Description: "Drawing on resources from both the Analytical and Continental traditions, Fiona Hughes argues that a comprehension of Kant's aesthetics is necessary for grasping the scope and force of his epistemology." "She draws on phenomenological and aesthetic resources to bring out the continuing relevance of Kant's project. One of the difficulties faced in reading The Critique of Pure Reason is finding a way of reading the text as one continuous discussion. This book offers a reading at each stage of Kant's epistemological argument, showing how various elements of Kant's argument, often thought of as extraneous or indefensible, can be integrated."--Publisher description.
