A new breakthrough with triple misunderstandings:On Li Yang's new understanding of Kant's distinction between logical and real predicates
Kant made a distinction between the logical predicate and the real predicate when refuting ontological proof,and put forward the issue"Sein is not a real predicate".The popular interpretation mode does not realize that this distinction is essentially a distinction between"modal logic predicates"and"transcendental real predicates",hence simply misinterpreting it as that the predicate of analytic proposition is not the predicate of synthetic proposition,and misinterpreting"Sein proposition"as either"Sein is not real existence"or"the predicate of subjective synthetic proposition is not the predicate of objective synthetic proposition".In the article"On Kant's Distinction between Logical Predicates and Real Predicates",Li Yang proposed that"logical predicates are predicates in the formal sense,that is,concepts that occupy the position of predicates in a judgment","real predicates are predicates that can act as objective synthetic judgments"and refer to the reality of things.More importantly in particular,he believed that Kant's distinction between logical predicates and real predicates directly points to the confusion of existence and reality in ontological proof,and that the key to Kant's refutation is to distinguish between the modal concept of existence and the real predicate as reality,which is an important breakthrough in the popular mode of interpretation and involves the mode of distinction between"modal logical predicates"and"transcendental real predicates".However,whether it is about the logical predicate,or about the real predicate,or about the relationship between them,Li Yang misunderstood them all,and his misunderstandings have led to the fact that his understanding of the distinction between the logical predicate and the real predicate has always been influenced by the popular interpretation mode.He discussed the relationship between logical predicates and real predicates in the proposition of"S ist P",which is still a deviation from the distinguishing mode between"modal logical predicate"and"transcendental real predicate".He considered the predicate P which expresses the nature of things according to the position of the predicate as a logical predicate,and this would blur the difference of the modal concept between the logical predicate and the real predicate.
