Kant's Metaphysical Foundations of Natural Science A Critical Guide New essays on Kant's complex work, considering its place in his oeuvre and in the history of science. Michael Bennett McNulty (Edited by) 9781108476898 (SKU 3293479), Cambridge University Press Hardback, published 11 August 2022 302 pages 23.5 x 15.7 x 2.2 cm, 0.57 kg 'This book is ideally suited to scholars and advanced students who intend to be introduced to [Metaphysical Foundations of Natural Science] in light of the most recent scholarship. It is also a must-read not only for those with a specific interest in Kant's philosophy of nature but also for any Kant scholar in general, as it illuminates an important aspect and many assumptions of the first Critique.' Kristina Engelhard, Journal of the History of Philosophy In his Metaphysical Foundations of Natural Science (1786), Kant accounts for the possibility of an acting-at-a-distance gravitational force, demonstrates the infinite divisibility of matter, and derives analogues to Newtonian laws of motion. The work is his major statement in philosophy of science, and was especially influential in German-speaking countries in the nineteenth century. However, this complex text has not received the scholarly attention it deserves. The chapters of this Critical Guide clarify the accounts of matter, motion, the mathematization of nature, space, and natural laws exhibited in the Metaphysical Foundations; elucidate the relationship between its metaphysics of nature
