Ebook: Kant: the arguments of the philosophers

This book gives a general introduction to the philosophy of Kant, and especially to "The Critique of Pure Reason." The author is cognizant of recent German research on Kant, and it informs his analysis of Kant's interpretation of the moral law and of the arguments for the existence of God. The special role of the argument from design is considered in detail, and the argument is advanced that Kant's transcendental idealism is "a very appealing theory." Readers should come away from this book with an understanding of the transcendental philosophy that underlies much of modern theology.;How is synthetic a priori knowledge possible? -- Transcendental arguments -- Space and time as a priori -- Space and time as intuitions -- Geometry and arithmetic -- The transcendental deduction of the categories -- Schematism and principles -- The transcendental object -- Transcendental idealism -- Postulates, ideas and aesthetic judgments -- The moral law -- God.
