- Synopsis
- This collectionresponds to two needs in the literature. First, the Kantian tradition of thought about space and time represents a rich philosophical resource, insufficiently explored in Anglo-American philosophy. The volume explores this resource. More precisely, it questions a basic assumption of a powerful trend in contemporary metaphysics: the assumption that reality is spatio-temporally organised independently of us. Kant's revolutionary contribution to metaphysics was likewise to question this assumption. The volume draws attention to Kant's distinctive approach to metaphysics and breaks new ground by radically broadening the scope of recent discussions on space and time, in particular by examining certain connections which metaphysics and science have to epistemic agency. Second, contemporary Kantian philosophy is currently pursued along two lines of thinking developed in Anglo-American literature and European philosophy. This work brings their distinct claims into a productive dialogue on topical issues such as action, perception, the body, and cognition and its limits.
