Kant''s Modal Metaphysics

Zusatztext Kant's Modal Metaphysics charts a fascinating course from Kant's pre-Critical ideas about modality through to his more mature, Critical, view. We are not just offered an account of what Kant said about some narrow topicmodalitybut rather a narrative according to which questions arising from Kant's modal metaphysics play a crucial role in motivating and shaping the Critical philosophy Informationen zum Autor Nicholas F. Stang is Assistant Professor in the Department of Philosophy at University of Toronto. Klappentext Nicholas F. Stang explores Kant's theory of possibility, from the precritical period of the 1750-60s to the Critical system initiated by the Critique of Pure Reason in 1781. He argues that the key to understanding the relationship between these periods lies in Kant's reorientation of an ontological question towards a transcendental approach. Zusammenfassung Nicholas F.
