- lang: eng
  text: n 1789, Eberhard repudiated Kant’s claim expressed in the first edition of
    his Critique of Pure Reason to have delivered a new, namely transcendental turn
    in philosophy, as he was able to retrace our cognition to the origin of phenomena
    instead of delivering a “merely logical deduction”. Eberhard holds that there
    was nothing new, but all delivered in Leibniz and Wolff; to prove his claim he
    refers to a quote from Du Châtelet, taken from a paragraph where she determines
    the right understanding as to be able “to penetrate to the origin of phenomena”.
    This paper brings Du Châtelet into discourse with Kant via this Eberhard quote.
    In its first part, it investigates the use of her quote in the Kant-Eberhard controversy.
    The second part serves to ground the quote in Du Châtelet’s epistemology. It lays
    out how to understand Du Châtelet’s claim to penetrate to the origin of phenomena.
    Du Châtelet’s claim to have renewed philosophy must be taken seriously, and it
    is helpful for rethinking the German philosophical development from the rationalists
    to Kant through including Du Châtelet’s theory of cognition.
