{"product_id":"9781108438551","title":"Kant and Teleology by Thomas Teufel","description":"Kant's mature teleological philosophy in the Critique of the Power of Judgment is predicated on innovations that address a set of unprecedented challenges arising from within critical philosophy. The challenges are (1) a threat of \"transcendental chaos\" between sensibility and understanding, emerging from the structure of critical epistemology; (2) a threat of \"critical chaos\" between determination and reflection, generated by Kant's response to that first threat. The innovations include (a) a transcendental conception of purposiveness, (b) a principle of nature's purposiveness based on that conception, (c) a power of judgment governed by that principle, (d) and so governed in an unusual (self-given and self-governing) way, (e) a view on which nature does make leaps. This Element argues that Kant's mature teleological philosophy - and a fortiori Kant's aesthetics and philosophy of biology - cannot be understood without a fully systematic account of these challenges and innovations, and it presents such an account.\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback \/ softback","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56312129257845,"sku":"9781108438551","price":18.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/products\/9781108438551","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
