Immanuel Kant's enduring influence on philosophy is indisputable.
In particular, Kant transformed debates on the fundamental
questions in logic, and it is the significance and complexity of
this accomplishment that Huaping Lu-Adler here explores. Kant's
theory of logic represents a turning point in a history of
philosophical debates over the following questions: Is logic a
science, instrument, standard of assessment, or mixture of these?
Kant's official answer to these questions centers on three
distinctions: general versus particular logic; pure versus applied
logic; pure general logic versus transcendental logic. The true
meaning and significance of each distinction becomes clear,
Lu-Adler argues, only if we consider two factors. First, Kant was
mindful of various historical views on how logic relates to other
branches of philosophy and to the workings of common human
understanding. Second, he invented "transcendental logic" while
struggling to secure metaphysics as a proper "science," and this
conceptual innovation in turn held profound implications for his
mature theory of logic. Against this backdrop, Lu-Adler reassesses
the place of Kant's theory in the history of philosophy of logic
and highlights certain issues that are debated today, including
normativity of logic and the challenges posed by logical pluralism.
Kant and the Science of Logic is both a history of philosophy of
logic told from the Kantian viewpoint and a reconstruction of
Kant's theory of logic from a historical perspective. It is a vital
contribution to the study of Kantian logic.
