In his Metaphysical Foundations of Natural Science (1786), Kant
accounts for the possibility of an acting-at-a-distance
gravitational force, demonstrates the infinite divisibility of
matter, and derives analogues to Newtonian laws of motion. The work
is his major statement in philosophy of science, and was especially
influential in German-speaking countries in the nineteenth century.
However, this complex text has not received the scholarly attention
it deserves. The chapters of this Critical Guide clarify the
accounts of matter, motion, the mathematization of nature, space,
and natural laws exhibited in the Metaphysical Foundations;
elucidate the relationship between its metaphysics of nature and
Kant's critical philosophy; and describe the historical context for
Kant's account of natural science. The volume will be an invaluable
resource for understanding one of Kant's most difficult works, and
will set the agenda for future scholarship on Kant's philosophy of
science.
