Ontology, Relation, and Analogy: Gottfried Martin and Kant’s Metaphysics

Summary/Abstract: This paper examines Gottfried Martin’s interpretation of Kantian philosophy as a novel understanding of the theory of being. Arguing for both the continuity with the traditional ontology and an undeniable shift introduced by the critical endorsement of the Newtonian theory of science, Martin advances a subtle distinction between the different meanings of „being” in Kant. I argue that Martin’s main source of inspiration is N. Hartmann’s ontological perspective, which allows him to differentiate among several types of being thanks to a novel reading of the concept of objective reality and to the positive definition of the thing in itself. Influential and central for the reception of Kantian philosophy, Martin’s reading proves to be an original and consistent example within the metaphysical interpretation of critical philosophy which, starting 1924, has definitively changed our understanding of Kant’s thought.
