    Challenges→Hegel's claim about the identity of thinking and being could be interpreted as a version of Kant's empirical realism

    For Kant, empirical realism is paired with transcendental idealism; Hegel's identity of thinking and being abolishes the transcendental remainder that makes Kantian empirical realism coherent.

    Key Terms

    Hegel(as the main philosopher referenced in this statement)
    Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel was a German philosopher (1770-1831) who argued that reality and human thought develop through a process of contradiction and resolution, constantly evolving toward greater understanding.
    Identity of thinking and being(as Hegel's alternative to Kant's view)
    Hegel's claim that thought and reality are not separate—what exists in the world is the same as what our minds think, rather than being filtered through a gap between them.
    Kant(as used in epistemology and metaphysics)
    Immanuel Kant (1724-1804) was an influential German philosopher who argued that our minds shape how we experience reality, and that we can only truly know things as they appear to us, not as they are in themselves.
    Transcendental remainder(as the problem that makes Kant's view coherent but incomplete)
    In Kant's system, the gap between how things actually are in themselves and how they appear to us through our mental filters—a 'leftover' problem that Hegel believed his philosophy could solve.

    empirical realism(Kant identifies empirical realism with his own transcendental idealism)
    The view that space, time, causation, and the other categories are real features of the empirical world of experience — Kant's term for the complement to transcendental idealism within his system.
    transcendental idealism(Kant's own label for his philosophical position)
    The position that the main forms of objects (spatiality, temporality, substantiality, causality, etc.) are imposed by the subject upon experience and therefore cannot be regarded as real forms of objects independent of our representations, while nonetheless maintaining that both selves and objects really exist independently of our representations of them.
