Is contemporary continental philosophy making a break with Kant?
The structures of knowledge, taken for granted since Kant's
Critique of Pure Reason, are now being called into question: the
finitude of the subject, the phenomenal given, a priori synthesis.
Relinquish the transcendental: such is the imperative of
postcritical thinking in the 21st century. Questions that we no
longer thought it possible to ask now reemerge with renewed vigor:
can Kant really maintain the difference between a priori and
innate? Can he deduce, rather than impose, the categories, or
justify the necessity of nature? Recent research into brain
development aggravates these suspicions, which measure
transcendental idealism against the thesis of a biological origin
for cognitive processes. In her important new book Catherine
Malabou lays out Kant's response to his posterity. True to its
subject, the book evolves as an epigenesis the differentiated
growth of the embryo for, as those who know how to read critical
philosophy affirm, this is the very life of the transcendental and
contains the promise of its transformation.
