About the Authors
  • Kant's monumental book the Critique of Pure Reason was arguably the most conceptually revolutionary work in the history of philosophy and its impact continues to be felt throughout philosophical debates today. However, it is a notoriously difficult work whose basic meaning and lasting philosophical significance are both subject to ongoing controversy. In this Critical Guide, an international team of leading Kant scholars addresses the challenges, clarifying Kant's basic terms and arguments, and engaging with the debates that surround this central text. Providing compact explanations along with cutting-edge interpretations of nearly all of the main themes and arguments in Kant's Critique, this volume provides well-balanced arguments on such controversial topics as the interpretation of Kant's transcendental idealism, conceptualism and non-conceptual content in perception, and the soundness of his transcendental arguments. This volume will engage readers of Kant at all levels.

    • Offers incisive analysis of one of history's most influential philosophical texts
    • The book's clear structure guides readers through Kant's argument, making this notoriously challenging work accessible to students as well as researchers
    • Situates Kant's masterpiece within the context of the controversies that have surrounded it throughout the centuries, and addresses recent scholarly and philosophical debates

    Reviews & endorsements

    'The individual essays of this volume are of high quality and fit together well, even when - or perhaps especially when - they defend contradictory positions on a given issue … This will be a book that Kant scholars will want to read.' James Messina, Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews
