The Philosophy of the Young Kant: The Precritical Project

---

THIS BOOK IS about the young Kant. It is an investigation of the first two decades of his philosophical life, from the Thoughts on the True Estimation of Living Forces (1746/7) to the Dreams of a Spirit-Seer (1766). I examine the rise and fall of the ‘‘precritical’’ theories and place them in their historical and topical context—exploring how Kant resolved problems his predecessors and contemporaries were wrestling with, how his proposals for settling the issues compared to theirs, and in particular, how his inquiries cohered in what could be called the ‘‘precritical project.’’ This project was the expression of Kant’s desire to create a systematic philosophy of nature. He wanted to harmonize scientific and metaphysical perspectives such that the paradigm of explaining nature, Newtonian physics, could be reconciled with the deepest metaphysical convictions. These convictions were the presence of purpose, the possibility of moral freedom, and the existence of a divine being. The quest for such a reconciliation was the driving force behind the early Kant.
