Opis

Immanuel Kant is renowned for a dramatic shift in thinking about the world known as his Copernican Revolution. Experience is not the result simply of the mind's passive receipt of sense impressions: rather, the mind actively organizes our experience as experience of objects with qualities. We impose order on the world, applying categories which are universally valid. Since we actively shape experience, knowledge of the world is possible.

This collection brings together many of the most influential criticisms of Kantian philosophy, from his own time to the present day. Volume I is historical, including Kant criticism from Schiller to Buchdahl. It contains some previously untranslated material. Volumes II, III and IV include recent essays on Kant, covering the major aspects of his work. Volume II looks at the Critique of Pure Reason, Volume III at Kant's moral and political philosophy, and Volume IV at the Critique of Judgement and the relation of the third Critique to the other two. The volumes will be of great value to anyone with a serious interest in Kant's philosophy.
