Gabriele Gava Book order

Focusing on Kant's overlooked passages in the Critique of Pure Reason, Gabriele Gava contends that the work serves as a foundational doctrine of method for metaphysics. Gava argues that Kant's intent is to demonstrate how metaphysics can evolve into a scientific discipline, emphasizing the importance of method in philosophical inquiry. This exploration sheds light on the critical relationship between methodology and the legitimacy of metaphysical study, offering a fresh perspective on Kant's philosophical contributions.

"Philosophers working within the pragmatist tradition have pictured their relation to Kant and Kantianism in very diverse terms: some have presented their work as an appropriation and development of Kantian ideas, some have argued that pragmatism is an approach in complete opposition to Kant. This collection investigates the relationship between pragmatism, Kant, and current Kantian approaches to transcendental arguments in a detailed and original way. Chapters highlight pragmatist aspects of Kant's thought and trace the influence of Kant on the work of pragmatists and neo-pragmatists, engaging with the work of Peirce, James, Lewis, Sellars, Rorty, and Brandom, among others. They also consider to what extent contemporary approaches to transcendental arguments are compatible with a pragmatist standpoint. The book includes contributions from renowned authors working on Kant, pragmatism and contemporary Kantian approaches to philosophy, and provides an authoritative and original perspective on the relationship between pragmatism and Kantianism"--Publisher's website
