@article{2016,title={ON THE IDENTITY OF BEING AND THOUGHT: A COMPARATIVE ESSAY ON PLATO AND KANT},abstractNode={Both Plato and Kant accept that philosophy is a questioning of the relation between knowledge and being. Both of them do not comment on knowledge and being beyond the relation of them. Although they have different starting points, for Plato knowledge can be accepted true only in so far as its object is real; as for Kant the ideas of Reason can employ in the ethical realm where they are the most competent. According to them the validity of knowledge is dependent on its object. That is the category of being and the subject knowing cannot be located beyond this relation. The aim of this paper is to explain this common point between these philosophers.},author={Zeliha BURCU ACAR},year={2016},journal={The Journal of Social Sciences}}
