Abstract
En un libro de lógica de 1794, Salomon Maimon presentó una nueva tabla de categorías que debía sustituir la que Kant incluyó en su Crítica de la razón pura. Sostengo que esto es la última fase en la evolución de algunos aspectos fundamentales de su postura epistemológica. A partir de una comprensión general de su teoría, voy trazando el desarrollo de su pensamiento sobre las categorías desde su primera obra en alemán, la Filosofía trascendental de 1789, hasta su mencionada Lógica. Lo divido en cuatro partes. En las dos primeras, describo la posición de Maimon como solidaria con el paradigma kantiano según el cual las categorías dependen de las formas lógicas del juicio. En la tercera, explico la inversión de este paradigma que Maimon acomete en su comentario a las Categorías de Aristóteles. En la última parte, expongo que la nueva tabla de categorías refleja una mejora general de su teoría del conocimiento. Por último, exhorto a ampliar la comprensión de alguna noción clave de su filosofía para propiciar una lectura más productiva.
In a 1794 book on logic, Salomon Maimon presented a new table of categories that was meant to replace Kant's as discussed in his Critique of Pure Reason. I see it as the last stage of an evolution of Maimon's view on the subject. In light of a general understanding of Maimon's epistemological stance, I trace this particular development of his thought from his earliest German work, the Transcendental Philosophy (1789), to his aforementioned Logic and divide it into four sections. In the first two, I portray Maimon's position as conforming to the Kantian paradigm according to which the categories depend on the logical forms of judgment. In the third one, I explain Maimon's inversion of such paradigm in his commentary to Aristotle's Categories. In the last section, I find Maimon's last version of the table of categories to be an expression of the overall improvement of his theory of knowledge. Finally, I argue for a broader understanding of several key notions of his philosophical system which, in my opinion, could be of assistance in the task of fruitfully interpreting his work.
