“A new generation of Kant scholars is on the rise, and this beautifully printed and consummately edited scholarly collection announces their ascendancy with distinctive fanfare. … The essays are extremely readable, impeccably annotated, and abundantly resourceful, so they will be useful both for novice readers finding their way through Kant’s notoriously difficult thicket of concepts and for established scholars seeking reference points sure to spark renewed debate. … Researchers in particular will find this book a critical touchstone.” (J. G. Moore, Choice, Vol. 55 (12), August, 2018)
