This article explains Kant’s claim that sciences must take, at least as their ideal, the form of a ‘system’. I argue that Kant’s notion of systematicity can be understood against the background of de Jong and Betti’s Classical Model of Science (2010) and the writings of Georg Friedrich Meier and Johann Heinrich Lambert. According to my interpretation, Meier, Lambert and Kant accepted an axiomatic idea of science, articulated by the Classical Model, which elucidates their conceptions of systematicity. I show that Kant’s critique of the mathematical method is compatible with his adherence to this axiomatic conception of science. I further show that systematicity advances traditionally accepted logical ideals of scientific knowledge, which explains why Meier and Kant think that sciences must be ‘systematic’.

康德历史语境中的系统性理想

这篇文章解释了康德的主张，即科学必须采取，至少作为他们的理想，一个“系统”的形式。我认为康德的系统性概念可以在德容和贝蒂的经典科学模型（2010）以及乔治·弗里德里希·迈耶和约翰·海因里希·兰伯特的著作的背景下理解。根据我的解释，迈耶、兰伯特和康德接受了由经典模型阐明的科学公理化思想，阐明了他们的系统性概念。我表明康德对数学方法的批判与他对这种公理化科学概念的坚持是相容的。我进一步表明，系统性推进了传统上公认的科学知识的逻辑理想，这解释了为什么迈尔和康德认为科学必须是“系统的”。
