Summary

 

Kant, Schelling, Schopenhauer: Essays on Clairvoyance

Translated from the German by Marijan Cipra

Kant begins his work The Dreams of the Seers Interpreted by the Dreams of Metaphysics with the question: what is spirit anyway? After being touched by the phenomenon of clairvoyance of the Swedish scientist Svedenborg, Kant embarks on a discussion about whether clairvoyance as such is even possible. It presupposes a non-mediated contact of immaterial substances, that is, the soul is separated from the materiality of the body. Pure spirits are such a substance separated from the body and they can enter into direct communication. Kant is skeptical about such purely spiritual communication and is inclined to believe that he who has too much understanding for the purely spiritual world has too little sense for this physical world of ours. Although this writing was written in the pre-critical phase of Kant's philosophizing, Kant's cautious skepticism about the possibility of knowing the ultimate things of the soul, the world and God is already noticeable there. In the paralogisms of the pure mind, Kant will dispute the existence of the soul as a purely material substance and thereby question any possibility of the soul's direct contact with the purely spiritual world. But in Dreams of a Seer, Kant is not yet at the level of knowledge that the Critique of Pure Mind will bring. He admits that he is very inclined to believe in the existence of immaterial substances, but that existence is not accessible to rational knowledge. One of these immaterial substances is the human soul.
