This book presents a new interpretation of Kanta (TM)s theory of
knowledge that emphasizes the coherence and plausibility of his
doctrine of transcendental idealism. Many interpreters believe that
Kanta (TM)s transcendental idealism is an incoherent theory. Some
have attempted to respond to this charge. Yet, as the author
demonstrates, the interpretations that seek to vindicate Kanta
(TM)s theory continue to be committed to some claims that evoke the
charge of incoherence. One type of claim which does so is connected
to the contradictory notion of subjective necessity. The other type
of claim is related to the supposition that knowledge of the
reality of appearances entails knowledge of the reality of things
in themselves. The interpretation presented in this book does not
involve any of these claims. Part One of this book presents an
analysis of Kanta (TM)s concept of a priori knowledge and of his
response to skepticism about synthetic a priori knowledge that
specifies the content of such knowledge without invoking the notion
of subjective necessity. Part Two presents an account of the
non-spatiotemporality of things in themselves that does not entail
knowledge of the reality of things in themselves. Part Three
presents a new interpretation of transcendental synthesis, the
transcendental "I" and of the role of transcendental
self-consciousness in synthetic a priori knowledge which emphasizes
the originality of Kanta (TM)s account of self-knowledge and
subjectivity. The arguments presented in this book relate Kanta
(TM)s ideas to current debates in epistemology, metaphysics and the
philosophy of mind in a way that underscores their invaluable
relevance to present-day philosophicaldiscourse.
