Publisher's Synopsis
Kant?s First Critique and the Transcendental Deduction breaks new ground in Kantian scholarship. It presents the text of the transcendental deduction of the categories part by part, often only a few lines at a time, following each part with explanation, commentary, and criticism where this is judged useful in bringing out Kant?s thought. It also contains chapters on the Transcendental Aesthetic and the Metaphysical Deduction, and a chapter on the contemporary philosophical relevance of Kant?s arguments. It is ideal for students at all levels, enabling them to read and judge Kant?s text for themselves; invaluable as an aid to all teachers and tutors in Kant; and useful in providing a challenge to many interpretations of established scholars.
