Abstract

This volume of translations of early Kant reception, both of critics and of a few defenders, makes available important texts, both for study of modern philosophy and for contemporary discussion of the relevance of Kant’s immense historical influence. The volume’s five sections address several of the main problems posed by the theoretical part of Kant’s Critical Philosophy to his contemporaries, in particular the three central discussions centered on the Transcendental Aesthetic, Idealism, and the Categories. The volume is heavily endnoted, providing many useful supplementary discussions and a wealth of references to other relevant works; two appendices give short sketches of the authors and other important figures in early Kant reception, and there is a glossary of German terms.
