Opis

This book is concerned with the relation between Kant's views on the foundations of physics and critical philosophy more generally. It examines the place without Kant's critical philosophy of the central contrast between the mechanistic and the dynamical conceptions of matter, and in particular, of the property of impenetrability.

Recenzje
