Stapleford, Scott 2010 Idealistic Studies , Vol. 40 , Issue 1 , S. 139 ff. ( Zeitschrift ) Englisch 0046-8541 | 2153-8239 10.5840/idstudies2010401/29 AbstractThe paper identifies a possible precedent for Kant’s Refutation of Idealism in the work of Johann Nicolaus Tetens. An attempt is made to reconstruct the reasoning that led Tetens to reject idealism as a false starting point, and some parallels are drawn between Tetens’s psychologistic approach to the problem andKant’s transcendental methodology.
