This book presents some of the results of a long term study of<br />

the Critical Philosophy of Kant in its relation to the new sciences<br />

that arose in the 17th and 18th centuries. Over the years my work<br />

has been helped along the way by a number of colleagues and<br />

friends at the universities of Berlin and Tel Aviv, especially Dorothea<br />

Brandenburg, Margherita von Brentano, Gideon Freudenthal,<br />

Wolfgang Lefèvre, and Hans Jörg Rheinberger. My research on<br />

Kant and the history of modern science has received the support of<br />

the Heinrich Heine Foundation (Freiburg), the Edelstein Center for<br />

History and Philosophy of Science (Jerusalem) and the Van Leer<br />

Institute (Jerusalem). A stay at the Wissenschaftskolleg zu Berlin<br />

allowed me to complete most of the work on the English edition.<br />

Finally, the technical facilities of the Center for Philosophy and<br />

Philosophy of Science at the University of Constance enabled the<br />

production of the camera ready copy.<br />

A German language version of the book was published in<br />

May, 1989 by Bouvier Verlag (Bonn).
