The book explores the revival of Neo-Kantianism as a significant philosophical force in light of recent scientific advancements in fields like vision science and artificial intelligence. It critiques empiricism, naturalism, and analytical philosophy while reconstructing rationalism through Kant's critical method and introducing the concept of visual thinking as a foundational element of knowledge. The author connects visual cognition to historical philosophical works and argues for modernizing Kant's epistemology to align with contemporary scientific insights, aiming to reinstate Kant's humanistic philosophy in the 21st century.
