Rezensionen

"Both lively and magisterial..." Notre Dame PhilosophicalReviews

"Truly up-to-date overviews of Kant's criticalphilosophy are rare. Allen Wood's outstanding new study is at oncean intriguing philosophical interpretation of Kant for specialistsand an extremely clear and helpful guide for students."Karl Ameriks, University of Notre Dame

"Allen Wood's Kant is clearly written, and it isaccessible to a broad audience without making any sacrifice ofprecision in expounding complex philosophical doctrines. It coversall aspects of Kant's thought and relates them, as much as ispossible within the constraints of a fairly short book, tocontemporary issues and concerns." Béatrice Longuenesse,New York University

"Writing with

both vigor and rigor, Allen Wood provides conciseand insightful accounts of Kant's theory of knowledge and critiqueof traditional metaphysics, and of his moral and politicalphilosophy. He also paints a distinctive picture of the historicaldimension of Kant's thought: his sensitivity to the history ofphilosophy, but even more importantly his recognition thathumankind itself has a history, and that its moral goals must beachieved through the means of history and within the limits ofhistory." Paul Guyer, University of Pennsylvania

"Wood's Kant is an exemplary introductionto Kant's Philosophy and the issues that it raises. Undergraduatestudents in particular will benefit greatly from it, both aspreparation for reading the primary texts and as a guide todeveloping a philosophical engagement with them. Teachers thereforeought not to hesitate in refering students to it and in employingWood's stimulating interpretive and evaluative points to teaching."Tom Bailey, University of Pisa, Kantian Review
