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.
Kantian Dignity and its Difficulties
This book is a systematic and historical study of the nature and reception of Kant’s distinctive conception of dignity. The first chapter discusses contemporary interpretations and defends Kant’s concept of dignity as rooted in a basic capacity of reason for morality, and as an unconditional, all-or-nothing, and inviolable feature of all human beings, one that deserves universal respect. The next four chapters build on this systematic account by …

History, Idealism, and Schelling
This chapter places Schelling’s philosophy in the context of the general historical turn of German Idealism. It notes the many phases of Schelling’s career and his move from an early highly systematic approach that stresses the non-scientific character of history, toward a later more aesthetic and nuanced teleological approach that shows an appreciation for history, including religion and mythology, precisely because of its open and not entirely …
Beyond the Living and the Dead
Kantian Subjects
The first half of this book concerns issues directly related to a few key Kant texts and recent discussions of them. The Critical philosophy’s conception of subjectivity is the main focus, with special attention given to the features of freedom, autonomy, law, necessity, final ends, an overall human vocation, intentionality, and idealism. The second half contains essays on post-Kantian figures, with an emphasis on Hegel, Schelling, and Hölderlin …
On Some Reactions to Kant’s “Tragic Problem”
The Historical Turn and Late Modernity
Hegel on Philosophy in History
In this volume honouring Robert Pippin, prominent philosophers such as John McDowell, Slavoj Žižek, Jonathan Lear, and Axel Honneth explore Hegel's proposals concerning the historical character of philosophy. Hegelian doctrines discussed include the purported end of art, Hegel's view of human history, including the history of philosophy as the history of freedom (or autonomy), and the nature of self-consciousness as realized in narrative or in ac…
Ginsborg, Nature, and Normativity
This is an appreciative critical comment on Hannah Ginsborg’s book, The Normativity of Nature. The comment expresses agreement with the book’s general theme that normativity is a broad feature of human experience that cannot be explained by attention to prior rules, but it also suggests that this view may be compatible with some ideas that Kant has with respect to to what can be regarded as objectively aesthetic features of nature
Kantian Metaphysics
The Impact of Idealism
The first study of its kind, The Impact of Idealism assesses the impact of classical German philosophy on science, religion and culture. This volume explores German Idealism's impact on philosophy and scientific thought. Fourteen essays, by leading authorities in their respective fields, each focus on the legacy of a particular idea that emerged around 1800, when the underlying concepts of modern philosophy were being formed, challenged and criti…
Impact of Idealism
Kant’s Ambivalent Cosmopolitanism
Spinoza and German Idealism
There can be little doubt that without Spinoza, German Idealism would have been just as impossible as it would have been without Kant. Yet the precise nature of Spinoza's influence on the German Idealists has hardly been studied in detail. This volume of essays by leading scholars sheds light on how the appropriation of Spinoza by Fichte, Schelling and Hegel grew out of the reception of his philosophy by, among others, Lessing, Mendelssohn, Jacob…
Kant's Elliptical Path
Kant's Elliptical Path* explores the main stages and key concepts in the development of Kant's Critical philosophy, from the early 1760s to the 1790s. Karl Ameriks provides a detailed and concise account of the main ways in which the later Critical works provide a plausible defence of the conception of humanity's fundamental end that Kant turned to after reading Rousseau in the 1760s. Separate essays are devoted to each of the three Critiques, as…
Pure Reason of Itself Alone Suffices to Determine the Will” (42 – 57)
Kant’s Idealism on a Moderate Interpretation
Interpretation after Kant
After tracing the rise in interest in the phenomenon of interpretation to events in the early post-Kantian period, I argue that this development is highly relevant to understanding contemporary philosophy's methodological status and its relation to fields such as science and literature. I argue that much of recent philosophy is best understood in terms of an "interpretive turn" that has now provided philosophy with a modest but valuable and disti…
Karl Leonhard Reinhold
Reinhold's Letters on the Kantian Philosophy is arguably the most influential book ever written concerning Kant. It provides a helpful introduction to Kant's philosophy and a valuable explanation of how that philosophy can be understood as an appropriate Enlightenment solution to the 'pantheism dispute' which dominated thought in the era of German Idealism. The first edition of Kant's Critique of Pure Reason was slow in gaining a positive recepti…
Kant and the Historical Turn
Immanuel Kant's work changed the course of modern philosophy; this book examines how. The book compares the philosophical system set out in Kant's Critiques with the work of the major philosophers before and after him (Descartes, Berkeley, Hume, Reid, Jacobi, Reinhold, the early German Romantics, Hegel, Feuerbach, and Marx). A systematic introduction argues that complexities in the interpretation of Kant's system led to a new emphasis on history,…
Internationales Jahrbuch des Deutschen Idealismus (2005) / International Yearbook of German Idealism (2005)
The Key Role of Selbstgefühl in Philosophy's Aesthetic and Historical Turns
In Selbstgefühl, Manfred Frank provides a detailed study of the eighteenth century origins and contemporary philosophical implications of a unique kind of direct self-awareness. The growing significance of this phenomenon is closely related to three interconnected developments in modern philosophy, which I describe as the ‘subjective turn’, the ‘aesthetic turn’, and the ‘historical turn’. While following Frank in emphasising key concepts in the f…
On Two Non‐Realist Interpretations of Kant's Ethics
Turns to questions about the ultimate nature of the content of Kant’s ethical theory. It criticizes aspects of the very influential constructivist reading of Kant’s ethics, originated by John Rawls and his students and employed in Jerome Schneewind’s important account of the history of modern ethics. There are historical and systematic reasons for allowing a much more positive relation between Kant’s ethical theory and moral realism. As with his …
Kant's Deduction of Freedom and Morality
Concerns a pivotal development in Kant’s practical philosophy, one that confirms the central role of judgement and experience in Kant’s philosophy. Kant’s first major work in practical philosophy, the Groundwork of the Metaphysics of Morals (1785), suggests a very intriguing but ultimately unsatisfying argument for the validity of morality, one that starts at first from a mere consideration of the general nature of human judgement. For a wide var…
Interpreting Kant's Critiques
This volume contains essays on all three main areas of Kant’s work: theoretical philosophy (the first Critique), practical philosophy (the second Critique), and aesthetics (the third Critique). It begins with a substantial, specially written introduction that sets out main themes in the structure and interpretation of Kant’s Critical philosophy. The first part of the book (Chs. 1–5) includes several of the author’s well-known essays on the Critiq…
Kant's Theory of Mind
This book presents the first extensive analysis in English of Kant's systematic criticism of dogmatic accounts of the mind as a distinctive object. This criticism has been much admired, especially in Anglophone circles, but interpreters have rarely paid attention to its full historical context and the many different dimensions of its treatment of the mind. In the Critique of Pure Reason, Kant organizes his criticism in terms of four fundamental f…
Kant’s Transcendental Deduction as a Regressive Argument
Kantian Subjects
The first half of this book concerns issues directly related to a few key Kant texts and recent discussions of them. The Critical philosophy’s conception of subjectivity is the main focus, with special attention given to the features of freedom, autonomy, law, necessity, final ends, an overall human vocation, intentionality, and idealism. The second half contains essays on post-Kantian figures, with an emphasis on Hegel, Schelling, and Hölderlin …

