Rezensionen

'Uleman consistently states her aims in each chapter clearly, organizes discussions well, and poses questions to make her train of thought easy to follow. Her grasp of the details of Kant's moral philosophy as well as of how those details hang together to form a whole is rare and impressive. This work should prove to be very helpful to many students.'
