Kant's Ideal of Systematicity in Historical Context [R&R]. Van den Berg, H. Kantian Review, 0.
abstract   bibtex   
This paper explains what systematicity is and why Kant claims that sciences must take, at least as their ideal, the form of a ‘system’. I argue that Kant’s notion of systematicity can be fruitfully understood against the background of the Classical Model of Science and the writings of Georg Friedrich Meier and Johann Heinrich Lambert. I further show that systematicity furthers several traditionally accepted logical ideals of scientific cognition, which may partly explain why Meier and Kant think that sciences must be ‘systematic’.
