Kant's Theory of A Priori Knowledge

The prevailing interpretation of Kant’s First Critique in Anglo-American philosophy views his theory of a priori knowledge as basically a theory about the possibility of empirical knowledge (or experience), or the a priori conditions for that possibility (the representations of space and time and the categories). Instead, Robert Greenberg argues that Kant is more fundamentally concerned with the possibility of a priori knowledge—the very possibility of the possibility of empirical knowledge in the first place.
Greenberg advances four central theses:(1) the Critique is primarily concerned about the possibility, or relation to objects, of a priori, not empirical knowledge, and Kant’s theory of that possibility is defensible; (2) Kant’s transcendental ontology must be distinct from the conditions of the possibility of a priori knowledge; (3) the functions of judgment, in Kant’s discussion of the Table of Judgments, should be seen according to his transcendental logic as having content, not as being just logical forms of judgment making; (4) Kant’s distinction between and connection of ordering relations (Verhaltnisse) and reference relations (Beziehungen) have to be kept in mind to avoid misunderstanding the Critique. 
At every step of the way Greenberg contrasts his view with the major interpretations of Kant by commentators like Henry Allison, Jonathan Bennett, Paul Guyer, and Peter Strawson. Not only does this new approach to Kant present a strong challenge to these dominant interpretations, but by being more true to Kant’s own intent it holds promise for making better sense out of what have been seen as the First Critique’s discordant themes.

Baseball Hall of Famers

This new series brings to life the men behind the statistics, all of whom were inducted into baseball's Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, New York, who helped make major league baseball the diverse game it is today. Predating the Civil Rights Act of 1964, Willie Mays, Hank Aaron, and Roberto Clemente burst through the major league color barrier to show fans that baseball should and could be a game about talent. Record-breaking pitcher Sandy Koufax faced national scrutiny when he stood up for his right to put his Jewish traditions ahead of his baseball schedule. Nolan Ryan wowed the world with pitches that were too fast to hit, while Yogi Berra broke the mold for catching greatness and continues to charm the world with his wit and wisdom.

FROM THE OFFICE OF THE PRESIDENT Dear citizen of New Panem, For seventy five years the Hunger Games have dominated our lives and have been the source of much sorrow and fearful mystery. Until now! Since the fall of the Snow régime much has come to light including three revealing documents written by Magnus Augustus Clarr, CEO of the hunger games directorate and Avox services, a man second only to Snow himself and the heir apparent to the presidency. In these fascinating pages Clarr leaves little to the imagination and explains in graphic detail the vile inner technical workings of the various hunger games departments and the roles played by Escort, Mentor, Peacekeeper, mortuary and arena staff, bio-services, tribute handlers the media and advertisers to name a few as well as an insight into the directorates grotesque TV production values and techniques etc. Clarr also reveals the fascinating reality about the Avox and sheds light onto the fate of many of our loved ones sentenced to, “Rebirth Avox” and finally he courageously identifi es and condemns the gross injustices’ of the Snow régime. Be warned, Clarr’s work is often brutal and horrifying, but then again so were our lives! I commend it to you. Regards, Paylor, President. Republic of the United States of New Panem.
