Book synopsis

Immanuel Kant sought throughout his life to provide a philosophy adequate to the sciences of his time - especially Euclidean geometry and Newtonian physics. In this book, Michael Friedman argues that Kant's continuing efforts to find a metaphysics that could provide a foundation for the sciences is of the utmost importance for understanding the development of his philosophical thought, from its earliest beginnings in the thesis of 1747, through the "Critique of Pure Reason" (1781), to his last unpublished writings on the "Opus postumum". Michael Friedman has also written "Foundations of Space-Time Theories", which won the Matchette Prize of the American Philosophical Association.
