On the other hands, modernity's high ideal of universal scientific and moral progress turned out to be illusory and ill-conceived.  Cicovacki focuses on Kant's important observations about the limitations of the modernist project and develops an interactive conception of truth from it. Truth, the author says, presupposes a dominance of neither subject nor object, but their dynamic and reciprocal interactive relation. The absence of proper interactions leads to various forms of self-projections or illusions.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55169433665910,"sku":"9780742513761","price":57.32,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/7504\/8033\/files\/orig_27195610.jpg?v=1737391970","url":"https:\/\/www.rarewaves.com\/products\/9780742513761-between-truth-and-illusion-kant-at-the-crossroads-of-modernity","provider":"Rarewaves.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
