A plea for Transcendental Philosophy

Abstract

This article makes a plea for transcendental philosophy because of the author´s conviction that a reformed and improved form of what Kant left us behind as transcendental philosophy, but which nevertheless still deserves the name of “transcendental philosophy”, provides the only possibility of solving the most urgent problem, namely the problem of how meaningful philosophy is still possible under the conditions of the presently dominant, philosophical views of radical fallibilism, radical historicism, and radical holism. It begins with a presentation the mentioned problem, and follows on with an outline of what is es the fundamental idea of Kantian transcendental philosophy. Finally Transcendental-Pragmatics is presented as a specifically improved form of transcendental philosophy.
