Elementos kantianos na filosofia da matemática de Ernst Cassirer

Lucas Alessandro Duarte Amaral

Resumo

A tarefa deste artigo é explicitar algumas influências kantianas na filosofia da matemática do neokantiano da escola de Marburgo, Ernst Cassirer. Conforme argumentamos, em sua primeira obra sistemática, Conceito de Substância Conceito de Função: uma investigação sobre as questões fundamentais da Crítica do Conhecimento (1910), certos pressupostos da filosofia transcendental de Kant (tais quais, e.g., seu compromisso anti-metafísico manifesto e sua ideia de “lógica transcendental”) desempenharam papéis importantes na filosofia da matemática de Cassirer, servindo enquanto conceitos complementares ao logicismo-estrutural defendido pelo neokantiano.

Palavras-chave
