Mathematics in Kant's Critical Philosophy
Reflections on Mathematical Practice
By Lisa Shabel
Routledge – 2003 – 190 pages
Series: Studies in Philosophy
This book provides a reading of Kant's theory of the construction of mathematical concepts through a fully contextualised analysis. In this work the author argues that it is only through an understanding of the relevant eighteenth century mathematics textbooks, and the related mathematical practice, that the material and context necessary for a successful interpretation of Kant's philosophy can be provided.
