The Classical Model of Science in Eighteenth-Century German Philosophy [Ongoing]. Van den Berg, H. 0.
abstract   bibtex   
In this paper I describe different varieties of the Classical Model of Science in the works of Christian Wolff (1679-1754), Georg Friedrich Meier (1718-1777), Johann Heinrich Lambert (1728-1777), and Immanuel Kant (1724-1804). I argue that all four authors accept the the core of the ideal of science codified by the Classical Model of Science. This accounts for a certain amount of continuity between the views of Wolff, Meier, Lambert, and Kant on science. However, the four authors sometimes interpret the conditions of the Classical Model of Science differently. This accounts for a certain amount of discontinuity between the conceptions of the authors. This paper provides the first comprehensive analysis and comparison of the views of Wolff, Meier, Lambert, and Kant on science with reference to all of the conditions of the Classical Model of Science. Through my analysis, it becomes clear that there is a greater amount of continuity between the views of Wolff, Meier, Lambert, and Kant than is sometimes assumed.
