    Reasons For

    Reason for
    ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    Reasons Against

    Reason against
    ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.Cassirer's symbolic forms doctrine treats all object-constitution as mediated through subject's representational systems, not independent reality.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 3.Neo-Kantian constitutivism requires that principles generating objectivity originate in consciousness, excluding realist ontological ground.
