康德“先天的”和“先天知识”的含义

国际学界对康德“先天的”和“先天知识”的标准解释表明，“先天的”不是指人类天赋的知识或固定不变的结构，而是指理性天赋的、永恒不变的原则和规则。这一解释与康德本人的思想基本一致。邓晓芒先生将“先天的”解释为人类先天的固定不变的结构是不对的。因为在康德那里，知识的结构是按照先天原则和规则在时间中构造的结果。

On the Meanings of Kant's Concepts of the A Priori and the A Priori Knowledge

According to the standard interpretation by international scholars,the meaning of a priori does not refer to the innate knowledge or changeless structure,but to the principles and laws of human sense,which are inborn and permanent.This interpretation is in accordance with Kant’s own thoughts.The interpretation that the concept of the a priori is the innate and changeless structure of human beings,put forward by Professor Deng Xiaomang,is incorrect.According to Kant,the structure of knowledge is constructed by a priori principles and laws in the sphere of time.
