{"product_id":"kantian-humility-our-ignorance-rae-langton-9780199243174","title":"Kantian Humility ' Our Ignorance of Things in Themselves '","description":"In this refreshing and exceptional work, Rae Langton offers a new interpretation and defense of Kant's doctrine of \"things in themselves.\" Kant distinguishes things in themselves from phenomena, thus making a metaphysical distinction between intrinsic and relational properties of substances. Langton argues that his claim that we have no knowledge of things in themselves is not idealism, but epistemic humility; we have no knowledge of the intrinsic properties of substances. This interpretation vindicates Kant's scientific realism and shows his primary\/secondary quality distinction to be superior even to modern day competitors. And it answers the famous charge that Kant's tale of things in themselves is one that makes itself untellable.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Rae Langton\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0199243174\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780199243174\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Clarendon Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/29\/2001\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 246\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.78lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.52d","brand":"Rae Langton","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43914256875775,"sku":"9780199243174","price":61.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_c0aaefb2-b7aa-436b-8aa3-cf04fc4b2dc9.jpg?v=1680641250","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/kantian-humility-our-ignorance-rae-langton-9780199243174","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
