In The Skeptical Roots of Critique, Abraham Anderson shows that Kant's Critique of Pure Reason is the heir to Hume's skepticism about metaphysics. In showing that Kant's Antinomy flows from Hume's skepticism, this work connects Kant with the skeptical tradition reaching back to the ancients. Like Hume's Enquiry and Dialogues and Rousseau's Émile, the Critique is part of the battle for Enlightenment, the struggle against the 'despotic' reign of theological dogmatism. The victory of philosophy has led us to forget there ever was such a battle; Anderson aims to bring it to life by exploring the growth of the Critique.
