In the mid-eighteenth century metaphysics was broadly understood as
the study of three areas of philosophical thought: theology,
psychology and cosmology. This book examines the fortunes of the
third of these formidable metaphysical concepts, the world. Sean
Gaston provides a clear and concise account of the concept of world
from the mid-eighteenth century to the end of the twentieth
century, exploring its possibilities and limitations and engaging
with current issues in politics and ecology. He focuses on the work
of five principal thinkers: Kant, Hegel, Husserl, Heidegger and
Derrida, all of whom attempt to establish new grounds for seeing
the world as a whole. Gaston presents a critique of the
self-evident use of the concept of world in philosophy and asks
whether one can move beyond the need for a world-like vantage point
to maintain a concept of world. From Kant to the present day this
concept has been a problem for philosophy and it remains to be seen
if we need a new Copernican revolution when it comes to the concept
of world.
