Description
Book SynopsisThis reinterpretation of Kant's positive theory of knowledge in the "Critique of Pure Reason" argues that he is fundamentally concerned with the very possibility of a priori knowledge - the very possibility of the possibility of empirical knowledge in the first place.
Trade Review“Centering on the notion of ‘things’ simpler (as opposed to either things ‘in themselves’ or objects of experience as such), Greenberg has developed a highly original reading of Kant’s arguments regarding the a priori conditions of knowledge. As a challenge to the main lines of approach to those arguments today, it cannot be ignored.”

“This is one of the deepest and most carefully reasoned books on Kant I have read. It is a book for the scholar of the first Critique, not the ‘educated layman,’ but it very much needs to be read by the former. I repeat: this is a book that needs to be read by any scholar concerned with the problem of a priori knowledge in Kant.”

“Robert Greenberg offers an intricate, highly original reading of Kant’s first Critique on what constitutes the possibility of a priori knowledge. One of the book’s main features, ambitious in scope, is the author’s extensive polemic against mainstream Anglophone approaches to Kant’s position on a priori knowledge.”
