in: Roxana Baiasu, Graham Bird, A. W. Moore (eds), Contemporary Kantian metaphysics, Berlin, Springer, 2012Abstract
This volume includes newly written essays in metaphysics which share a strong engagement with the Kantian tradition, and are linked to issues concerning space and time. The volume has been designed to respond to two perceived needs in the literature. First, a powerful trend in contemporary metaphysics in the Anglophone literature assumes that reality is spatio- temporally organized independently of us, the creatures who make sense of it; by contrast, the volume is prepared to question this assumption in its concerns with the relationship between things in time and space, on the one hand, and the epistemic agents who make sense of them, on the other. The volume thus examines the connections which metaphysics and science have to epistemic agency, its cognitive powers and limits.
