Robert Hanna argues for the importance of Kant's theories of the epistemological, metaphysical, and practical foundations of the "exact sciences"--relegated to the dustbin of the history of philosophy for most of the 20th century. In doing so he makes a valuable contribution to one of the most active and fruitful areas in contemporary scholarship on Kant.

Robert Hanna offers a fresh perspective on the Kantian and analytic traditions that have shaped European and Anglo-American philosophy over the past two centuries, exploring their interrelation. The emergence of analytic philosophy marked the decline of Kant's influence in Europe, yet Hanna argues that it also arose from Kant's ideas, as analytic philosophers defined their concepts through engagement with and rejection of Critical Philosophy. His work serves as both an interpretative study of Kant's Critique of Pure Reason and a critical examination of the historical roots of analytic philosophy, tracing its evolution from Frege to Quine. Hanna analyzes Kant's key doctrines in relation to their reception by influential analytic figures such as Frege, Moore, Russell, Wittgenstein, Carnap, and Quine. Beyond a historical account, Hanna introduces an original 'cognitive-semantic' interpretation of transcendental idealism and robustly defends Kant's theories of analytic and synthetic necessary truth. This makes the text engaging not only for philosophy specialists but also for anyone interested in these foundational philosophical debates.
