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.

Kant's Conception of Freedom
Although a good deal has been written about Kant's conception of free will in recent years, there has been no serious attempt to examine in detail the development of his views on the topic. This book endeavours to remedy the situation by tracing Kant's thoughts on free will from his earliest discussions of it in the 1750s through to his last accounts in the 1790s. This developmental approach is of interest for at least two reasons. First, it show…
Kant's Transcendental Deduction
Henry E. Allison presents an analytical and historical account of Kant's transcendental deduction of the pure concepts of the understanding in the 'Critique of Pure Reason'. He traces the line of thought that led Kant to a recognition of the need for transcendental deduction, and defends Kant's 'non-contingency thesis' and 'non-separability thesis
Hume and the Molyneux Problem
How would Hume have addressed William Molyneux’s question to Locke: would a man born blind but able to distinguish between a sphere and cube by touch, immediately on acquiring sight, distinguish these figures visually? As a central issue in eighteenth-century epistemology and psychology, one would expect Hume to have dealt with it in his Treatise and, like Locke and Berkeley, answered in the negative. After offering a possible reason for Hume’s n…
Essays on Kant
This volume contains a collection of seventeen essays which have been previously published on Kant and an addendum to one of these essays that is here published for the first time. Although these essays cover virtually the full spectrum of the author's work on Kant, ranging from his epistemology, metaphysics, and moral theory to his views on teleology, political philosophy, the philosophy of history, and the philosophy of religion, most of them r…
Kant's Groundwork for the Metaphysics of Morals
This book is a comprehensive commentary on Kant's Groundwork for the Metaphysics of Morals (1785). It differs from most recent commentaries in paying special attention to the structure of the work, the historical context in which it was written, and the views to which Kant was responding. It argues that, despite its relative brevity, the Groundwork is the single most important work in modern moral philosophy and that its significance lies mainly …
On a discovery whereby any new critique of pure reason is to be made superfluous by an older one (1790)
Kant's short treatise, Über eine Entdeckung, nach der alle neue Kritik der reinen Vernunft durch eine ältere entbehrlich gemacht werden soll (On a Discovery whereby Any New Critique of Pure Reason Is to Be Made Superfluous by an Older One, henceforth to be referred to as On a Discovery) appeared in April, 1790, simultaneously with the Critique of Judgment, to which it alludes in its closing pages. It is a polemical piece, containing Kant's respon…
Prolegomena to any future metaphysics that will be able to come forward as science (1783)
The Prolegomena to Any Future Metaphysics is the preeminent synopsis in the history of philosophy. Kant completed it about fifteen months after the Critique of Pure Reason was published. He wanted to present his critical philosophy concisely and accessibly, for "future teachers" of metaphysics. He also wanted to convince his fellow metaphysicians "that it is unavoidably necessary to suspend their work for the present," until they have determined …
Metaphysical foundations of natural science (1786)
The Metaphysische Anfangsgründe der Naturwissenschaft (hereinafter: Metaphysical Foundations) first appeared in 1786 (with second and third printings in 1787 and 1800 respectively). This work thus belongs to the most creative decade of Kant's so-called critical period: the decade of the first edition of the Critique of Pure Reason (1781), the Prolegomena (1783), the Groundwork of the Metaphysics of Morals (1785), the second edition of the Critiqu…
What real progress has metaphysics made in Germany since the time of Leibniz and Wolff? (1793/1804)
Welches sind die wirklichen Fortschritte, die die Metaphysik seit Leibnitzens und Wolf's Zeiten in Deutschland gemacht hat? (What Real Progress Has Metaphysics Made in Germany since the Time of Leibniz and Wolff?, henceforth to be referred to as Progress) constitutes Kant's projected, but never submitted or even completed, contribution to the prize essay contest on that topic announced by the Académie Royal des Sciences et des Belles-Lettres in B…
Hume on Skepticism Regarding the Senses
Hume's Philosophical Insouciance
This chapter analyzes Hume's justification for continuing his project of constructing a science of human nature (writing the last two books of the Treatise) in the concluding section of Book One, in spite of what he has learned about the unreliability of his cognitive faculties. It is divided into four parts. The first sketches Hume's doubts concerning these faculties, which led him to despair of his project. The second examines Hume's overcoming…
‘Whatever Begins to Exist Must Have a Cause of Existence’
This chapter analyzes Hume's treatment of the principle that every beginning of existence (event) has a cause and Kant's response. It notes that Hume does not challenge the principle itself, but merely its claim to have a more than empirical grounding. It argues that assuming his theory of ideas, Hume's argument is successful and that the attempt by G. E. M. Anscombe to refute it by rehabilitating an argument of Hobbes fails. It further notes tha…
Hume's Theory of Space and Time
This chapter analyzes Hume's conception of space and time as orders or ‘manners of appearing’. It also discusses the deep tension between this view and the Copy Principle, and compares it with Kant's conception of space and time as ‘forms of appearances’. Although the best known and oft criticized feature of Hume's account is his claim that space and time are not infinitely divisible, with extension being composed of an aggregate of perceptual mi…
Hume's Therapeutic Natural History of Philosophy Compared with Kant's Philosophical Therapy
This chapter deals with what is termed Hume's ‘natural history of philosophy’, as contained in the two brief sections on the ancient and the modern philosophies. It also contains a comparison of the therapeutic function of philosophical critique, which Hume assumes in these sections, with Kant's account of the therapeutic function of a critique of pure reason in the Transcendental Dialectic of the first Critique. The chapter is divided into three…
Hume's Paralogisms
Causation, Necessary Connection, and Power
This chapter analyzes Hume'theory of causation and its connection with the associated notions of necessary connection and power. It is divided into five parts. The first two deal respectively with the negative and positive phases of Hume's account. The former is the critique of the objectivist view, according to which necessary connection is a relation that holds between things independently of their relation to the human mind. The latter is Hume…
Hume on Skepticism Regarding Reason
This chapter is concerned with Hume's sceptical argument against reason and is divided into three parts. The first two deal respectively with the two steps of Hume's sceptical argument. The first of these, which concerns demonstrative reasoning, maintains that because all such reasoning involves an inferential or calculative process by fallible human reasoners, the results, no matter how well confirmed, can never be known with absolute certainty.…
Hume's Analysis of Inductive Inference
This chapter deals with Hume's treatment of particular causal inferences, which is usually referred to as the problem of induction. It is argued that the central question that Hume poses, namely, whether such inference is to be understood as a product of reason or custom, is to be viewed as one in cognitive psychology rather than normative epistemology. In light of this, it is further maintained that Hume's conclusion that such inference is a pro…
Simple Conception, Existence, and Belief
This chapter is concerned with the relationship between Hume's treatment of the idea of existence and his conception of belief. It also includes a contrast with Kant on the former point. It is divided into three parts. The first examines Hume's thesis that the ‘simple conception’ of x and the belief in its existence differ only in the ‘manner of conception’ not the content of what is conceived. The second analyzes Hume's claim that this differenc…

