What bearing does human self-consciousness have on questions in metaphysics and philosophical methodology? In "Articulated Unity: Kant’s Philosophy of Self-Consciousness as Critical Metaphysics", Jens Pier argues that Kant gives an ingenious and radical answer: the philosophy of self-consciousness and metaphysics are one and the same—insofar as metaphysics becomes critical. In developing this insight, Kant also brings out the underlying unity of two methodological approaches now often taken to be at odds: his articulated unity of the apperceptive-receptive faculty of cognition, in which all thought and all metaphysics are rooted, is at once systematic and diagnostic. From this idea of articulated unity, we can gain a vision of philosophical thinking about finitude, reason, pure concepts, transcendental idealism, the limits of intelligibility, divine transcendence, and the human standpoint. The book develops this conception of philosophy by way of engaging with Kant scholarship, analytic metaphysics and metaphilosophy, Wittgensteinianism, and neo-Hegelianism.

Stimmen zu »Artikulierte Einheit«

"Ein bedeutender Beitrag zur Kantforschung und darüber hinaus." (Andrew Stephenson, Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München); "Ein großes Lesevergnügen." (Dina Emundts, Freie Universität Berlin); "The merit of Pier's book is to offer an account of the articulated unity of objective thought from the only non-dogmatic position from which philosophical thinking can begin: itself." (G. Anthony Bruno, Royal Holloway, University of London); "Pier gives a compelling interpretation of Kant's philosophy as simply the explicit articulation of all that is implicitly contained in the idea of a capacity for self-conscious cognition. The result is a transformation of our understanding of the limits of metaphysics." (Karl Schafer, University of Texas at Austin)
