Cambridge University Press Kant Observations on the Feeling of the Beautiful and Sublime and Other Writings Cambridge Texts in the History of Philosophy
Book SynopsisThis volume collects Kant's most important ethical and anthropological writings from the 1760s, before he developed his critical philosophy. The materials presented here range from the Observations, one of Kant's most elegantly written and immediately popular texts, to the accompanying Remarks which Kant wrote in his personal copy of the Observations and which are translated here in their entirety for the first time. This edition also includes little-known essays as well as personal notes and fragments that reveal the emergence of Kant's complex philosophical ideas. Those familiar with Kant's later works will discover a Kant interested in the 'beauty' as well as the 'dignity' of humanity, in human diversity as well as the universality of morals, and in practical concerns rather than abstract philosophizing. Readers will be able to see Kant's development from the Observations through the Remarks towards the moral philosophy that eventually made him famous.Trade Review"...more accessible and more affordable, while maintaining the rigorous translations and editorial standards of the Cambridge Edition...." --Colin McQuillan, University of Tennessee Knoxville, Philosophy in ReviewTable of ContentsIntroduction; Chronology; Further reading; Note on the texts; Thoughts on the Occasion of Mr Johann Friedrich von Funk's Untimely Death (1760); Observations on the Feeling of the Beautiful and Sublime (1764); Remarks in Observations on the Feeling of the Beautiful and Sublime (1764–5); Essay on the Maladies of the Head (1764); Inquiry concerning the distinctness of the principles of natural theology and morality (1764); M.

Cambridge University Press Locke A Biography
Book SynopsisThis is the first comprehensive biography of John Locke to be published in nearly a half century. Setting Locke's life within exciting historical and intellectual contexts, which included the English Civil War, religious persecution, and the Glorious Revolution of 1688, Roger Woolhouse interweaves an account of Locke's life with a summary and development of his ideas in theory of knowledge, philosophy of science, medicine, economics, philosophy of religion, and political philosophy. Systematic and encyclopedic in its coverage, Woolhouse's biography offers both an account and explanation of Locke's ideas, while treating seriously his emotional relationship with Elinor Parry. Based on broad research and many years of study of Locke's philosophy, this volume is an authoritative biography on one of the most significant early modern philosophers.Trade Review'If one loves Locke, or liberty, or, indeed, Somerset, this is a book one cannot comfortably live without. Roger Woolhouse is a professor of philosophy, so he can explain the full development of Locke's philosophical works. He combines that with a warm and fascinating account of Locke's personal and political life.' The Times'Woolhouse has produced an outstanding work of scholarship. … it will be an indispensable resource for many years to come.' Locke Studies'… neat and lucid account …' The Times Literary Supplement'In this excellent biography, the author is keen to show how Locke's philosophy was based on the events through which he lived: the Civil War … Whilst he discusses those works with great care and clarity, he is always keen to give readers a portrait of Locke the man with his strengths and weaknesses.' Contemporary Review'Woolhouse's portrait supersedes the 1957 definitive biography by mining a multivolume collection of Locke's correspondence published since then, providing this opportunity for active philosophy collections to freshen their Locke section.' Booklist'Woolhouse weaves compelling critical readings of Locke's works into events in Locke's life that prompted them, also showing the extent to which many of Locke's key ideas emerged early in his life. Woolhouse combines engaging writing with lucid insights into Locke's times to create not only an elegant critical biography but also a first-rate social history.' Library Journal'Woolhouse has produced a fascinating portrait of Locke which will be required reading for all those interested in Locke the philosopher and Locke the man, for many years to come' Chris R. Kyle, Renaissance Quarterly'Now we can be grateful not only for the life and works of this profoundly influential man but for Woolhouse's gift of him to us anew.' Library Journal'Relying on Locke's correspondence, manuscripts, and mostly unpublished journals, Woolhouse pieces together a detailed quilt that exhibits the tremendous variety of Locke's interests and activities … [a] judicious and engaging biography.' Michael Losonsky, Journal of the History of Philosophy'… a valuable tool for any scholar interested in Locke or the intellectual history of the late seventeenth century.' British Journal for the History of Philosophy'Roger Woolhouse, a professor of philosophy emeritus at York and a specialist of the period, has supplied the new version. … there are wonderful passages in Woolhouse's account.' Robert Mankin'… impressive … This tour de force appeared in hardback two years ago and must now rank as the definite biography of the one British philosopher whose legacy has proved most enduring.'

