为何梦醒——论休谟对康德的提示

Why Awoken from Slumber——On Hume's Suggestion to Kant

传统观点把休谟对康德的提示定位为“因果公理的处理”是不正确,因为这种定位与康德直接读到《人性论》这一史实不符,而且也无法解释康德从教条主义的迷梦中醒来的真正原因。正是《人性论》第1卷第四章中的心理原子主义和同一性理论所造成的怀疑结论使康德认识休谟的经验论和莱布尼茨哲学的相似理论基础和后果,从而最终使康德清醒过来。

It is inadequate that the accepted view regards that Kant is awoken by Hume's Principle of Causality. This cannot match the facts that Kant reads Treatise, but also cannot interpret why Kant is awoken from dogmatic slumber. It is just the BookI.CharpterIV of Treatise that lead Kant to recognize that Hume's skeptical conclusions are similar to Leibniz's Monadlogy by which Kant is awoken.
