Publisher's Synopsis
The essays in this volume represent some of the most recent writings and reflections on Kant and Kantian problematics. Many contributors rank among the most widely read and recognized scholars of Kantian literature, but this volume also includes essays by younger scholars who will be part of a new generation of Kantian inquiry. New Essays on Kant is a clear example of the interrelationship of the finest textual analysis with sound, rigorous reasoning. Many of the articles are written in view of each other, i.e., by philosophers who have developed their interpretations in reaction to each other's research and reading of Kant. Others deal with Kant's predecessors, or with the Kantian legacy and consider, e.g., elements in the philosophy of Hegel that have not been sufficiently recognized for their Kantian character.
