Salomon Maimon’s Theory of Differentials, the quid juris Question and the Possibility of Metaphysics as a Science
Abstract
This paper studies Salomon Maimon’s theory of differentials both as an answer to the quid juris question and as a key to the foundation of the possibility of metaphysics as a science. Firstly, we reconstruct the Maimonian criticism to the Kantian approach to the quid juris question. Later, we analyze Maimon’s own response to that question in order to finally establish how such answer paves the road to the explanation of the possibility of metaphysics as a science.Downloads
