Kant's modal metaphysics

Type Book

Rate 0.0 /5

Nicholas F. Stang explores Kant's theory of possibility, from the precritical period of the 1750-60s to the critical system initiated by the 'Critique of Pure Reason' in 1781. He argues that the key to understanding the relationship between these periods lies in Kant's reorientation of an ontological question towards a transcendental approach.
