The structures of knowledge, taken for granted since Kant�s Critique of Pure Reason, are now being called into question: the finitude of the subject, the phenomenal given, a priori synthesis. Relinquish the transcendental: such is the imperative of postcritical thinking in the 21st century.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Questions that we no longer thought it possible to ask now reemerge with renewed vigor: can Kant really maintain the difference between a priori and innate? Can he deduce, rather than impose, the categories, or justify the necessity of nature? Recent research into brain development aggravates these suspicions, which measure transcendental idealism against the thesis of a biological origin for cognitive processes.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e In her important new book Catherine Malabou lays out Kant�s response to his posterity. True to its subject, the book evolves as an epigenesis – the differentiated growth of the embryo – for, as those who know how to read critical philosophy affirm, this is the very life of the transcendental and contains the promise of its transformation.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003eTranslator's Preface: Epigenesis of Her Texts\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eForeword\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIntroduction\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 1: Paragraph 27 of the Critique of Pure Reason\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 2: Caught Between Skeptical Readings\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 3: The Difference Between Genesis and Epigenesis\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 4: Kant's \"Minimal Preformationism\"\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 5: Germs, Races, Seeds\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 6: The \"Neo-Skeptical\" Thesis and its Evolution\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 7: From Epigenesis to Epigenetics\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 8: From Code to Book\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 9: Irreducible Foucault\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 10: Time in Question\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 11: No Agreement\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 12: The Dead-End\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 13: Towards an Epigenetic Paradigm of Rationality\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 14: Can We Relinquish the Transcendental?\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eConclusion\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eNotes\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eBibliography\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSubject Areas: Philosophy [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Philosophy\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Philosophy%20%5BHP%5D%22\"\u003eHP\u003c\/a\u003e]\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Polity","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52407341842712,"sku":"9780745691503","price":45.76,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/files\/9780745691503.jpg?v=1784163579","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/before-tomorrow-epigenesis-and-rationality-hardback-9780745691503","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
