Short description/annotation
A new translation of Kant's mature reflections on issues in the philosophy of natural science.

Main description
Kant was centrally concerned with issues in the philosophy of natural science throughout his career. The Metaphysical Foundations of Natural Science presents his most mature reflections on these themes in the context of both his 'critical' philosophy, presented in the Critique of Pure Reason, and the natural science of his time. This volume presents a new translation, by Michael Friedman, which is especially clear and accurate. There are explanatory notes indicating some of the main connections between the argument of the Metaphysical Foundations and the first Critique - as well as parallel connections to Newton's Principia. The volume is completed by an historical and philosophical introduction and a guide to further reading.

Table of contents:
Preface; 1. Metaphysical foundations of phoronomy; 2. Metaphysical foundations of dynamics; 3. Metaphysical foundations of mechanics; 4. Metaphysical foundations of phenomenology.
