The main aim of Robert Hanna’s Kant, Science, and Human Nature is to show that Kant was essentially right about the unknowability and methodological eliminability of a microphysical noumenal world hiding behind the directly perceivable manifestly real macrophysical world, and also about the priority of practical reason over theoretical reason, and that the mainstream analytic tradition from Sellars to Kripke has been mostly wrong about both. In short, we should accept the Kantian theses of empirical realism and the practical foundations of the exact sciences.
The overarching goal of the pair of books, Kant and the Foundations of Analytic Philosophy and Kant, Science, and Human Nature, is meta-philosophical. It is to show that the tacit fundamental project of the 20th and 21st century Analytic tradition lies in its substantively reconnecting with the eighteenth and nineteenth century Kantian tradition that contains its origins, so that the two traditions can jointly become the single project of rational anthropology.
