Gabriele Gava

Opis

In two often neglected passages of the Critique of Pure Reason, Kant submits that the Critique is a 'treatise' or a 'doctrine of method'. Gabriele Gava argues that these passages point out that the Critique is the doctrine of method of metaphysics, with the task of showing that metaphysics can become a science.

Recenzje

'This is an interesting, ambitious and hugely impressive work that concerns the crucial and under-explored question of the methodology at play in Kant's Critique of Pure Reason. Gava's careful and extensive analysis puts the relationship between Kant's notions of 'transcendental philosophy' and a 'critique of pure reason' in a new light, one that will be of interest to anyone working on Kant's metaphysics and epistemology today.'
