商品簡介
One of Kant's primary frustrations with philosophy was that it had yet, in his time, to find a rational proof of the existence of the outside world, a failing many would argue continues to this day. Caranti (philosophy, Philips-U.) takes a new look at how Kant turned his frustration against Cartesian skepticism, providing a thorough historical analysis of Kant's writings on the question from 1788 to 1793. Caranti reconstructs Kant's critique to remove the prevailing obstacles in Critique of Pure Reason, including material on transcendental idealism along the way. The result is very pleasing and elegant, and neatly fills in many gaps in what had become a rather opaque series of arguments. Annotation c2007 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
