This is the first book in English devoted entirely to Kant's "Opus
postumum" and its place in the Kantian oeuvre. Over the last few
decades, the importance of this text for our understanding of
Kant's philosophy has emerged with increasing clarity. Although
Kant began it in order to solve a relatively minor problem within
his philosophy, his reflections soon forced him to readdress
virtually all the key problems of his critical philosophy: the
objective validity of the categories, the dynamical theory of
matter, the natures of space and time, the refutation of idealism,
the theory of the self and its agency, the question of living
organisms, the doctrine of the practical postulates and the idea of
God, the unity of theoretical and practical reason, and the idea of
transcendental philosophy itself. In the end Kant was convinced
that these problems, some of which had preoccupied him throughout
his career, could finally be brought to a coherent and adequate
solution and integrated into a single philosophical conception. As
Eckart Forster shows in his penetrating study, Kant's conviction
deserves not only our intellectual respect but also our undivided
philosophical attention. Forster provides detailed analyses of the
key problems of Kant's "Opus postumum" and also relates them to
Kant's major published writings. In this way he provides unique
insights into the extraordinary continuity and inner dynamics of
Kant's transcendental philosophy as it progresses toward its final
synthesis.
