===[[File:Kant.png]] {{PHB|Kantianism}}===
Kant's Epistemology and Metaphysics are infamously complex, so this will be a brief overview. Kant made the claim that there are three main categories through which we experience the world, Intuition, Understanding, and Reason. Intuition is sensory impressions that are given to us by objects outside our understanding. Reason is what allows us to make logical destination's based of these sensory impressions. Understanding is the facility that allows us to comprehend things without having to infer them from intuition.
 
Line 429 ⟶ 376:
Kant argued that in order to maintain human freedom, we must all seek a society in which it is possible to live free and rational lives. He called this state a ''Rechtsstaat,'' or a Republic governed by law. The sole purpose of this state was to maximize the possibility of human autonomy.
 
*===[[File:Descartes.png]] {{PHB|Cartesianism}}===
==== Mathematics ====
According to Kant, mathematics possesses objective validity because it expresses the necessary conditions of possible experience. Arithmetic, as an example, is grounded in the necessary conditions of possible experience and provides a priori cognition of objects with regard to their form. Kant believes that mathematics is a suitable tool for describing nature, but it encounters certain philosophical challenges. One such challenge arises from the notion that if something is composite, there must also exist something simple. This contradicts the concept of infinite divisibility of space, as it suggests that there are indivisible elements (atoms or monads) that constitute the universe. Kant addresses this issue by proposing that appearances are not things in themselves and that philosophical reasoning based solely on concepts would not be valid for appearances.
 
Another issue Kant discusses is the question of infinitely small magnitudes in mathematics. While some philosophers argue for the existence of atoms or monads, Kant separates the concepts of infinite divisibility and infinitely small magnitudes. He considers infinitely small magnitudes as necessary ideas to express changes caused by fundamental forces and the construction of intuition. Regarding the method of mathematics, Kant argues that it differs from the method of philosophy. Mathematics is capable of producing definitions in a strict sense and is considered a paradigm of synthetic cognition a priori. It uses concepts in concreto, starting with definitions and containing few unprovable propositions. Philosophy, on the other hand, analyzes data and deals with concepts in abstracto.
 
Kant illustrates the distinction between mathematics and philosophy through the discussion of the definition of a circle. The standard definition, which states that a circle is a figure with each point equidistant from a given center, does not prove its possibility. Kant proposes a genetic definition that demonstrates the constructability of a circle. According to Kant, mastering a mathematical concept means understanding the rule of construction of the object of the concept.
 
===[[File:Descartes.png]] {{PHB|Cartesianism}}===
==== Epistemology and Metaphysics ====
Descartes thinks that at least once in our lives, we must doubt nearly everything we know, in order to arrive at certain knowledge. He thinks that we can doubt Nearly everything, our scenes, the existence of God, even the truth of mathematics. However, the one thing we can not doubt is that we are thinking thing that exists, or that "I think therefor I am."
Line 452 ⟶ 392:
Descartes didn't speak often on ethics or political philosophy. In terms of ethics, this was because he wanted to have a more cretin foundation in Metaphysics before he really got started building an ethical system. He refrained from speaking on politics becuse he thought such things should be mostly dealt with by Kings and those who they appointed as magistrates.
 
None the less, he did have some ideas in these two subjects, tending towards a version [[File:Virtue ethics icon.png]] [[Virtue Ethics]] based on [[File:RomStoStoic.png]] [[Roman Stoicism|Stoicism]] as well as viewing [[File:Monarch.png]] {{FPCB|Monarchism}} as the natural order of things.
 
 
===[[File:Diderot.png]] {{PHB|Encyclopédisme|Diderotianism}}===
'''Diderotianism''' is a set of theories developed by the French philosopher and writer of the [[file:Enlightenment.png]] [[Enlightenment Philosophy|Enlightenment]] era Denis Diderot. He is best known for being a co-founder of the first encyclopedia along with [[file:Alembert.png]] [[Encyclopédisme|Jean-Baptiste le Rond d'Alembert]]
Like his other contemporaries, Diderot promoted [[file:Antthe.png]] [[Antitheism|antitheism]] and [[File:Materialism.png]] [[Materialism|materialism]].
He also developed proto-evolutionary ideas and it could be said he was the predecessor of [[file:Darwin.png]] [[Darwinism|Darwin]].
 
===[[File:Hegel.png]] {{PHB|Hegelianism}}===
==== Metaphysics ====
Hegel claimed that everything that exists is in the process of becoming something else. He believed history itself was in the process of change, through a dialectical process of opposing ideas, through which would emerge the new synthesis of a single idea, making the old binary distinction irreverent. He thought this process would continue until finally, we arrive at the point when all subjects would realize that only one thing exists, the mind itself.
