| book description |

The book addresses two main areas of Kantâ€™s theoretical philosophy:Â the doctrine of transcendental idealism and various centralÂ aspects of the arguments from the Metaphysical and TranscendentalÂ Deductions, as well as the relation between the deduction argumentÂ and idealism. Among the topics covered are the nature ofÂ objective validity, the role and function of transcendental logic inÂ relation to general or formal logic, the possibility of contradictoryÂ thoughts, the meaning of the Leitfaden at A79 and the unity ofÂ cognition, the two-steps-in-one-proof interpretation and categorialÂ instantiation, categorial illusion, Strawsonâ€™s transcendental argument,Â the persistently perplexing question of the derivation of the categories,Â and the relation between apperception, objectivity, judgement, andÂ idealism. With regard to idealism in particular, the focus is on theÂ metaphysical two-aspect interpretation and its problems, on the meritsÂ and demerits of the controversial phenomenalist reading of Kantâ€™sÂ idealism, and on the topic of subjectivism and epistemic humility. In all of the aforementioned topics, the book presents wholly novel interpretations compared to the standard or mainstream interpretations
