"Metaphysical Foundations of Natural Science" is a philosophical work by Immanuel Kant that explores the underlying principles of natural science. Kant argues that our understanding of the physical world is shaped by both empirical observations and innate concepts of the mind. He emphasizes the importance of metaphysics in providing a framework for scientific inquiry. In this work, Kant examines the relationship between science and metaphysics, asserting that scientific knowledge is not just about observable phenomena but also involves deeper, abstract principles. He seeks to establish a foundation for natural science that integrates both empirical data and metaphysical reasoning, ultimately influencing future philosophical thought.
