The </span><span class="a-text-italic" style="font-style:italic;">Kantbuch</span><span>, as Heidegger often called it, is regarded by many as a vital supplement to the unfinished second part of Heidegger’s most influential work, </span><span class="a-text-italic" style="font-style:italic;">Being and Time</span><span>, which was published two years earlier in 1927. </span></p><p style="padding:0px;margin:-4px 0px 14px;color:rgb(15,17,17);font-family:'Amazon Ember', Arial, sans-serif;font-size:14px;background-color:rgb(255,255,255);"><span class="a-text-italic" style="font-style:italic;">Kant and the Problem of Metaphysics </span><span>is seen both as a landmark in the evolution of Heidegger’s own thinking and as a notable contribution to Kantian scholarship, even though Heidegger would later modify his position considerably on some of the questions raised. </span></p><p style="padding:0px;margin:-4px 0px 14px;color:rgb(15,17,17);font-family:'Amazon Ember', Arial, sans-serif;font-size:14px;background-color:rgb(255,255,255);"><span>Its genesis is attributed to an encounter between Heidegger and Ernst Cassirer, the German philosopher trained in the Neo-Kantian Marburg school, a meeting which took place at the second Davos Hochschulkurs, or philosophy conference in Switzerland. The two men discussed and debated Kant’s work in depth and the encounter led to Heidegger adapting his interpretation of Kant’s ideas, focusing principally on the schematism of the categories. </span></p><p style="padding:0px;margin:-4px 0px 14px;color:rgb(15,17,17);font-family:'Amazon Ember', Arial, sans-serif;font-size:14px;background-color:rgb(255,255,255);"><span>While his phenomenological interpretation of the ideas expressed in the </span><span class="a-text-italic" style="font-style:italic;">Critique of Pure Reason </span><span>is at times tendentious and controversial, and did not convince Cassirer, the dialectical interplay the that can be gleaned between these three great minds is fascinating. From his phenomenological existential standpoint Heidegger analyses Kant’s thinking and organises his work into four sections, subdivided into 45 subsections. </span></p><p style="padding:0px;margin:-4px 0px 14px;color:rgb(15,17,17);font-family:'Amazon Ember', Arial, sans-serif;font-size:14px;background-color:rgb(255,255,255);"><span>The first two sections consider the laying of the foundations of metaphysics and how this intellectual undertaking was carried out. The topics under consideration are mind-bendingly varied, and some are notoriously challenging and difficult to grasp. </span></p><p style="padding:0px;margin:-4px 0px 14px;color:rgb(15,17,17);font-family:'Amazon Ember', Arial, sans-serif;font-size:14px;background-color:rgb(255,255,255);"><span>They range from: the foundations of ontology to the elucidation of space and time as pure intuitions; ontological synthesis; the problems of categories and the role of transcendental logic; the transcendence of finite reasoning as the basic purpose of the transcendental deduction; and the importance of image, schema and schema-image, schematism and subsumption. </span></p><p style="padding:0px;margin:-4px 0px 14px;color:rgb(15,17,17);font-family:'Amazon Ember', Arial, sans-serif;font-size:14px;background-color:rgb(255,255,255);"><span>Section three focuses on the transcendental imagination as the formative centre of ontological knowledge and its relation to intuition and reason. It also considers the inherently temporal character of the transcendental imagination and the temporal character of the self. </span></p><p style="padding:0px;margin:-4px 0px 14px;color:rgb(15,17,17);font-family:'Amazon Ember', Arial, sans-serif;font-size:14px;background-color:rgb(255,255,255);"><span>Section four goes on to explore the foundations of metaphysics in philosophical anthropology, the problem of finitude in man and the metaphysics of Dasein as fundamental ontology, its goals and how the idea of fundamental ontology relates to the </span><span class="a-text-italic" style="font-style:italic;">Critique of Pure Reason</span><span>. </span></p><p style="padding:0px;margin:-4px 0px 0px;color:rgb(15,17,17);font-family:'Amazon Ember', Arial, sans-serif;font-size:14px;background-color:rgb(255,255,255);"><span class="a-text-italic" style="font-style:italic;">Kant and the Problem of Metaphysics</span><span> is read with clarity and precision by Martyn Swain for Ukemi Audiobooks.
