`I have read the text and want to congratulate (the translators). The translation of Plaass' book is not only accurate but charming instyle. It could not have been better.
(The) introductory commentary is an excellent exposition of the wholeissue of Kant' s transition from the Critique to the MetaphysicalFoundations . The problem as such needed critical consideration, and(this has been) done in an expert way. ' W. H. Werkmeister
`Published a year before the revised edition of the
Critique of Pure Reason,
Kant' s
Metaphysical Foundations of Natural Science
constitutesthe first instalment of his physics and a central part of the systemof transcendental philosophy ensuing, as promised, from the
Critique.
Yet far too little attention has been paid by Kant scholars, especially on this side of the Atlantic, to this crucial work. Intheir study, Kant' s
Theory of Natural Science,
Drs. Alfred and MariaMiller take a major step towards remedying this unfortunate neglect. The Millers have performed an important service by translating PeterPlaass' s thoughtful investigation of the Preface to Kant' s work. Theyhave, however, in their own right also made a highly significantcontribution to the understanding of Kant' s physics in this pivotalwork by ingeniously reconstructing its arguments and methods as awhole.