Hegel's Critique of Kant's Theoretical Philosophy
Ivan Soll has remarked that entire program and conception of philosophy depended upon refuting Kant's limitation of reason.' But while Soll discusses Hegel's attempts in this regard, he admits he has not attempted to corroborate or criticize Hegel's interpretation of Kant.' Soll is not alone here, for even with the great renewal of interest in Hegel today,3 there has been surprisingly little critical discussion of Hegel's treatment of Kant, espec…

Ginsborg, Nature, and Normativity
This is an appreciative critical comment on Hannah Ginsborg’s book, The Normativity of Nature. The comment expresses agreement with the book’s general theme that normativity is a broad feature of human experience that cannot be explained by attention to prior rules, but it also suggests that this view may be compatible with some ideas that Kant has with respect to to what can be regarded as objectively aesthetic features of nature
Hegel's Aesthetics
Above all else, Hegel can be said to be the master of context, the philosopher who insisted that properly understanding anything involves putting it in its full context, reconstructing its development and its relation to all that is around it. From the beginning of his career, Hegel did not hesitate to put into its place the work of his fellow philosophers; his analysis, critique, and supersession of them occurred all at once, and culminated when…

Idealism and Freedom
The Cambridge Companion to German Idealism
The Cambridge Companion to German Idealism, first published in 2000, offers a comprehensive, penetrating and informative guide to what is regarded as the classical period of German philosophy. Kant, Fichte, Hegel and Schelling are all discussed in detail, together with a number of their contemporaries, such as Hölderlin and Schleiermacher, whose influence was considerable but whose work is less well known in the English-speaking world. The essays…
Interaction
This chapter focuses on a host of issues that are central to Kant's philosophy in general, and his understanding of the mind in particular, even though they do not correspond to the heading of a specific paralogism. I explain how the modern problem of interaction, in general, dominated Kant's early work, and how Kant's views on the specific issue of mind‐body interaction always have to be approached in this context. Indicative of the complexity o…
Immortality
This is a relatively brief chapter, giving a concise review of Kant's position on this issue throughout his writings. On the one hand, Kant treats the topic as the defining ‘Idea’ and goal of rational psychology as such; on the other, he is highly critical of all traditional theoretical arguments for it. His harsh criticism of these arguments has been a major factor in misleading readers into thinking that he has equally incisive or negative view…
Ideality
This chapter discusses the most general aspects of Kant's discussion of the self and gives an overview of the full range of topics that he covered in his philosophical discussion of ‘psychological’ issues. There are two especially important issues requiring further discussion here: apperception and idealism. I explain the significance of Kant's Critical distinction between ‘apperception’ and ‘inner sense’, and discuss different views on how these…
Immateriality
This chapter begins the detailed analysis of specific Kantian doctrines of the mind by pointing out that, despite its sharp critique of many rationalist arguments, Kant's Critical philosophy remains committed to the core rationalist claim that the mind ultimately cannot be material. This claim follows from transcendental idealism's general doctrine that nothing is material in itself. I explain in detail how this view is compatible with Kant's cri…
Independence
This chapter concerns human freedom, a topic that Kant remarkably struck from the list of main topics in rational psychology, although right before the Critique, he had given it pride of place. Hence, it is crucial to see why the Critique neither presents nor directly criticizes the rationalist arguments for our freedom with which Kant was extremely familiar. Kant's views here must be understood in terms of clues from his lectures, and especially…
Identity
This chapter concerns Kant's views on the issue of personal identity, the topic of the third paralogism. This is an especially complicated topic for Kant because it immediately requires bringing together non‐temporal (noumenal) and temporal (phenomenal) aspects of the self: something is one and the same ‘person’ only if in a certain way it is one and the same mental substance over time. I note the striking diversity of readings of Kant's argument…
