Kant and the Foundations of Analytic Philosophy

Robert Hanna presents a fresh view of the Kantian and analytic traditions that have dominated continental European and Anglo-American philosophy over the last two centuries and of the connections between them. But this is not just a study in the history of philosophy for out of this emerges Hanna''s original approach to two much-contested theories that remain at the heart of contemporary philosophy. Hanna puts forward a new ''cognitive-semantic'' interpretation of transcendental idealism and a vigorous defense of Kant''s theory of analytic and synthetic necessary truth making this compelling reading for all who are interested in these fundamental philosophical issues.
