"Mathematics in Kant's Critical Philosophy" provides a much needed
reading (and re-reading) of Kant's theory of the construction of
mathematical concepts through a fully contextualized analysis. In
this work Lisa Shabel convincingly argues that it is only through
an understanding of the relevant eighteenth century mathematics
textbooks, and the related mathematical practice, can the material
and context necessary for a successful interpretation of Kant's
philosophy be provided. This is borne out through sustained
readings of Euclid and Woolf in particular, which, when brought
together with Kant's work, allows for the elucidation of several
key issues and the reinterpretation of many hitherto opaque and
long debated passages.
