, etc., among rationalists
and empiricists. Although his ideas, specially stressing on apriori
concepts as a key, help him to (dis)solve some epistemological puzzles,
either reveal a few new problems in newly changed epistemological
scope.
