Produktbeschreibung
Immanuel Kant's 'Transcendental Deduction of the Categories' addresses issues centrally debated today in philosophy and in cognitive sciences, especially in epistemology, and in theory of perception. Kant's insights into these issues are clouded by pervasive misunderstandings of Kant's 'Deduction' and its actual aims, scope, and argument. The present edition with its fresh and accurate translation and concise commentary aims to serve these contemporary debates as well as continuing intensive and extensive scholarship on Kant's Critique of Pure Reason. Two surprising results are that 'Transcendental Deduction' is valid and sound, and it holds independently of Kant's transcendental idealism. This lucid volume is interesting and useful to students, yet sufficiently detailed to be informative to specialists.
Autorenporträt
Kenneth R. Westphal is Professor of Philosophy, Böaziçi Üniversitesi (¿stanbul). His research focuses on the character and scope of rational justification in non-formal, substantive domains, both moral (ethics, justice, history and philosophy of law, philosophy of education) and theoretical (epistemology, history and philosophy of science). His books include Kant's Transcendental Proof of Realism (Cambridge, 2004), How Hume and Kant Reconstruct Natural Law: Justifying Strict Objectivity without Debating Moral Realism (Clarendon, 2016), Grounds of Pragmatic Realism: Hegel's Internal Critique and Transformation of Kant's Critical Philosophy (Brill, 2018), Hegel's Civic Republicanism: Integrating Natural Law with Kant's Moral Constructivsm (Routledge, 2020) and Kant's Critical Epistemology: Why Epistemology must Consider Judgment First (Routledge, 2020). He is researching systematically history and philosophy of law, especially Montesquieu, G.W.F. Hegel and Rudolf von Jhering, to develop a cogent normative sociological theory of law and justice.
