Kant's philosophy is usually treated according to 'internalist'
textual methodology rather than contextually according to
'externalist' methodology. Kant and the Naturalistic Turn of 18th
Century Philosophy presents transcendental idealism, the
metaphysics of morals, and other Kantian innovations in philosophy
as a reaction to 18th century developments in the life and human
sciences. It interprets Kant's metaphysics as motivated by, on one
hand, anxiety over the moral dangers he perceived in the empiricism
of Buffon, Hume, Smith, and certain German materialists; and, on
the other, his theological scepticism. Topics treated include
cosmology and the fate of the earth, the mechanical philosophy and
the problems of life, mind, and matter, historical pessimism,
warfare and class consciousness, and the role of women in 18th
century society. This book sheds new light on all major aspects of
Kant's philosophy and opens avenues for further research.