Cambridge University Press Kant and the Fate of Autonomy
Book SynopsisBy providing the first study of the structure of the reaction to Kant's critical philosophy in the writings of Reinhold, Fichte and Hegel, Ameriks challenges the presumptions that dominate popular approaches to the concept of freedom, and to the interpretation of the relation between the Enlightenment, Kant and post-Kantian thought.Trade Review"...[a] marvelous and provocative book..." Inquiry"What a pleasure to encounter a book on Kant and the Post-Kantians written with passion as well as erudition." InquiryAmerik's book is rich, rewarding, and detailed. He combines a mastery of the German and English material...with a fine historical sensibility, a gift for clear writing, and a sharp analytical mind. He also displays a scrupulous intellectual honesty, claiming clear advantages for the 'modest' approach to Kant while noting and discussing the shortcomings of that approach."

Book SynopsisThis volume collects some of the seminal essays on Descartes by Daniel Garber, a pre-eminent scholar of early-modern philosophy. The unifying theme of the volume is the interconnection between Descartes' philosophical and scientific interests, and the extent to which these two sides of the Cartesian program illuminate each other.Trade Review'This valuable collection of seminal papers, some heretofore not easily accessible, no doubt will enrich a wide audience especially students of and professionals engaged in early modern history of philosophy, ideas, or science. It enticingly shows the development of thought over time of one of the world's leading scholars of Descartes' system of philosophy.'

Cambridge University Press Herder Philosophical Writings Cambridge Texts in
Book SynopsisJohann Gottfried von Herder (1744â1803) is one of the most important German philosophers of the eighteenth century, who had enormous influence on later thinkers such as Hegel, Schleiermacher and Nietzsche. His wide-ranging ideas were formative in the development of linguistics, hermeneutics, anthropology and bible scholarship, and even today they retain their vitality and relevance to an extraordinary degree. This volume presents a translation of Herder's most important and characteristic philosophical writings (some of which have never before been translated) in his areas of central interest, including philosophy of language, philosophy of mind, philosophy of history and political philosophy, as well as his general philosophical program. An introduction sets the writings in their historical context and examines their philosophical achievement.Trade Review"This volume of translations of Herder's philosophical writings, many of which have never before been translated, is an important step in making herder accessible to readers who do not know German. Recommended." Choice"This most welcome volume should serve to stimulate further interest in Herder and make his ideas more accessible to Anglophones. For the price, it is a real bargain!"

Cambridge University Press Francis Bacon and the Transformation of EarlyModern Philosophy
Book SynopsisThis ambitious and important book, first published in 2001, provides a truly general account of Francis Bacon as a philosopher. It describes how Bacon transformed the values that had underpinned philosophical culture since antiquity by rejecting the traditional idea of a philosopher as someone engaged in contemplation of the cosmos. The book explores in detail how and why Bacon attempted to transform the largely esoteric discipline of natural philosophy into a public practice through a program in which practical science provided a model that inspired many from the seventeenth to the twentieth centuries. Stephen Gaukroger shows that this reform of natural philosophy was dependent on the creation of a new philosophical persona: a natural philosopher shaped through submission to the dictates of Baconian method. This book will be recognized as a major contribution to Baconian scholarship, of special interest to historians of early-modern philosophy, science, and ideas.Trade Review"...a well-rounded and fairly comprehensive overview of Bacon the philosopher, sufficiently contextualized to make it an excellent, serious introduction to his thought and work." The Philosophical Review"...will certainly stimulate and enrich discussion..." Renaissance Quarterly"Engaging and well-documented..."
