The Paradox of the Determination of Bound

Abstract:
Based on the description of the real structure of our conception of the world, P. F.Strawson’s descriptive metaphysics, similar to Kant’s empirical Realism, deals withdetermining the limitations of empirical knowledge of the world. In this case, Kant’stranscendental Idealism seems to be an incoherent doctrine which can yield askepticism which the critical philosophy seeks to solve. Strawson rejects Kant’sTranscendental Idealism in that it considers two limits, which leads to the paradox ofdelimitation. Yet, the question is: Can Strawson’s descriptive metaphysics depict thelimitations of our knowledge without considering both limits? It seems that he hasadopted a language that chains us to some metaphysical constraint, which is opposedto the sketch of the descriptive metaphysics. Thus, he is engaged in the sameparadox which he discovered in Kant. It seems that thinking on the limit isessentially paradoxical; so skepticism can not be solved by appealing to it.
