Kant and the Systematicity of the Sciences (eBook, ePUB)

Redaktion: Gava, Gabriele; Vesper, Achim; Sturm, Thomas

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

This book provides the first comprehensive discussion regarding the role that Kant ascribes to systematicity in the sciences. It considers not only what Kant has to say on systematicity in general, but also how the systematicity requirement for science is specified in different fields of knowledge.

The chapters are divided into three thematic sections. Part I is devoted to historical context. The chapters explore precursors of Kant's account of the systematicity of the sciences. Part II addresses the application of systematicity to the special sciences - cosmology, physics, chemistry, logic, mathematics, the life sciences, and history. Finally, Part III explores the systematicity of philosophy.

Kant and the Systematicity of the Sciences will be of interest to scholars and advanced students working on Kant and the history and philosophy of science.
