Opis

This book distinctively and comprehensively connects a set of issues in Kant's thought that have previously been treated in isolation from one another - reflection, epistemic agency, and virtue. It will appeal to a wide range of Kant scholars and to philosophers working in ethics and virtue epistemology.

Recenzje

'Merritt's book is a very thoughtful and original treatment of foundational interpretive and philosophical problems. I have found studying Kant on Reflection and Virtue very rewarding, and I am certain that any readers interested in Kant or in Kantian ethics and epistemology will take a lot away from it.' Ethics
