This essay proposes an account of Kantian constructivism as an epistemological endeavour, which exemplifies how continental and analytic traditions are intertwined. Kantian constructivism exploits the philosophical resources of analytical argumentation to address a set of issues that originated in continental philosophy, but it also profoundly alters the trend of analytic ethics by critiquing two dogmas of empiricism, such as the empiricist conception of experience and the instrumentalist account of reasoning. Kantian constructivism is designed to address these problems. The key point in this plan is the retrieval of moral psychology toward a practical conception of reason.Downloads
