Kant''s Transcendental Deduction - An Analytical-Historical Commentary

Zusatztext The purpose of this book, by one of the foremost contemporary Kant scholars, is to advance a simultaneously 'analytic and historical' treatment of the most complex component of Kant's philosophy: the Transcendental Deduction ...One of the many virtues of his magisterial account is that by setting out the resources of the Deduction in such detail, we can now better evaluate its role in the actual arguments of the Critique.
