Hegel's Critique of Kant Summary

Hegel's Critique of Kant by Sally Sedgwick (University of Illinois, Chicago)

Sally Sedgwick presents a fresh account of Hegel's critique of Kant's theoretical philosophy. She argues that Hegel offers a compelling critique of and alternative to the conception of cognition that Kant defended in his 'Critical' period. The book examines key features of what Kant identifies as the 'discursive' character of our mode of cognition, and considers Hegel's reasons for arguing that these features condemn Kant's theoretical philosophy to scepticism as well as dualism. Sedgwick goes on to present in a sympathetic light Hegel's claim to derive from certain Kantian doctrines clues to a superior form of idealism, a form of idealism that better captures the nature of our cognitive powers and their relation to objects.

Hegel's Critique of Kant Reviews

Hegel's Critique of Kant is a well-written attempt to make a plausible case for Hegel's reasons for diverging from Kant, and it is mandatory reading for anybody interested in the complex, multifaceted relation between Hegel and Kant. * Dennis Schulting, Kant-Studien *
her careful development of the Hegelian criticism of Kant's theoretical philosophy makes available wholly new and helpful ways of seeing the relation between these philosophers ... penetrating, patient, and generous book. * Sebastian Rand, Critique *
The volume is clearly written, impressively argued, and transparently structured. * Journal of the History of Philosophy *
Hegels Critique of Kant is a truly exemplary work of scholarship and will hopefully become regarded quickly as a classic study on one of the most interesting yet difficult philosophical relationships one can encounter. * Paul Giladi, University of Sheffield *
it is worth reiterating that the overall calrity and plausibility that Sedgwick brings to the roots, structure and nature of Hegel's Critiques of Kant here are going to prove a boon to anyone working in this area. * David Landy, Kantian Review *
written in admirably clear prose * Sean Sheehan, Irish Left Review *
Hegel's Critique of Kant amply rewards the patience of those who have been eagerly awaiting a book-length treatment of the position Sally Sedgwick has been developing over a number of years through her engagement with classical German philosophy. The book offers an original thesis with characteristic clarity, fine conceptual articulation and an expository style that combines the virtues of immanent interpretations with those of reconstructive ones. Careful reading of the primary texts is put to the service of showing what is true in our philosophical past. * Katerina Deligiorgi, Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews *
