Book Arithmetic and Combinatorics

Download or read book Arithmetic and Combinatorics written by Gottfried Martin and published by SIU Press. This book was released on 1985 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the only work to provide a historical account of Kant s theory of arithmetic, examining in detail the theories of both his predecessors and his successors.Until his death, Martin was the editor of "Kant-Studien "from 1954, of the general Kant index from 1964, of the Leibniz index from 1968, and coeditor of "Leibnizstudien "from 1969. This background is used to its fullest as he strives to make clear the historical milieu in which Kant s mathematical contributions developed. He uses Leibniz, Wolff, and others whose work was accomplished before Kant was born as well as Lambert, Mendelssohn, and others roughly contemporary with Kant; and when a point requires it, he refers to Gauss, Grassman, Frege, Russell, and Hilbert.In her translation Wubnig has approached the original author with an abiding respect. She makes the translation flow in English while preserving as far as possible the flavor of the original. She has added many bibliographical and biographical details to ease the following up of Martin s allusions and suggestions."

Book Reality and Negation   Kant s Principle of Anticipations of Perception

Download or read book Reality and Negation Kant s Principle of Anticipations of Perception written by Marco Giovanelli and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2010-11-18 with total page 261 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Kant, in the Critique of pure reason, only dedicates a few pages to the principle of Anticipations of Perception and only a few critical studies are outspokenly dedicated to this issue in recent critical literature. But if one considers the history of post-Kantian philosophy, one can immediately perceive the great importance of the new definition of the relationship between reality and negation, which Kant’s principle proposes. Critical philosophy is here radically opposed to the pre-critical metaphysical tradition: "Reality" no longer appears as absolutely positive being, which excludes all negativity from itself, and "negation" is not reduced to being a simple removal, the mere absence of being. Instead, reality and negation behave as an equally positive something in respect to one another such that negation is itself a reality that is actively opposed to another reality. Such a definition of the relation between reality and negation became indispensible for post-Kantian Philosophy and represents a central aspect of Kantian-inspired philosophy in respect to Leibnizian metaphysics. The present work therefore departs from the hypothesis that the essential philosophical importance of the Anticipations of Perception can only be fully measured by exploring its impact in the Post-Kantian debate.

Book Kant  A Biography

  • Author : Manfred Kuehn
  • Publisher : Cambridge University Press
  • Release : 2001-03-19
  • ISBN : 1316025438
  • Pages : 580 pages

Download or read book Kant A Biography written by Manfred Kuehn and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2001-03-19 with total page 580 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the first full-length biography in more than fifty years of Immanuel Kant, one of the giants amongst the pantheon of Western philosophers as well as the one with the most powerful and broad influence on contemporary philosophy. It is well known that Kant spent his entire life in an isolated part of Prussia living the life of a typical university professor. This has given rise to the view that Kant was a pure thinker with no life of his own, or at least none worth considering seriously. In this biography, Manfred Kuehn debunks that myth once and for all. Taking account of the most recent scholarship Professor Kuehn allows the reader (whether interested in philosophy, history, politics, German culture, or religion) to follow the same journey that Kant himself took in emerging as a central figure in modern philosophy.

Book The Philosophy of the Young Kant

Download or read book The Philosophy of the Young Kant written by Martin Schonfeld and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2000-10-12 with total page 368 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This intellectual biography of Immanuel Kant's early years-- from 1746 when he wrote his first book, to 1766 when he lost his faith in metaphysics --makes an outstanding contribution to Kant scholarship. Schönfeld meticulously examines most of Kant's early works, summarizes their content, and exhibits their shortcomings and strengths. He places the early theories in their historical context and describes the scientific discoveries and philosophical innovations that distinguish Kant's pre-critical works. Schönfeld argues that these works were all aspects of a single project carried out by Kant to reconcile metaphysical and scientific perspectives and combine them into a coherent model of nature.

Book Kant s System of Perspectives

Download or read book Kant s System of Perspectives written by Stephen Palmquist and published by . This book was released on 1993 with total page 504 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Here, Stephen R. Palmquist attempts to revolutionise Kant scholarship by demonstrating the high degree of systematic coherence and consistency in Kant's entire philosophical project. By using the principle of perspective as a technical tool, Palmquist reveals the theories in Kant's critical works to be the architectonic elaboration of a single idea. Palmquist asserts that Kant's system cannot be properly interpeted without understanding its essentially constructive, theocentric orientation and its systematic character. Thus, the unity which the author discusses replaces the typical interpretation of Kant's theology and philosophy of religion as an austere, deistic agnosticism and moral reductionism with a richer, more practical framework for theological thinking.

Book A Commentary on Kant s Critique of Practical Reason

Download or read book A Commentary on Kant s Critique of Practical Reason written by Lewis White Beck and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 1963 with total page 321 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When this work was first published in 1960, it immediately filled a void in Kantian scholarship. It was the first study entirely devoted to Kant's Critique of Practical Reason and by far the most substantial commentary on it ever written. This landmark in Western philosophical literature remains an indispensable aid to a complete understanding of Kant's philosophy for students and scholars alike. This Critique is the only writing in which Kant weaves his thoughts on practical reason into a unified argument. Lewis White Beck offers a classic examination of this argument and expertly places it in the context of Kant's philosophy and of the moral philosophy of the eighteenth century.

Book Kant s Philosophy of Mathematics  Volume 1  The Critical Philosophy and its Roots

Download or read book Kant s Philosophy of Mathematics Volume 1 The Critical Philosophy and its Roots written by Carl Posy and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2020-05-21 with total page 333 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The late 1960s saw the emergence of new philosophical interest in Kant's philosophy of mathematics, and since then this interest has developed into a major and dynamic field of study. In this state-of-the-art survey of contemporary scholarship on Kant's mathematical thinking, Carl Posy and Ofra Rechter gather leading authors who approach it from multiple perspectives, engaging with topics including geometry, arithmetic, logic, and metaphysics. Their essays offer fine-grained analysis of Kant's philosophy of mathematics in the context of his Critical philosophy, and also show sensitivity to its historical background. The volume will be important for readers seeking a comprehensive picture of the current scholarship about the development of Kant's philosophy of mathematics, its place in his overall philosophy, and the Kantian themes that influenced mathematics and its philosophy after Kant.

Book Baumgarten and Kant on Metaphysics

Download or read book Baumgarten and Kant on Metaphysics written by Courtney D. Fugate and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2018-05-24 with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Baumgarten and Kant on Metaphysics explores the metaphysics of Alexander Gottlieb Baumgarten (17141762) and its decisive influence on Immanuel Kant. For over a century, scholars have recognized the significance of Baumgarten's Metaphysics, both because of its impact on Kant's intellectual development, and because of the way it fundamentally informed the work of generations of German philosophers, including Moses Mendelssohn, Thomas Abbt, Johann Gottfried Herder, Solomon Maimon, Johann August Eberhard, and arguably even Georg Friedrich Hegel. However, Baumgarten's Metaphysics has only recently become available in reliable German and English translations; as such, many scholars have been excluded from the discussion and the significance of Baumgarten's work has remained largely unexplored. Thus with the appearance of these translations, interest in Baumgarten's work has surged. This collection provides an anchor for this emerging discussion by presenting chapters by some of the scholars most responsible for Baumgarten's current reputation, together with some of the best young scholars in this emerging field.
