Question

With God’s help,
I recently read Two Carts and a Hot-Air Balloon (an excellent book, and in my opinion one of the most impressive works of philosophy I’ve read in Hebrew), especially the criticism the Rabbi directs there at Kant. Also, not long ago I happened to read Bergmann’s History of Modern Philosophy, where he presents Solomon Maimon’s arguments against Kant, and they resemble the Rabbi’s arguments as well, even if not completely. For example, the fact that the thing-in-itself affects phenomena, which seemingly requires causality not only within the phenomenal realm; and also that the categories of the intellect, such as space, time, and causality, and the claim that nothing can be grasped except within their limits, are derived entirely inductively—for who can guarantee that I will not be able to grasp objects outside the framework of space and time, or that I will not succeed in thinking in non-causal terms. True, Maimon arrives at a Berkeley-style idealism as a result of these objections, but I would be interested to know whether the Rabbi was in fact influenced by Maimon in his criticism of Kant, or at least whether he read him.
Thank you very much, and more power to you for the time the Rabbi devotes to questions!
