The Cambridge Companion to Kant and Modern Philosophy


Book Description

The philosophy of Immanuel Kant is the watershed of modern thought, which irrevocably changed the landscape of the field and prepared the way for all the significant philosophical movements of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. This 2006 volume, which complements The Cambridge Companion to Kant, covers every aspect of Kant's philosophy, with a particular focus on his moral and political philosophy. It also provides detailed coverage of Kant's historical context and of the enormous impact and influence that his work has had on the subsequent history of philosophy. The bibliography also offers extensive and organized coverage of both classical and recent books on Kant. This volume thus provides the broadest and deepest introduction currently available on Kant and his place in modern philosophy, making accessible the philosophical enterprise of Kant to those coming to his work for the first time.




Aesthetics and Cognition in Kant's Critical Philosophy


Book Description

This volume explores the relationship between Kant's aesthetic theory and his critical epistemology as articulated in the Critique of Pure Reason and the Critique of the Power of Judgment. The essays, written specially for this volume, explore core elements of Kant's epistemology, such as his notions of discursive understanding, experience, and objective judgment. They also demonstrate a rich grasp of Kant's critical epistemology that enables a deeper understanding of his aesthetics. Collectively, the essays reveal that Kant's critical project, and the dialectics of aesthetics and cognition within it, is still relevant to contemporary debates in epistemology, philosophy of mind, and the nature of experience and objectivity. The book also yields important lessons about the ineliminable, yet problematic place of imagination, sensibility and aesthetic experience in perception and cognition.




Interpreting Kant's Critiques


Book Description

Karl Ameriks here collects his most important essays to provide a uniquely detailed and up-to-date analysis of Kant's main arguments in all three major areas of his work: theoretical philosophy (Critique of Pure Reason), practical philosophy (Critique of Practical Reason), and aesthetics (Critique of Judgment). Guiding the volume is Ameriks's belief that one cannot properly understand any one of these Critiques except in the context of the other two. The essays can be read individually, but read together they offer a comprehensive guide to the main themes of the most influential of all modern philosophical systems.




Hegel's Critique of Kant


Book Description

Sally Sedgwick presents a fresh account of Hegel's critique of Kant's theoretical philosophy. She argues that Hegel offers a compelling critique of and alternative to the conception of cognition that Kant defended in his 'Critical' period, and explores Hegel's claim to derive from Kantian doctrines clues to a superior form of idealism.




The Usefulness of the Kantian Philosophy


Book Description

Editorial Advisory Board: Karl Ameriks (Notre Dame, USA), Daniel Breazeale (Kentucky, USA), Martin Bondeli (Bern, Switzerland), Claude Pich (Montreal, Canada), George di Giovanni (Montreal, Canada), Faustino Fabbianelli (Parma, Italy), Marion Heinz (Siegen, Germany), Alexander von Sch nborn (Missouri, USA) The series Reinholdiana consists of monographs and collected volumes dealing with the philosophy of Karl Leonhard Reinhold. In recent years Reinhold has become the focus of increasing scholarly attention. On the one hand this is due mainly to the important role he plays in the earliest reception of Immanuel Kant's critical philosophy, but on the other hand it is also the result of the various new editions and translations of his work. The influence that Reinhold had on contemporary understanding of Kant means that his work serves as a bridge between Kant and German idealism. The series deliberately places no emphasis on any particular scholarly method. The intention is to provide rapidly growing international interest in research on Reinhold with a high-profile academic publication platform.




Kant's Early Critics


Book Description

This book, first published in 2000, offers translations of the initial critical reactions to Kant's philosophy.




Freedom and Religion in Kant and his Immediate Successors


Book Description

The theologians of the late German Enlightenment saw in Kant's Critique of Pure Reason a new rational defence of their Christian faith. In fact, Kant's critical theory of meaning and moral law totally subverted the spirit of that faith. This challenging new study examines the contribution made by the Critique of Pure Reason to this change of meaning. George di Giovanni stresses the revolutionary character of Kant's critical thought but also reveals how this thought was being held hostage to unwarranted metaphysical assumptions that caused much confusion and rendered the First Critique vulnerable to being reabsorbed into modes of thought typical of Enlightenment popular philosophy. Amongst the striking features of this book are nuanced interpretations of Jacobi and Reinhold, a lucid exposition of Fichte's early thought, and a rare, detailed account of Enlightenment popular philosophy.




Opus Postumum


Book Description

Occupying him for more than the last decade of his life, this volume includes the first English translation of Kant's last major work, the so-called Opus postumum, which he described as his "chef d'oeuvre" and the keystone of his entire philosophical system.
