Plaass's treatise stood at the beginning of a renewed wave of
scholarship regarding Kant's Metaphysical Foundations of Natural
Science (MF). Plaass argues that the MF represents an integral step
in Kant's development between the two editions of the Critique of
Pure Reason. The MF repeats the `Copernican turn', using the
conditions of subjectivity to derive the metaphysical
determinations of `matter' as the object of natural science with
the new method called `metaphysical construction', which
simultaneously grounds the mathematizability of physics. The
translators provide background and analysis of Plaass's work,
extend it to include the body of the MF and offer a variation on
the analysis of the relationship between mathematics and
metaphysics in the MF. They discuss its relevance for contemporary
paradigm-dependency approaches to the philosophy of science and for
philosophical hermeneutics. The book will be of interest to Kant
specialists as well as to students of the philosophy of science in
general.
