Kant's critical philosophy marks the end of a two-thousand year tradition of metaphysics. Against this older tradition, Kant proposes a new metaphysics of knowledge and human freedom with the autonomy of the subject as its principle. Led by the principle of subjectivity, it attempts to obtain a unified understanding of the whole world organized into a system of reason. In this way, the idea of classical metaphysics receives a new controversial interpretation still discussed today. In twelve contributions, the fifth volume of the Yearbook pursues the different forms of grounding metaphysics after Kant.
The book investigates the reinterpretation and grounding of metaphysics following Immanuel Kant's critical philosophy. Kant's work fundamentally altered the landscape of metaphysics, shifting the tradition from a two-thousand-year-old pursuit to a new framework centered on the autonomy of the subject and the metaphysics of knowledge and human freedom. This volume, comprising twelve contributions, explores the various ways metaphysics has been re-established and understood in the post-Kantian era, examining how the concept of classical metaphysics has been controversially reinterpreted and continues to be debated.
This volume is presented as a scholarly exploration of Kantian metaphysics and its subsequent developments. The collection of twelve contributions suggests a comprehensive academic treatment of the subject, likely appealing to specialists in philosophy and Kantian studies. The focus on the 'controversial interpretation' and 'different forms of grounding metaphysics after Kant' indicates a text that engages with ongoing academic discourse and critical analysis within the field.
