Sažetak
Kant’s Theory of Biology is a collection of papers edited by Ina goy and Eric Watkins, held at the international conference of the same name at Tübingen in December 2010. Presented and published papers resemble the increasing interest of Kantian scholars for the study of Kant’s philosophy of biology. The book is divided in three parts. First part is titled “Kant’s Theory of Biology and Research on Nature in the Seventeenth and Eighteenth Centuries” and includes three papers which are focused on Kant’s views concerning biology before 1790, and thus gives a necessary context and background for his later thought developed in the third Critique. Part two, “Kant’s Theory of Biology – Commentaries on the ‘Critique of the Teleological Power of Judgement’ and Other Writings” is the heart of the volume in quantitative and qualitative sense: it contains ten papers and all of them are concerned with a different points concerning Kant’s teleology, necessary for understanding the central concept in biology – organism. Third part is titled “Kant’s Theory of Biology in the Present Time” and brings two papers. Both of them explore the relevance of Kant’s theory for contemporary biology and philosophy of biology. A book is an irreplaceable literature for anyone dealing with Kant’s philosophy of biology in particular or his philosophy of science in general. Moreover, as a compendium of papers written by first class Kantian scholars which deals with one of the most important and in the same time the most neglected part of Kantian opus, this book is a must read and must have book for every Kantian scholar. This is because teleology as such is a “cornerstone” of Kantian project and gives a final key for understanding of his entire opus.
