>A public lecture presented by the Department of Philosophy:

>Wayne Waxman (University of Colorado at Boulder)
>
>"Kant's Refutation of Berkeleyan Idealism"
>
>Kant contrasted his position with Berkeley's as empirical realism to
>empirical idealism.  Yet, many critics then, and since, have been unable
>to discover any essential difference between Berkeley's idealism and
>Kant's "transcendental" variety, especially since both philosophers
>agreed in denying mind-independent reality to material things, as well
>as to space and time. Yet, although Kant was vehement in his rejection
>of this criticism, he never developed a worked-out refutation of
>Berkeleyan idealism comparable to the refutation of Cartesian idealism
>he added to the Second Postulate of Empirical Thought in the 1787
>edition of the Critique of Pure Reason.  In the paper Waxman will be
>reading, he attempts to extract such a refutation from Kant's critical
>period writings.
