| Abstract | "Kant, Hume, and the Interruption of Dogmatic Slumber argues that Hume inspired Kant's Critique of Pure Reason not by challenging empirical knowledge, but by attacking metaphysics and the proofs of the existence of God. It shows that both Kant and Hume were primarily interested not in scepticism about science or ordinary experience but in a question of much greater existential and political importance: whether the belief in God can be based on proof. It thereby helps us see the problem of knowledge in Kant and Hume as champions of the Enlightenment in its struggle with superstition"-- Provided by publisher. |
