Immanuel Kant
The commentary offered in this edition of The Critique of Pure Reason provides a close textual reading of the key terms, theses, and lines of argumentation in Kant’s principal work based on current scholarship. It is the first commentary on the Critique to consider the entire text, without gaps, in both its first and second editions. Now in its second edition, this work is recognized as an indispensible resource on Kant.

Fanning the flames
Minoru Genda, air operations officer for Japan's attack on Pearl Harbor, once noted that the battle of Midway marked the turning point of the war in the Pacific. He called it a ‘great US victory’ made possible not only by the aircraft carriers that were missing in Japan's attack on Pearl Harbor on 7 December 1941, ‘but by American breaking of the Japanese code’. The Japanese had long been convinced that no one could break their formidable JN25 na…

Sinews of war and trade
Money and war constitute the central theme of this book, as signified by its title—a reference to Cicero's Fifth Philippic, written in 43 Bc. Nervos belli, pecuniam infinitam', or ‘the sinews of war [are] unlimited money’. It is a promising theme, made all the more interesting by the book's subtitle. Unfortunately, Laleh Khalili does not give us much insight into the processes of capitalism, shipping or war in the Arabian Peninsula, repeatedly le…
Contextual culpability
The controversial effect of intoxication on sentencing outcomes has received renewed attention with a series of new empirical studies. However, these studies have relied on survey data that conflate alcohol and drug intoxication and miss pertinent contextual features of the offence. This article explores how alcohol intoxication, and its social context, impact sentence outcomes for violent offences. To do so, the probability of custodial sentence…

Vietnam
When the Second World War ended, France easily could have left Vietnam, a departure that would have given independence to a country it had formally colonized in the late 1880s. ‘Instead’, as Max Hastings so memorably puts it, ‘the French chose to draft a long suicide note, declaring their ironclad opposition to independence’ (p. 6). That ‘colonial intransigence’, Hastings says, conceded to Ho Chi Minh, Vietnam's emerging guerrilla leader, ‘the mo…
River of life, river of death
Victor Mallet is an outspoken journalist. As a foreign correspondent, he raised official eyebrows in Hong Kong in 2018 after backing a talk by Andy Chan, a pro-independence political activist and founding member of the Hong Kong National Party. Soon after, Mallet found his work visa would not be renewed. That was a heavy price to pay for his service to democracy. Mallet's actions and his punishment were a prelude to the government's heavy-handed …

Juvenile convicts and their colonial familial lives
Convicts were transported from Britain to Van Diemen’s Land from 1803 until 1853. Approximately 10 000–13 000 juveniles were among the 148 000 convicts transported. This article has traced the lives of female and male juvenile convicts transported, who were sentenced at the Old Bailey (the Central Criminal Court in London), and voyaged to Van Diemen’s Land. By exploring individual lives, and contextualising their experiences, it is possible to go…
Singapore in a post-Kyoto world
Singapore's state-owned Pavilion Energy and France's Total S. A. recently signed an agreement to develop a liquefied natural gas (LNG) bunker supply chain in the Port of Singapore. In June 2018, the two firms agreed to cooperate on the supply and delivery of LNG as a fuel for ships in the port. In support of that effort, the two firms will also share the long-term charter of a new generation LNG bunker vessel to be commissioned by Pavilion Energy…
Beyond the Arab Cold War
With the single word ‘beyond’, Asher Orkaby skilfully signals his intention in the title of this history of the Yemeni civil war fought between 1962 and 1968. The phrase it qualifies, ‘the Arab Cold War’, refers to a book of the same title by Malcolm H. Kerr, published by Chatham House in 1965—a title that has come to represent the era of conflict in the Arab world from the rise of Egypt's President Gamal Abdel Nasser in 1952 to his death in 1970…
Givenness and Cognition
We are grateful to Stefanie Grüne and Andrew Chignell for their thoughtful commentaries on our paper. Both focus their remarks on the issue of 'givenness,' which could seem like a relatively narrow topic within the much broader subject matter of cognition that we have attempted to describe in our paper. However, we think that givenness, properly understood, plays an important role in Kant's account of cognition, since it is central to both of the…
Kant’s Account of Cognition
In this paper, we offer an overview of the basic structure of Kant's account of cognition, of the conditions on the notion of cognition most central to the first Critique, and how they are satisfied in the case of human beings. Our primary aim in this regard is to provide a comprehensive (albeit not exhaustive) framework for understanding Kant's account of (theoretical) cognition. In the course of doing so, we argue for various interpretative cla…
Kant on materialism
In this paper I argue that Kant’s complex argument against materialism involves not only his generic commitment to the existence of non-spatio-temporal and thus non-material things in themselves (which follows directly from Transcendental Idealism), but also considerations pertaining to reason and the subject of our thoughts. Specifically, I argue that because Kant conceives of reason in such a way that it demands a commitment to the existence of…
The Unconditioned and the Absolute in Kant and Early German Romanticism
This paper argues not only that Schelling, Novalis, and Friedrich Schlegel are reacting directly to Kant (rather than simply to each other and to other post-Kantian figures), but also that they are responding in complex ways to one particularly prominent and distinctive line of thought in Kant, namely his account of reason, conditions, and the unconditioned. Though Kant argues that we cannot have cognition of unconditioned objects, he none the le…
What is, for Kant, a Law of Nature
In this paper I explore Kant’s understanding of a law of nature. I begin by reviewing Kant’s explicit statements about what a law is in general before describing an important challenge to the very idea of a law of nature that emerges from the conjunction of the natural law tradition and laws of nature in the early modern period. I then articulate how Kant can respond to that challenge by noting how he can draw on a univocal concept of law involvi…
The Development of Physical Influx in Early Eighteenth-Century Germany
Standard histories of modern philosophy(1) tend to view causality in the following way: After Descartes distinguishes between the mind and the body as two radically different kinds of substance, it becomes problematic as to how such substances could act on each other. Thus, Malebranche develops Occasionalism, which solves the problem by denying that any finite substance has any causal efficacy whatsoever, and Leibniz, dissatisfied with what he se…

