At a time when metaphysics is making a comeback to the central philosophical scene, this book is certainly a significant contribution. Conceived primarily as a method in philosophy, critical ontology is incisive in presenting philosophy in general and ontology in particular as critical search for being-principles. Critical ontology approves the Kantian critique of knowledge, without endorsing its agnosticism of metaphysics. It applies a new critical and ontological perspective to the analysis of all major issues in philosophy. Critical ontology will play an important role in the way we do philosophy in the twenty-first century.

Contents of the Book:

1. The Nature and Task of Philosophy
2. The Nature and Task of Critical Ontology
3. Being, the World and the Human Being
