WHAT OTHERS HAVE
SAID
Dermot Moran
"Kant distinguishes between empirical and transcendental
idealism. Empirical idealism is the doctrine which
"denies the existence of external objects of the senses"
(A368), and transcendental idealism holds that all
appearances are representations and not things in
themselves. Transcendental idealism is an
empirical realism (A371). Empirical idealists on
the other hand are transcendental realists who interpret
appearances as things in themselves (A369, A372).
Dogmatic idealism is the rejection of matter (A377) and
is applied to Berkeley at B274 (as opposed to
Descartes's 'problematic idealism').
Transcendental realism treats space and time as things
in themselves and inevitably leads to Berkeley's
idealism." (Idealism in Medieval Theology, p. 57)
