The book explores the nuanced relationship between Kant's philosophy and Wittgenstein's post-Tractarian thought, emphasizing a heuristic interpretation rather than direct influence. It delves into key themes such as transcendentalism, idealism, and the critique of metaphysics, illustrating how Wittgenstein's philosophy represents a transformation of Kantian concepts. This transformation includes a deflationary view of transcendental idealism and a departure from the belief in the existence of metaphysical truths, offering a fresh perspective on their philosophical evolution.
