Sebastian Gardner

Routledge Philosophy GuideBook to Kant and the Critique of Pure Reason

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Kant's "The Critique of Pure Reason" is arguably the single most important philosophical work in Western philosophy. It is also one of the most difficult philosophical texts to study. This clear, straightforward guide to the "Critique" recasts Kant's thought in more familiar language, avoiding the technicalities that plague other secondary sources on Kant. Sebastian Gardner examines Kant's thought by contrasting two interpretive traditions--those of Strawson and Allison--while setting the "Critique" in the context of both pre-Kantian and post-Kantian philosophy. Ideal for anyone coming to Kant's thought for the first time, this accessible guide will be vital reading for all students of Kant in philosophy.
