Ideas of Karl Leonhard Reinhold, by Text

[Austrian, 1757 - 1823, Ex-priest, teaching at the Universities of Jena and Kiel (in Denmark).]

1791 Foundations of Philosophical Knowledge
p.78 p.99 Subjects distinguish representations, as related both to subject and object
     Full Idea: In consciousness the subject distinguishes the representation from the subject and object, and relates it to both.
     From: Karl Leonhard Reinhold (Foundations of Philosophical Knowledge [1791], p.78), quoted by Terry Pinkard - German Philosophy 1760-1860 04
     A reaction: This is a reminder that twentieth century analytic discussions of perception were largely recapitulating late Enlightenment German philosophy. This is a very good definition of sense-data. I can think about my representations. Reinhold was a realist.
