Description
Salomon Maimon's Essay on Transcendental Philosophy presents a groundbreaking work in the philosophy of difference. First published in Berlin in 1790, this book builds upon Immanuel Kant's Critique of Pure Reason and establishes a new foundation for transcendental philosophy. A significant influence on post-Kantian German Idealism, Maimon's Essay has also been cited by philosophers such as Gilles Deleuze. This long-overdue English translation brings Maimon's brilliant analysis and criticism of Kant's philosophy to a wider audience. The book includes an introduction, glossary, translators' notes, bibliography, index, translations of correspondence between Maimon and Kant, and a letter clarifying the essay's philosophical position. This comprehensive edition provides valuable insight into the context and ideas presented in the Essay on Transcendental Philosophy.
