The book addresses two main areas of Kant’s theoretical philosophy:&nbsp;the doctrine of transcendental idealism and various central&nbsp;aspects of the arguments from the Metaphysical and Transcendental&nbsp;Deductions, as well as the relation between the deduction argument&nbsp;and idealism.<div><div><br></div><div>Among the topics covered are the nature of&nbsp;objective validity, the role and function of transcendental logic in&nbsp;relation to general or formal logic, the possibility of contradictory&nbsp;thoughts, the meaning of the Leitfaden at A79 and the unity of&nbsp;cognition, the two-steps-in-one-proof interpretation and categorial&nbsp;instantiation, categorial illusion, Strawson’s transcendental argument,&nbsp;the persistently perplexing question of the derivation of the categories,&nbsp;and the relation between apperception, objectivity, judgement, and&nbsp;idealism.</div><div><br></div><div>With regard to idealism in particular, the focus is on the&nbsp;metaphysical two-aspect interpretation and its problems, on the merits&nbsp;and demerits of the controversial phenomenalist reading of Kant’s&nbsp;idealism, and on the topic of subjectivism and epistemic humility.</div><div><br></div><div>In all of the aforementioned topics, the book presents wholly novel interpretations compared to the standard or mainstream interpretations</div></div>

Writing with his usual combination of precision and elegance, his views often involve positioning himself between opposing factions, in the spirit of Kant’s own critical stance. He also exorcises a number of concerns that regularly resurface in Kant scholarship. This book thus goes a long way in assuaging the uneasiness that phenomenalism instils among many, and the worry that there is still a gap in the Transcendental Deduction that needs to be bridged.—Christian Onof, Reader, Imperial College London, and Honorary Fellow in Philosophy, Birkbeck College, London.&nbsp;</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>Dennis Schulting is an independent scholar.
