Opis

This book offers first time translations of the initial (1781-1789) critical reactions to Kant's philosophy. Also included is a selection of writings by Kant's contemporaries who took on the task of defending the critical philosophy against early attacks. This collection, which includes a glossary of key terms and biographical sketches of the critics on both sides of the debate, is a major addition to Kant scholarship and should be seen as a companion volume to the Cambridge Edition of the Works of Immanuel Kant.

Recenzje

"The choice of texts is judicious and the translations seem to be uniformly excellent...Sassen's collection is extremely well done and fills a gap in Kant scholarship." Philosophical Inquiry, Vol. XXIII
