Kant
is generally conceived to have offered little attention to the fact that we
experience the world in and through our bodies. This book argues that this
standard image of the great German philosopher is radically wrong. Not only
does Kant - throughout his career and in works published before and after the
Critique of pure reason - reflect constantly upon the fact that human life is
embodied, but the Critique of pure reason itself may be read as a critical
reflection aimed at exploring some significant philosophical implications of
this fact. Bringing this aspect of Kant's philosophy into focus is important,
not only because it sheds new light on our understanding of Kant's work, but
also because it is relevant to contemporary discussions in philosophy about
embodiment, learning and practice. By taking his philosophy of embodiment
into account, the author makes Kant stand out as a true contemporary in new
and unexpected ways. Fra forlagets
