Description

Explore the deep connections between philosophy and science in Kant and the Exact Sciences. Published by Harvard University Press, this work examines how Immanuel Kant worked to create a philosophy that could support the scientific knowledge of his era. Michael Friedman focuses on Kants attempts to build a metaphysics that serves as a foundation for fields such as Euclidean geometry and Newtonian physics. This book provides a new perspective on the development of Kants thought. It tracks his intellectual journey from his 1747 thesis through the Critique of Pure Reason and concludes with his final unpublished writings in the Opus postumum. While many previous commentators have minimized these scientific efforts, Friedman argues that understanding this connection is necessary to grasp the full scope of Kants philosophical evolution. This is an essential read for students and scholars interested in the history of science and the roots of modern metaphysics.
