Transcendental Philosophy

The list author says:
	"The father of modern philosophy. Philosophy begins in doubt. Descartes shows from a first-person perspective how we doubt belief in an external world. 'I think therefore I am' is all I can be sure of."

The list author says:
	"The classic work of transcendental philosophy. Logical demonstration that we live in the phenomenal world, whilst noumenon (things-in-themselves) remains beyond reason."

The list author says:
	"Introduces Kant's complex ideas in a concise format. Excellent overview of Kant's central method of transcendental deduction."

The list author says:
	"Modern analysis of subjectivity and objectivity. Neither viewpoint are reducible to the other. Both have a necessary place for us to live and understand the world."

The list author says:
	"Ancient Chinese work describing the Tao: the hidden source of the phenomenal world. Provides guidance for living naturally with Tao. Red Pine's translation also includes useful commentary."

The list author says:
	"Very clear commentary on the meaning of Tao and Taoist practice."

The list author says:
	"Schopenhauer took Kant's method, simplified it and saw the connection with Eastern philosophy. I am not totally convinced by his argumentation, eg his criticisms of Kant, but this book is insightful."

The list author says:
	"Berkeley's classic work refuting materialism. Even today it's difficult to argue against Berkeley's position. Dancy's commentary in this version are very useful."

The list author says:
	"I add this because of its logical criticism of induction. If a valid model of the world is to be constructed from a transcendental foundation, some form of induction is needed, however."

The list author says:
	"Wittgenstein followed Kant and Schopenhauer exploring the limits of knowledge. "What can be said at all can be said clearly; and what we cannot talk about we must pass over in silence.""

The list author says:
	"Husserl's classic introduction to transcendental phenomenology, based on the Cartesian method."

The list author says:
	"A curious work of transcendental metaphysics from the northern buddhist perspective. It provides many valuable insights."
