Kant’s Challenge

Welcome to a new blog dealing with Kant. This venture will focus in particular on Kant and the philosophy of history, in relation to the study of Kant’s essay on history and its analysis in World History And The Eonic Effect.

The question of history and evolution as addressed by the study of the ‘eonic effect’ illuminates many of the issues latent in Kant’s famous essay. However, our treatment will almost be more Kantian than Kant and highlights the phenomenal/noumenal contrast in the study of historical dynamics, in the process providing a critique of Kant’s idea of ‘asocial sociability’.
