Konstantin Pollok

Phillipps-Universität, Marburg
Institut für Philosophie

Konstantin Pollok is Assistant Professor of Philosophy at Philipps-University at Marburg (Germany). He is the author of Kants “Metaphysische Anfangsgründe der Naturwissenschaft“. Ein Kritischer Kommentar (Hamburg: Meiner, 2001). He has published critical editions of Kant’s Metaphysical Foundations of Natural Science (Hamburg: Meiner, 1997) and of Kant’s Prolegomena (Hamburg: Meiner, 2001). His current research interests include, in addition to Kant’s philosophy of physical nature and the history of science, normative aspects of Kant’s epistemology in general, and in relation to Kant’s ethics and aesthetics.

Project Summary

Pollok's current book project, Perceptions Meet Concepts: Immanuel Kant’s Philosophy of Nature and the History of Science, is located at the intersection of epistemology, philosophy of science and history of science. He explores the dynamic interaction between Kant’s so-called ‘Copernican revolution’ in theoretical philosophy and the evolution of chemistry out of the prevailing mechanics that has been largely underestimated in its importance.
