Description
Kōjin Karatani's Philosophy of Architecture by Nadir Lahiji explores the theoretical-philosophical project of Kōjin Karatani and its connection to Kant's critical philosophy. In this book, Karatani introduces a new definition of philosophy, one that centres on foundation as the Will to Architecture. This approach challenges traditional Western thought, which has struggled to build a stable system of knowledge. Lahiji delves into the implications of this idea, making it accessible to both philosophical and architectural audiences. This is the first book to examine Kōjin Karatani's significant ideas on architecture, providing valuable insights for those interested in understanding the intersection of philosophy and built environment.
