    An object of cognition must exhibit the conceptual characteristics of universality and singularity in order to be an epistemic object.

    Reasons For

    1 perspective
    Reason for
    ?
    • 1.The subject provides the conceptual characteristics of universality (Allgemeinheit) and singularity (Einzelnheit).
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.For an object to be knowable, it must exhibit the conceptual features that the subject is equipped to determine.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    Reasons Against

    2 perspectives
    Reason against 1 of 2
    ?
    • 1.McDowell's reading of Sellars shows that non-conceptual perceptual states can stand in rational relations to beliefs, granting them epistemic standing prior to full conceptualization.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.If the given of sensory experience constrains conceptual judgment from outside the conceptual order, then an object can be epistemically operative before exhibiting universality and singularity.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 3.This directly undermines P2 by showing knowability does not require that objects already conform to the subject's conceptual equipment.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    Reason against 2 of 2
    ?
    • 1.Quine's naturalized epistemology demonstrates that knowledge can be grounded in causal-physical relations without requiring conceptual universality imposed by subjects.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.If stimulus-response patterns in organisms constitute proto-knowledge without Kantian categories, then universality and singularity are not necessary conditions for epistemic objects.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    With the concept of knowledge settled, Hegel chooses as the point of departure for his analysis a configuration of this knowledge relation between subject and object that proceeds on the assumption that the relata of this relation, i.e., the subject and the object stand in complete opposition to each other, each of them being self-standing and a pure another to each other. This configuration is what Hegel calls “sense certainty”, a configuration in which the knowledge relation is supposed to obt