Custom and Reason in Hume
The book examines the central tenets of Hume's epistemology and cognitive psychology. It adopts a two level approach. On the one hand, it considers Hume's thought in its own terms and historical context. So considered, Hume is viewed as a naturalist, whose project in the first three parts of the first book of the Treatise is to provide an account of the operation of the understanding in which reason is subordinated to custom and other non-rationa…

Idealism and Freedom
Henry Allison is one of the foremost interpreters of the philosophy of Kant. This new volume collects all his recent essays on Kant's theoretical and practical philosophy. All the essays postdate Allison's two major books on Kant (Kant's Transcendental Idealism, 1983, and Kant's Theory of Freedom, 1990), and together they constitute an attempt to respond to critics and to clarify, develop and apply some of the central theses of those books. Two a…
Morality and Freedom
A t the end of the second part of the Groundwork Kant reflects that he has so far shown only that the autonomy of the will (the property the will has of being a law to itself )1 is the supreme principle of morality in the sense of being the ultimate presupposition of morality as it is commonly understood.2 The articulation of this principle marks the culmination of an analytic or regressive argument, the aim of which is to uncover and present wit…

Where Have all the Categories Gone? Reflections on Longuenesse?s Reading of Kant?s Transcendental Deduction
This paper contains a critical analysis of the interpretation of Kant?s second edition version of the Transcendental Deduction offered by Be ́atrice Longuenesse in her recent book: Kant and the Capacity to Judge. Though agreeing with much of Longuenesse?s analysis of the logical function of judgment, I question the way in which she tends to assign them the objectifying role traditionally given to the categories. More particularly, by way of defen…
The Non-spatiality of Things in Themselves for Kant
I. IN THE Aesthet ic Kant argued from the a priori nature of our representation of space (and time) to its and transcendental ideality. By the empirical reality of the representation of space Kant meant its with respect to outer appearances or objects of human experience. Transcendental ideality, on the other hand, refers to its lack of objective validity with respect to the same objects considered as they are in themselves. Appearances, in other…

To ask that question is to test the consistency and coherence of Kant's thought in its entirety. Widely praised when first published in France, The Coherence of Kant's Doctrine of Freedom articulates and interrelates the disparate senses of freedom in Kant's work. Ber…
