Toward Everyday Discourse in Hume, Kant and Modern Philosophy
休谟、康德和现代哲学的日常话语转向

Hume and Kant are the two modern philosophers most likely to be discussed in juxtaposition. While the former turned the direction of philosophical studies from metaphysics to everyday discourse, from the divine to the secular world through his criticism of metaphysics and definition of knowledge, the latter pushed it further from empiricism to the a priori and critical philosophy by proving the possibility of the a prior or rational knowledge. This turning of direction gave further rise to the linguistic turn in modern Western philosophy.
