The Fiery Test of Critique: A Reading of Kant's Dialectic by Ian Proops (English

Description: The Fiery Test of Critique by Ian Proops Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Hardcover Condition Brand New Description Ian Proops illuminates the idea of critique, the fiery test which was central to Kants philosophical project. He shows how Kant conceived it as a process for separating good metaphysics from bad, and explores what the positive results of this process were in one of the most famous sections of his work, the Transcendental Dialectic. Publisher Description Kant conceived of critique as a kind of winnowing exercise, with the aim of separating the wheat of good metaphysics from the chaff of bad. He used a less familiar metaphor to make this point, namely, that of the fiery test of critique-not a medieval ordeal of trial by fire, but rather a metallurgical assay, or cupellation, a procedure in which ore samples are tested for their precious-metal content. When seen in this light, critique has a positive,investigatory side: it seeks not merely to eliminate bad, dogmatic metaphysics but also to uncover what of philosophical value might be contained in traditional speculative metaphysics. In this comprehensivestudy of the Transcendental Dialectic in Kants Critique of Pure Reason, Proops argues that Kant uncovered two nuggets of value: the indirect proof of Transcendental Idealism afforded by the resolution of the Antinomies, and a defence of theoretically grounded doctrinal beliefs in a wise and great originator, on the one hand, and in an afterlife, on the other. This examination of critique engages with Kants views on a number of central problems in philosophy and meta-philosophy: theexplanation of the enduring human impulse towards metaphysics, the correct philosophical method, the limits of self-knowledge, the possibility of human freedom, the resolution of metaphysical paradox(Antinomy), the justification of faith, the nature of scepticism, and the role of as if reasoning in natural science. Author Biography Ian Proops is Professor of Philosophy at The University of Texas at Austin. He works on Kant and on the history of analytic philosophy.
