Kant, Science, and Human Nature [Hardcover]

Robert Hanna argues for the importance of Kant's theories of the epistemological, metaphysical, and practical foundations of the exact sciences --relegated to the dustbin of the history of philosophy for most of the 20th century. In doing so he makes a valuable contribution to one of the most active and fruitful areas in contemporary scholarship on Kant.
