Schulze's Conception of Immediate Cognition and Hegel's Critique

Publication at Faculty of Humanities |
2016

Abstract

The chapter deals with the conception of perception worked out by G.E. Schulze.

His conception is radically opposed to the traditional representationalism by taking perception as an immediate relation to the external things - as such this relation is without any need for mediation by a representation. In my exposition of Schulze's view I offer a parallel confrontation of this view with a critique addressed to Schulze by Hegel and examine in what measure are Schulze's replies to Hegel's critique satisfying.
