Kant's Inferentialism: The Case Against Hume (okładka  twarda)

This book examines Kant's Critique of Pure Reason as presenting a sophisticated inferentialist theory of mental representation and places the work in its proper historical and philosophical context as a response to Hume's Treatise of Human Nature. Landy argues that Hume's theory of mental representation is far more radical than previously taken to believe, and in this way serves as the strongest possible foil to Kant. By engaging in the dialectic between Kant and Hume, this book enriches our understanding of two of philosophy's most influential thinkers and brings to bear Kant's insights on contemporary debates in philosophy of mind. Kant's Inferentialism is a philosophically original foray into an extremely active area of contemporary debate that will be of interest to scholars working on Kant, mental representation, and modern philosophy.
