Kant on regulative principles in science
This paper discusses several central features of Kant's account of how regulative principles guide scientific inquiry. Specifically, it focuses on Kant's views on what these regulative principles are, why they are justified, how they function to regulate our inquiry, and what conception of reason can support them.
