Abstract

Abraham Calov (1612-1686) was the most important philosopher of Königsberg before Immanuel Kant and a central figure of the Schulphilosophie in the seventeenth century. The Kant-Forschung has never paid much attention to him – with the exemption of Giorgio Tonelli’s investigations – although his thought seems to have a decisive bearing on Kant’s appraisal of a number of Aristotelian and Scholastic doctrines. In the present paper I aim to assess Calov’s influence on Kant as regards the following topics: 1) a propaedeutic to metaphysics; 2) the doctrine of transcendentals; 3) the concepts of being and nothing; 4) the architectonic.