Kant and the Sciences
Kant’s contributions to the central problems of philosophy — metaphysics, epistemology, ethics, and aesthetics — have received considerable attention. What is far less studied is his interest in the sciences. This book reveals the deep unity of Kant’s conception of science as it bears on the particular sciences of his day (such as physics, chemistry, anthropology, history, psychology, and biology), and on his conception of philosophy’s function w…

Kant and the Myth of the Given
Sellars and McDowell, among others, attribute a prominent role to the Myth of the Given. In this paper, I suggest that they have in mind two different versions of the Myth of the Given and I argue that Kant is not the target of one version and, though explicitly under attack from the other, has resources sufficient to mount a satisfactory response. What is essential to this response is a proper understanding of (empirical) concepts as involving u…

Kant's Model of Causality
This paper argues that Kant's model of causality cannot consist in one temporally determinate event causing another, as Hume had thought, since such a model is inconsistent with mutual interaction, to which Kant is committed in the Third Analogy. Rather causality occurs when one substance actively exercises its causal powers according to the unchanging grounds that constitute its nature so as to determine a change of state of another substance. B…

Immanuel Kant
The historical and systematic importance of Kant’s philosophy can hardly be exaggerated. The revolutionary contribution it made to earlier modern philosophy, the influence it had on the subsequent course of philosophical thought, and the significance it has for an understanding of our current situation are unparalleled. Given its importance, it is not surprising that scholarship on Kant’s philosophy has also been extremely rich, with attention be…

Lodge Farm, Kingston Lacy Estate, Dorset
Lodge Farm is a stone first-floor hall house of the early fifteenth century built for Henry V or VI. Documentary sources suggest that it was the residence of the head park keeper, warrener and forester of Kingston Lacy manor.Refurbishment of the building in 1986–9 was accompanied by a full archaeological and photographic survey. Archaeological excavation, in advance of underpinning, revealed archaeological features below the foundations. Ditches …

Kant on Rational Cosmology
This paper discusses Kant’s acceptance of four principles of rational cosmology: the principles of no fate, no chance, no leap (or continuity), and no gap. It argues that these principles are neither purely analytic nor identical to the epistemological principles of the first Critique. Rather, they represent genuine, distinctively ontological principles that underlie the principles of empirical cosmology, which would be discovered empirically. Th…

Kant and the Metaphysics of Causality
This is a book about Kant's views on causality as understood in their proper historical context. Specifically, Eric Watkins argues that a grasp of Leibnizian and anti-Leibnizian thought in eighteenth-century Germany helps one to see how the critical Kant argued for causal principles that have both metaphysical and epistemological elements. On this reading Kant's model of causality does not consist of events, but rather of substances endowed with …

Kant on the Hiddenness of God
Kant's sustained reflections on God have received considerable scholarly attention over the years and rightly so. His provocative criticisms of the three traditional theoretical proofs of the existence of God, and his own positive proof for belief in God's existence on moral grounds, have fully deserved the clarification and analysis that has occurred in these discussions. What I want to focus on, however, is the extent to which Kant's position c…

The Divine Order, the Human Order, and the Order of Nature
This volume focuses on the exploration and articulation of a narrative that considers the notion of order within modern philosophy—its various kinds (natural, moral,divine, and human), the different ways in which each is conceived, and the diverse dependency relations that are thought to obtain among them. Descartes, with the help of others, brought about an important shift in what was understood by the order of nature, by placing laws of nature …
