Abstract

Bu makalede öncelikle tarihsel bağlam göz önünde bulundurularak Kant’ın analitik felsefe akımı üzerindeki etkisi özellikle metafizik eleştirisi açısından ele alınmaktadır. Bu bağlamda Kant’ın metafizik anlayışı ve eleştirisi, Wittgenstein’ın Tractatus’ta konuya yaklaşımı ile Mantıksal Pozitivizmin metafizik eleştirisi karşılaştırmalı olarak değerlendirilmektedir. Kant’ın metafizik eleştirisi ile analitik felsefede ortaya çıkan metafizik karşıtlığı arasında bazı farklılıklar bulunmasına rağmen her iki yaklaşımın da metafiziğe bir sınır getirme noktasında bir takım tutarsızlıklarla karşı karşıya kaldıkları üzerinde durulmaktadır. Son olarak, günümüz analitik felsefedeki metafizik yönelimin mahiyetine dair bir değerlendirme sunulmaktadır.

Kant, Analytic Philosophy and Metaphysics

Abstract

This article firstly adresses the impact of Kant on the movement of analytic philosophy particularly with reference to the criticism of metaphysics. In this context, it provides an evaluation of Kant’s conception and criticism of metaphysics and Wittgenstein’s approach to the problem in Tractatus and the Logical Positivist criticism of metaphysics in a comparative manner. Although it is granted that there are some differences between Kant’s critique of metaphysics and the repudiation of metaphysics that emerged in analytic philosophy, it is highlighted that both approaches generate some inconsistencies in terms of setting a limit on metaphysics. Finally, an assessment of the character of the metaphysical orientation in the current analytic philosophy is presented.
