Description
Book SynopsisSalomon Maimon was one of the most important and influential Jewish intellectuals of the Enlightenment. This translation of his principal work, "Essay on Transcendental Philosophy", expresses Maimon's response to the revolution in philosophy wrought by Kant's "Critique of Pure Reason".
Trade Review[T]his is a remarkable accomplishment which will hopefully set standards for future work on Maimon, both in quality and ... also in the all too rare cooperation between scholars to which this edition testifies. * Kant studien *
