Kant and the Foundations of Analytic Philosophy

Zusatztext Review from previous edition interesting and provocative ... well worth reading. If there is a tendency to oversimplify Kant's role in shaping early analytic philosophy! i.e. to see Kant as the proponent of views that the analysts! with ample justification! reacted against! and which they happily succeeded in demolishing once and for all! Hanna's book will serve as a helpful corrective. Klappentext Robert Hanna presents a fresh view of the Kantian and analytic traditions that have dominated continental European and Anglo-American philosophy over the last two centuries! and of the connections between them. But this is not just a study in the history of philosophy! for out of this emerges Hanna's original approach to two much-contested theories that remain at the heart of contemporary philosophy. Hanna puts forward a new 'cognitive-semantic' interpretation of transcendental idealism! and a vigorous defense of Kant's theory of analytic and synthetic necessary truth! making this compelling reading for all who are interested in these fundamental philosophical issues. Zusammenfassung Robert Hanna presents a fresh view of the Kantian and analytic traditions that have dominated continental European and Anglo-American philosophy over the last two centuries, and of the relation between them.
