Abstract
Maurizio Ferraris’s new realism positions Immanuel Kant as a central opponent. He accuses him of distancing us from reality through conceptual schemes and of laying the groundwork for postmodern thought, characterized by correlationism and constructivism. Yet, despite this apparent opposition, Kant remains fundamental to Ferraris’s philosophical project. Rather than rejecting Kant outright, Ferraris inverts his legacy: he identifies in the Critique of Judgement the foundations of an emergentist natural ontology, and in the Critique of Pure Reason, the basis for a social ontology rooted in documentality.
