Owen Ware's book is impressively multifaceted... This is a splendid study: historically informed, neatly organized, carefully argued, and on many points appreciably innovative... Specialists in Kantian moral philosophy and post-Kantian thought need to read this book; so, too, should anyone interested in conceptually creative, incisive ethical thinking along distinctly post-Kantian (and pre-Hegelian) lines.
Owen Ware is Assistant Professor at the University of Toronto. He has published extensively on Kant and post-Kantian philosophy, with a focus on questions of freedom, morality, and normativity. He is the author of Kant's Justification of Ethics, forthcoming from Oxford University Press.
