Features: This book collects 13 representative works published by the renowned American philosopher Merold Westphal from 1966 to 2001, showcasing the author's Kantian views in epistemology. Through dialogues with atheistic philosophers such as Marx, Nietzsche, and Freud from the 19th century, as well as with 20th-century European continental philosophers like Heidegger, Gadamer, and Derrida, the author reveals the rich connotations of the transcendental conditions of human cognition. At the same time, the author powerfully argues the internal logic of secular philosophy and its compatibility with theistic thought. From the perspective of the history of philosophy, it presents readers with a systematic overview of the development of European continental philosophy since Kant.
