Description
Book SynopsisIntended for those interested in Kant's contribution to philosophy, this volume provides an overview of Kant's arguments concerning central issues in metaphysics and ethics. Arthur Melnick argues that the key to all of Kant's arguments is his constructivist theory of space and time.
Trade ReviewThe essays are meticulous in style and address contested areas of Kantian interpretation. . . . This collection will stimulate much debate among those engaged in various aspects of Kantian studies.""—Gerard Mannion,
Theological Studies""Melnick tackles a number of the central problems in Kant interpretation with exceptional clarity. He proposes a coherent and innovative approach that should be widely discussed.""—Paul Guyer, University of Pennsylvania
""Ranging from close Kant interpretation, to extensions and modifications of Kant's thought, to more independent philosophical investigations—albeit in the Kantian spirit—the essays contained in this volume are uniformly written in remarkably crisp and solid prose. Throughout the collection Melnick demonstrates a thorough understanding of Kant's predecessors and contemporaries, a command of the current state of Kant scholarship, and a critical awareness of the work done by contemporary Anglo-American philosophers on the issues addressed in Kant's philosophy."" — Lee Hardy,
