Beskrivning

This volume explores whether and how Kant’s philosophy can help us to advance debates in several different areas of contemporary philosophy.Kant’s philosophy has enjoyed continued and enthusiastic interest of scholars ever since its inception. However, the question of just how exactly and to what extent Kant is important in today’s philosophical landscape bears repeated exploration. With an emphasis on encompassing Kant’s system and placing it in the context of current philosophical debates, this volume explores the significance of Kant’s philosophy for metaphysics, epistemology, metaphilosophy and metaontology, philosophy of action, ethics, aesthetics, and political philosophy. The chapters address topics that range from the concept of corporate agency, language and culture within the context of Kant’s philosophy, gustatory aesthetics, the unexplored connections between the contemporary political category of communitarianism with central ideas in Kant’s aesthetics, and more.Kant’s Legacy for the 21st Century will appeal to scholars and advanced students who are working on Kant, as well as on contemporary issues in metaphysics, epistemology, metaphilosophy, philosophy of action, philosophy of cognitive science, ethics, aesthetics, and political philosophy.
