The article is an attempt to specifically résumé Schopenhauer's essay which was entitled "Criticism of the Kantian Philosophy." It is not intended to be an article about such criticism by other philosophers or writers in general. That is the reason that Schopenhauer's name is parenthesized after the title of the essay.

[edit] Destructive or Constructive?
The list of Kant's merits is short, as compared with the list of defects. However, Schopenhauer believed that the merits were extremely valuable. The defects were important, but did not cancel the value of the merits.
[edit] Influence
Wittgenstein and Tolstoy learned their Kant by reading Schopenhauer's criticism.
[edit] Judgment
When Kant positioned the faculty or power of judgment between understanding and reason (Critique of Judgment), it recalled his positioning of schemata between time and understanding (Critique of Pure Reason).
[edit] Separate Provinces of Nature
Schopenhauer's position about the total separateness of the different provinces of nature does not seem to be in accord with modern science. Contemporary scientists seek to unify the separate branches of science.
[edit] Subject/Object
It almost seems that Kant's overriding interest was with showing that subjective knowledge cannot be assumed to be objective knowledge.
[edit] category
I've removed the top-level category here, and replaced it with category:Philosophical arguments. Someone with more experience in this area might wish to consider what other cats the article should involve. Banno 03:19, 13 July 2006 (UTC)
