Bücher von Jan Hartman

This book is a defence of scepticism, based on a critical analysis of the concept of knowledge. The metaphysics of substance and its modern and contemporary consequences are analyzed, mostly the transcendental tradition. Finally, a sceptical approach is proposed, leading to an a-ethical concept of the will and the values of life.

The book examines metaphilosophical issues and contemporary philosophy, in particular such movements as hermeneutics, pragmatism, structuralism and deconstructionism. The author calls the new project of philosophical and metaphilosophical investigations which his work aims to present "philosophical heuristics".
