Kant and Idealism, Hardback Book

Kant and Idealism Hardback

Hardback

Description

Distinguished scholar and philosopher Tom Rockmore examines one of the great lacunae of contemporary philosophical discussion—idealism.

Addressing the widespread confusion about the meaning and use of the term, he surveys and classifies some of its major forms, giving particular attention to Kant.

He argues that Kant provides the all-important link between three main types of idealism: those associated with Plato, the new way of ideas, and German idealism.

The author also makes a case for the contemporary relevance of at least one strand in the tangled idealist web, a strand most clearly identified with Kant: constructivism.

In terms of the philosophical tradition, Rockmore contends, constructivism offers a lively, interesting, and important approach to knowledge after the decline of metaphysical realism.
