Kant's Treatment of Causality

While the number of general commentaries on Kant is legion, I know of no English book devoted to expounding his thought on a single category abstracted from the rest. Causality, as the chief of the categories and the centre of one of the main philosophical controversies of the period, seems especially to invite the attempt. The subject is, ina sense, a very specialized one, but Kant's treatment of cuasality is essential to one, at any rate, of the chief sides of his thought, and appears to me to convey a very valuable message that has often been lost sight of in recent philosophy. It would surely be of great philosophical importance if a real proof of the principle of cuasality could be given, and , while Kant's statement of his proof is too much bound up with other parts of his particular system of philosophy to have given general satisfaction, it seems to me that it may be re-stated in a form in which it can stand by itself and make a good claim for acceptance on all schools of thought. And the close connection of "Causality" with many other fundamental problems must be obvious to the reader. --- excerpt from book's Preface
