This book" "provides a novel treatment of Immanuel Kant's views
on proper natural science and biology. The status of biology in
Kant's system of science is often taken to be problematic. By
analyzing Kant's philosophy of biology in relation to his
conception of proper science, the present book determines Kant's
views on the scientific status of biology. Combining a broad
"ideengeschichtlich" approach with a detailed historical
reconstruction of philosophical and scientific texts, the book
establishes important interconnections between Kant's philosophy of
science, his views on biology, and his reception of late 18th
century biological theories. It discusses Kant's views on science
and biology as articulated in his published writings and in the
"Opus postumum." The book shows that although biology is a
non-mathematical science and the relation between biology and other
natural sciences is not specified, Kant did allow for the
possibility of providing scientific explanations in biology and
assigned biology a specific domain of investigation. "
