Description
Book SynopsisLeibniz and Kant were the most important figures in German philosophy from the late 17th to the early 19th century. This volume examines the relationships between their philosophies, illuminating fundamental questions of metaphysics, epistemology, and philosophical theology, and assessing Kant's understanding of his philosophical predecessor.
Trade ReviewWhile ruling out direct intervention by God in the course of nature, Kant leaves open the possibility that there are some phenomena that are subject to transcendental principles without following the laws of nature known to us. * Georg Sans SJ, Zeitschrift für Theologie und Philosophie *
