{"product_id":"kant-and-teleology-9781108438551","title":"Kant and Teleology","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\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Thomas Teufel\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cambridge University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/08\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSeries:\u003c\/b\u003e Elements in the Philosophy of Immanuel Kant\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 82\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.27lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.17d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781108438551","brand":"Cambridge University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44259440132233,"sku":"9781108438551","price":23.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0636\/9240\/6921\/files\/img_f7c17c79-7070-4ebd-bb07-a2a63d1965b4.jpg?v=1749543932","url":"https:\/\/sonsanddaughtersbooks.com\/products\/kant-and-teleology-9781108438551","provider":"Sons and Daughters Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
