Internal Negation and the Universe of Discourse: Kant and Boole

Original language description

I will focus on so-called internal negation and its philosophical consequences, namely in Kant and Boole. Firstly, the difference between internal and external negation is presented and it is shown that internal negation can be derived from external negation with the help of the so-called Principle of Complete Determination. Kant claims that this principle is synthetic and that it represents objects as deriving their possibility from the whole of possibility. It will also be argued that Boole’s neologism universe of discourse can be seen as the de-epistemological adaptation of Kant’s whole of possibility. As a result, internal negation can be seen as equivalent with external negation.
