Kant's influence on the history of philosophy is vast and protean.
The transcendental turn denotes one of its most important forms,
defined by the notion that Kant's deepest insight should not be
identified with any specific epistemological or metaphysical
doctrine, but rather concerns the fundamental standpoint and terms
of reference of philosophical enquiry. To take the transcendental
turn is not to endorse any of Kant's specific teachings, but to
accept that the Copernican revolution announced in the Preface of
the Critique of Pure Reason sets philosophy on a new footing and
constitutes the proper starting point of philosophical reflection.
The aim of this volume is to map the historical trajectory of
transcendental philosophy and the major forms that it has taken.
The contributions, from leading contemporary scholars, focus on the
question of what the transcendental turn consists in-its
motivation, justification, and implications; and the limitations
and problems which it arguably confronts-with reference to the
relevant major figures in modern philosophy, including Kant,
Fichte, Hegel, Nietzsche, Husserl, Heidegger, Merleau-Ponty, and
Wittgenstein. Central themes and topics discussed include the
distinction of realism from idealism, the relation of
transcendental to absolute idealism, the question of how
transcendental conclusions stand in relation to (and whether they
can be made compatible with) naturalism, the application of
transcendental thought to foundational issues in ethics, and the
problematic relation of phenomenology to transcendental enquiry.
