Kant was concerned with issues in the philosophy of natural science throughout his life. The Metaphysical Foundations of Natural Science presents mature reflections on these themes in the context of both his critical philosophy, presented in the Critique of Pure Reason, & the natural science of his time. This book features a new translation which is especially clear & accurate, together with an historical & philosophical introduction & a guide to further reading.
