About this title

Review:

"...[a] marvelous and provocative book..." Inquiry

"What a pleasure to encounter a book on Kant and the Post-Kantians written with passion as well as erudition." Inquiry

Amerik's book is rich, rewarding, and detailed. He combines a mastery of the German and English material...with a fine historical sensibility, a gift for clear writing, and a sharp analytical mind. He also displays a scrupulous intellectual honesty, claiming clear advantages for the 'modest' approach to Kant while noting and discussing the shortcomings of that approach." Ethics

Book Description:

By providing the first study of the structure of the reaction to Kant's critical philosophy in the writings of Reinhold, Fichte and Hegel, Ameriks challenges the presumptions that dominate popular approaches to the concept of freedom, and to the interpretation of the relation between the Enlightenment, Kant and post-Kantian thought.
