The Transcendental Logic of Emil Lask between Plato and Kant. Theory of the Two Worlds and the Copernican Revolution
Abstract
In this paper we present the transcendental philosophy of Emil Lask as the result of a mediation between Plato’s theory of the two worlds and Kant’s Copernican revolution. Taking advantage of Lotze’s discovery according to which meanings are not, but “are valid”, and expanding the horizon of logic beyond the realm of judgment, Lask elaborates a transcendental Aristotelianism that mixes Kantian transcendentalism with the objectivism of ancient philosophy. The result is a transcendentalism of the logos that encompasses all areas of meaning, both judicative and pre-judicative.
