This book highlights Kant's fundamental contrast between the mechanistic and dynamical conceptions of matter, which is central to his views about the foundations of physics, and is best understood in terms of the contrast between objects of sensibility and things in themselves.

Great book,

This review is from: Reality and Impenetrability in Kant's Philosophy of Nature (Studies in Ethics) (Hardcover)
This dissertation covers some very nuanced issues regarding Kant's theoretical philosophy, primarily the issue of realities, which Warren interprets to be causal powers. Very clear exposition, I think for anyone pursuing a more detailed understanding of Kantian metaphysics, this book is a must study.
