    Reasons For

    2 perspectives
    Reason for 1 of 2
    ?
    • 1.Kant's transcendental idealism posits the thing-in-itself as unknowable, creating an unbridgeable gap between appearance and ultimate reality.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.Any theory of being that permanently excludes a domain of reality from rational inquiry cannot constitute a complete ontology.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 3.Royce's absolute idealism, following Hegel's critique, dissolves this gap by grounding being in a self-knowing totality, completing what Kant left fragmented.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    Reason for 2 of 2
    ?
    • 1.Kantian categories unify experience formally but provide no account of why any particular individual exists rather than another possible one.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.A complete theory of being must explain not only the structure of possible experience but the modal fact of actual existence over mere possibility.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 3.Leibniz's question 'why is there something rather than nothing' exposes that formal conditions of experience cannot exhaust the full account of being.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    Reasons Against

      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.Critical rationalism cannot account for the concrete, actual individual facts that impose themselves in experience.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 3.Those concrete individual facts are left merely 'given' and unexplained within the critical rationalist theory.
      ?

    One objection to the argument from error is that another type of objective reality, some other sort of being external to one’s finite mind, might explain the possibility of error just as well. Royce took up this objection in the first volume of The World and the Individual, which was subtitled “The Four Historical Conceptions of Being.” In this extended argument Royce critiqued what he regarded as the main competing conceptions of objective reality so as to strengthen his case for idealism.
