Post-Darwinian Kantians and Post-Kantian Darwinians: Epistemology, Metaphysics, and Science

In this article, I argue that Kant's work influenced the epistemology and science of the 19th and 20th centuries. This influence can be understood in both positive and negative ways. To address this, I consider two paradigmatic cases. The first is Thomas Kuhn, who defined himself as a «post-Dar...

Esta influencia puede entenderse de manera tanto positiva como negativa. Para abordar esto, tomo dos casos paradigmáticos. El primero es el caso de Thomas Kuhn, quien se autodefinió como un «kantiano post-darwiniano» en su texto The Road since Structure. De Kuhn interesa plantearse la pregunta sobre el sentido de esta afirmación. El segundo caso es Ernst Haeckel, quien parte de la crítica a la filosofía dualista de Kant. La influencia aquí es negativa si se considera su propuesta monista.  Universidad de Costa Rica2025-05-31info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionartículo originalhttp://purl.org/coar/resource_type/c_2df8fbb1info:eu-repo/semantics/articleapplication/pdftext/htmlhttps://revistas.ucr.ac.cr/index.php/filosofia/article/view/6501110.15517/revfil.2025.65011Revista de Filosofía de la Universidad de Costa Rica; Vol. 64 No. 169 (2025): Revista de filosofíaRevista de Filosofía de la Universidad de Costa Rica; Vol. 64 Núm. 169 (2025): Revista de filosofía2215-55890034-825210.15517/revfil.2025reponame:Portal de Revistas UCRinstname:Universidad de Costa Ricainstacron:UCRspahttps://revistas.ucr.ac.cr/index.php/filosofia/article/view/65011/64286https://revistas.ucr.ac.cr/index.php/filosofia/article/view/65011/64287Derechos de autor 2025 Revista de Filosofía de la Universidad de Costa Ricahttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/cr/acceso abiertohttp://purl.org/coar/access_right/c_abf2info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess2025-05-27T20:03:48Zoai:portal.ucr.ac.cr:article/65011Portal de revistashttps://revistas.ucr.ac.cr/Universidadhttp://www.ucr.ac.crhttps://revistas.ucr.ac.cr/index.php/index/oaijorge.polanco@ucr.ac.crCosta RicaNo aplicaNo aplicaNo aplicaopendoar:2025-08-13T10:50:00.322Portal de Revistas UCR - Universidad de Costa Ricafalse
