Human subjects are both formed by historical inheritances and capable of active criticism. Insisting on this fact, Kant and Benjamin each develop powerful, systematic, but sharply opposed accounts of human powers and interests in freedom. A persistent constitutive tension between Kantian and Benjaminan ideals is woven through human life. By examining the two philosophers, Richard Eldridge attempts to make better sense of the commitment forming, commitment revising,anxious, reflective and acculturated human subjects we are.
