This book is the first comprehensive exploration of Kant’s Opus Postumum and its significance within his philosophical work. In recent decades, the text's importance for understanding Kant's philosophy has become increasingly evident. Initially intended to address a minor issue, Kant's reflections expanded to encompass nearly all fundamental problems of his critical philosophy, including the objective validity of categories, the dynamical theory of matter, the nature of space and time, the refutation of idealism, the theory of the self and its agency, the question of living organisms, the doctrine of practical postulates and the concept of God, the unity of theoretical and practical reason, and the essence of transcendental philosophy. Ultimately, Kant believed he could resolve these long-standing issues and integrate them into a coherent philosophical framework. Eckart Förster's insightful study emphasizes that Kant’s conviction merits not only intellectual respect but also serious philosophical consideration. Förster offers detailed analyses of the central problems in Opus Postumum and connects them to Kant’s major published works, revealing unique insights into the continuity and inner dynamics of Kant’s transcendental philosophy as it moves toward its final synthesis.
