Essays on Kant 1st Edition by Henry E. Allison (PDF)

Description

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 viewsin 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.

User’s Reviews

Editorial Reviews: Review “Any new book from Henry Allison, one of the most influential Kant scholars in the four-decade-old resurgence of interest in Kant, is welcome… The 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.” –Mind “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.”–Nicholas Stang, Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews About the Author Henry E. Allison is Emeritus Professor of the University of California, San Diego, and Boston University. He is the author of many books, including Custom and Reason in Hume (OUP, 2008), and over seventy-five scholarly articles and reviews.
