 Cohen did not restrict his use of the transcendental method to epistemology and philosophy of science. As Sebastian Luft argues, “the exact sciences are his point of departure, but they are not the only object of critique” (Luft 2015, 58). For Cohen, the transcendental method must be applied to ethics as well. He thus sought to extend its application beyond a treatment of the laws of nature to the laws of human action. He ultimately argued that the result of this application was a Kantian ethical justification for democratic socialism.
