This is a new monograph offering the first focused study of the
place of transcendental arguments within Kant's system as a
whole.Two currents of thought dominated Western philosophy in the
seventeenth and eighteenth centuries: Continental Rationalism and
British Empiricism. Despite the gradual dissemination of British
ideas on the Continent in the first decades of the eighteenth
century, these fundamentally disparate philosophical outlooks
seemed to be wholly irreconcilable.However, the publication of
Immanuel Kant's "Critique of Pure Reason" in 1781 presented an
entirely new method of philosophical reasoning that promised to
combine the virtues of Rationalism with the scientific rigour of
Empiricism. This book offers the first extended analysis of Kant's
method of proof in philosophy. The author constructs a model based
on Kant's own statements about his procedure and then examines his
famous proofs in light of it. Great emphasis is placed on
historical accuracy and the debunking of popular myths about Kant's
aims and doctrines. The result is a compelling new picture of Kant
that will challenge current assumptions.
