The papers in this volume are offered in celebration of the 200th
anni versary of the pub 1 i cat i on of Inmanue 1 Kant's The
MetaphysicaL Foundations of NatupaL Science. All of the es says
(including the Introduction) save two were written espe ci ally for
thi s volume. Gernot Bohme' s paper is an amended and enlarged
version of one originally read in the series of lectures and
colloquia in philosophy of science offered by Boston University. My
own paper is a revised and enlarged version (with an appendix
containing completely new material) of one read at the biennial
meeting of the Philosophy of Sci ence Association held in Chicago
in 1984. Why is it important to devote this attention to Kant's
last published work in the philosophy of physics? The excellent
essays in the volume will answer the question. I will provide some
schematic com ments designed to provide an image leading from the
general question to its very specific answers. Kant is best known
for hi s monumental Croitique of Pure Reason and for his writings
in ethical theory. His "critical" philosophy requires an initial
sharp division of knowledge into its theoretical and practical
parts. Moral perfection of attempts to act out of duty is the aim
of practical reason. The aim of theoretical reason is to know the
truth about ma terial and spiritual nature."
