{"product_id":"9789401044929","title":"Boston Studies in the Philosophy and History of Science","description":"\u003ch1\u003eBoston Studies in the Philosophy and History of Science\u003c\/h1\u003e \u003ch2\u003ePlaass, Peter; Miller, A.E.\u003c\/h2\u003e \u003cp\u003ePlaass's treatise stood at the beginning of a renewed wave of  scholarship regarding Kant's  \u003cem\u003eMetaphysical Foundations of  Natural\u003c\/em\u003e \u003cem\u003eScience (MF)\u003c\/em\u003e. Plaass argues that the  \u003cem\u003eMF\u003c\/em\u003e  represents an integral step in Kant's development between the two  editions of the  \u003cem\u003eCritique of\u003c\/em\u003e \u003cem\u003ePure Reason\u003c\/em\u003e. The  \u003cem\u003eMF\u003c\/em\u003e  repeats the `Copernican turn', using the conditions of subjectivity to  derive the metaphysical determinations of `matter' as the object of  natural science with the new method called `metaphysical  construction', which simultaneously grounds the mathematizability of  physics. The translators provide background and analysis of Plaass's  work, extend it to include the body of the  \u003cem\u003eMF\u003c\/em\u003e and offer a  variation on the analysis of the relationship between mathematics and  metaphysics in the  \u003cem\u003eMF\u003c\/em\u003e. They discuss its relevance for  contemporary paradigm-dependency approaches to the philosophy of  science and for philosophical hermeneutics. The book will be of  interest to Kant specialists as well as to students of the philosophy  of science in general. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2012-10-14\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9789401044929\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-94-011-1126-3\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 223cm x152cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 367\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer Netherlands","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44398504804492,"sku":"9789401044929","price":152.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9789401044929.jpg?v=1772024795","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9789401044929","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
