KANT - Apriori basis for physics

Post by Ercello88 »

I have a "take-home" midterm that I have to submit until December 15th for the "Philosophical foundations of physics" course. Here's the question I have to answer:

-Discuss why Kant's project of providing apriori basis for physics failed?

-Also discuss why that project fails in explaining the historicity of knowledge.

I'd appreciate if you happen to know ANY source (websites,books,e-resources.. etc.) that I can find the answers for the above questions.
Or far more better, if you happen to know the answer please don't hesitate to tell me =).

Thanks a lot =) .

It sounds like Quine might be useful for the first question:
