This paper analyses Quentin Meillassoux’s criticism of Kantian philosophy. The objective of the paper is to delineate the connection Meillassoux asserts between the problem of induction and Kant’s account of finitude. After examining Meillassoux’s elucidations on the connection between the two, I argue that Meillassoux’s characterization of Kantian philosophy as ‘weak correlationism’ is not only inaccurate but also undermines the novelty of Kantian philosophy, especially Kant’s (critical) response to the problem of induction. The paper concludes with the claim that Meillassoux’s criticism of modern philosophy, especially Kantian critical philosophy, does not convince us to abandon the problem of finitude but points to the need for a more accurate understanding of finitude.

康德漫步梅亚苏:有限性和相关性

本文分析了昆汀·梅拉苏对康德哲学的批判。这篇论文的目的是描述 Meil​​lassoux 所断言的归纳问题与康德对有限性的解释之间的联系。在考察了梅拉苏对两者之间联系的阐明之后,我认为梅拉苏将康德哲学描述为“弱关联主义”不仅不准确,而且破坏了康德哲学的新颖性,尤其是康德对归纳问题的(批判的)回应。该论文的结论是,梅亚苏对现代哲学,尤其是康德批判哲学的批评并没有说服我们放弃有限性问题,而是指出需要更准确地理解有限性。
