Description
CAMBRIDGE UNIVERSITY PRESS Kant'S Theory Of Normativity : Exploring The Space Of Reason by Konstantin Pollok
Konstantin Pollok offers the first book-length analysis of Kants theory of normativity that covers foundational issues in theoretical and practical philosophy as well as aesthetics. Interpreting Kants critical turn as a normative turn, he argues that Kants theory of normativity is both original and radical: it departs from the perfectionist ideal of early modern rationalism, and arrives at an unprecedented framework of synthetic a priori principles that determine the validity of our judgments. Pollok examines the hylomorphism in Kants theory of normativity and relates Kants idea of our reasons self-legislation to the natural right tradition, revealing Kants debt to his predecessors as well as his relevance to contemporary debates on normativity. This book will appeal to academic researchers and advanced students of Kant, early modern philosophy and intellectual history.show more
