Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

The Principle of Teleology: In the Critical Philosophy of Kant (1897) by David R. Major is a comprehensive study of the teleological principle in the critical philosophy of Immanuel Kant. The book provides an in-depth analysis of Kant's concept of teleology, which refers to the idea that nature has a purpose or design.Major explores the various aspects of Kant's teleology, including the distinction between natural and moral teleology, the relationship between teleology and causality, and the role of teleology in Kant's theory of knowledge. He also examines the criticisms of Kant's teleology, particularly those raised by his contemporaries and subsequent philosophers.The book is divided into four parts, each of which focuses on a different aspect of Kant's teleology. Part one provides an overview of Kant's critical philosophy and introduces the concept of teleology. Part two explores Kant's distinction between natural and moral teleology, while part three examines the relationship between teleology and causality. Part four concludes the book with a discussion of the criticisms of Kant's teleology and its relevance to contemporary philosophy.Overall, The Principle of Teleology is a valuable resource for anyone interested in Kant's philosophy or the concept of teleology in general. Major provides a clear and accessible analysis of Kant's complex ideas, making this book an excellent introduction to this important aspect of his philosophy.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
