Kant's Inaugural Dissertation Of 1770

By Immanuel Kant

Book Overview

Kant's Inaugural Dissertation of 1770 is a philosophical work written by Immanuel Kant. The book is a detailed exposition of Kant's early thoughts on metaphysics and epistemology. The dissertation was written as a requirement for Kant's appointment as a professor at the University of K������nigsberg. The book is divided into three parts. The first part deals with the nature of metaphysics and the limitations of human knowledge. Kant argues that metaphysics is a necessary and important field of study, but that it is limited by the nature of human understanding. He also argues that there are certain fundamental concepts that are necessary for any metaphysical inquiry, such as substance and causality.The second part of the book deals with the nature of space and time. Kant argues that space and time are not objective features of the external world, but rather are subjective forms of human intuition. He also argues that space and time are necessary for any experience of the external world.The third part of the book deals with the nature of causality and the relationship between cause and effect. Kant argues that causality is a necessary concept for any understanding of the external world, but that it is limited by the nature of human understanding. He also argues that the relationship between cause and effect is not a necessary one, but rather is contingent upon the specific circumstances of each individual case.Overall, Kant's Inaugural Dissertation of 1770 is an important work in the history of philosophy, and provides an early glimpse into Kant's later, more well-known works on metaphysics and epistemology.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
