In recent years, many philosophers of modern physics came to the
conclusion that the problem of how objectivity is constituted
(rather than merely given) can no longer be avoided, and therefore
that a transcendental approach in the spirit of Kant is now
philosophically relevant. The usual excuse for skipping this task
is that the historical form given by Kant to transcendental
epistemology has been challenged by Relativity and Quantum Physics.
However, the true challenge is not to force modern physics into a
rigidly construed static version of Kant s philosophy, but to
provide Kant s method with flexibility and generality.
In this book, the top specialists of the field pin down the
methodological core of transcendental epistemology that must be
used in order to throw light on the foundations of modern physics.
First, the basic tools Kant used for his transcendental reading of
Newtonian Mechanics are examined, and then early transcendental
approaches of Relativistic and Quantum Physics are revisited.
Transcendental procedures are also applied to contemporary physics,
and this renewed transcendental interpretation is finally compared
with structural realism and constructive empiricism. The book will
be of interest to scientists, historians and philosophers who are
involved in the foundational problems of modern physics."
