ABSTRACT

In this paper, I examine the way Kant analyzes and resolves the conflicts between the metaphysical claims concerning the cosmological ideas of pure reason. Kant presents two methods to resolve the conflicts which arise between metaphysical claims concerning the absolute entirety of phenomena as follows. First, according to the prescription called ‘the principle of experience’, the objects of speculative debate should be limited to those which can be given in experience. Second, Kant resolves the metaphysical conflicts which arise from the different requests made by understanding and reason respectively by distinguishing different realms to which the claims of the two distinct faculties can be legitimately applied. I argue that Kant’s transcendental idealism can be a practical guideline for conflict resolution by critically examining the objections that Paul Guyer raises against Kant’s view of antinomies, The way that Kant suggests to resolve the conflict between the higher faculties and the lower faculty in the Conflict of the Faculties can be understood as one of the specific cases of conflict resolution to which the principle of experience and the principle of the distinction between different realms are applied.
