Rezensionen

With this fresh and provocative new work, Paul Saurette presents a minority view of Kant that has few antecedents. His re-reading of Kant's moral philosophy as a species of ethical cultivation - deeply indebted to an ascetics of humiliation - is innovative, challenging, and very well executed. This is a major contribution to research.' Ian Hunter, Centre for the History of European Discourses, University of Queensland The Kantian Imperative is a first-rate book: thoughtful, distinctive, provocative, engaging, eye-opening, even disturbing. It is one of those rare books where a reader can say, I wish I'd written it. With great insight and an elegant prose style, Paul Saurette has unearthed problematic dimensions of Kant's thought that demand serious attention.'
