Transcendental Philosophy and Naturalism

Kant's introduction of a distinctive form of philosophical investigation and proof, known as transcendental, inaugurated a new philosophical tradition. Transcendental Philosophy and Naturalism assesses the present state and contemporary relevance of this tradition. The contributors aim to understand the theoretical structures involved in transcendental explanation, and to assess the contemporary relevance of the transcendental orientation, in particular withrespect to contemporary philosophical naturalism. These issues are approached from both naturalistic and transcendental perspectives.
