Transcendental Doctrine of Method

Abstract:

In recent years, there has been a surge of new studies on different aspects of the Transcendental Doctrine of Method (TDM) that show both its importance to our understanding of Kant’s philosophy and its relevance to current philosophical concerns. This chapter will briefly discuss how Kant conceives of the tasks of both the TDM as a whole and its individual chapters with particular focus on a cluster of issues that have recently become the focus of intensive scholarly debate: Kant’s account of reason, his concept of architectonic unity, and his account of belief.
