Essays on Kant Zusammenfassung

Essays on Kant Henry E. Allison (University of California, San Diego, and Boston University (Emeritus))

This volume comprises seventeen essays by Henry E. Allison, one of the world's leading Kant scholars. They cover virtually the full spectrum of Allison'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. But most of the essays revolve around three basic themes: the nature of transcendental idealism and its relation to other aspects of Kant's thought; freedom of the will; and the concept of the purposiveness of nature. The first two themes have been prominent in Allison's work on Kant since its inception. The essays on the third theme constitute a major new contribution to the understanding of Kant's 'critical' philosophy; their primary concern is to demonstrate the central place of the third Critique in Kant's thought. Among the notable features of Allison's essays is the presence of a significant comparative dimension, which places Kant's views in their historical context and explores their contemporary relevance. To this end, these views are contrasted with those of his major predecessors and immediate successors, as well as philosophers of the present day.

Essays on Kant Bewertungen

Any new book from Henry Allison, one of the most influential Kant scholars in the four-decade-old resurgence of interest in Kant, is welcomeThe value of this particular essay, and the book in general, is that it invites this kind of further consideration of Allison's pivotal and comprehensive interpretation of Kant. * Frederick Rauscher, Mind *
Allison's work is typically clear, thoughtful, and based upon careful reading and contemplation of both Kant's words and his deep intentions. No matter ones particular interests in Kant, this volume will serve as a welcome guide and deserves careful attention by anyone seriously interested in Kant in particular and the history of philosophy in general. * Andrew Israelsen, Bibliographia *
Few people have had more impact on how Anglo-American philosophers read Kant than Henry Allison. . . . Throughout the diversity of this material, Allison sustains his characteristic clarity, seemingly encyclopedic knowledge of Kant's texts, and unified vision of Kant's Critical philosophy. . . . Allison's interpretations of Kant in these essays are, as always, something about which Kant scholars will have to think, and argue, for years to come. * Nicholas Stang, Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews *
