Description
CAMBRIDGE UNIVERSITY PRESS Opus Postumum by Immanuel Kant , Edited by Eckart Foerster , Edited by Michael Rosen
This volume is the first ever English translation of Kants last major work, the so-called Opus Postumum, a work Kant himself described as his chef doeuvre and as the keystone of his entire philosophical system. It occupied him for more than the last decade of his life. Begun with the intention of providing a transition from the metaphysical foundations of natural science to physics, Kants reflections take him far beyond the problem he initially set out to solve. In fact, he reassesses a whole series of fundamental topics of transcendental philosophy: the thing in itself, the nature of space and time, the concept of the self and its agency, the idea of God, and the unity of theoretical and practical reason. Though never completed, the text reaches a logical albeit not fully developed, conclusion.show more
