Reviews

Any new book from Henry Allison, one of the most influential Kant scholars in the four-decade-old resurgence of interest in Kant, is welcomeThe value of this particular essay, and the book in general, is that it invites this kind of further consideration of Allison's pivotal and comprehensive interpretation of Kant.
*Frederick Rauscher, Mind*

Allison's work is typically clear, thoughtful, and based upon careful reading and contemplation of both Kant's words and his deep intentions. No matter ones particular interests in Kant, this volume will serve as a welcome guide and deserves careful attention by anyone seriously interested in Kant in particular and the history of philosophy in general.
*Andrew Israelsen, Bibliographia*

Few people have had more impact on how Anglo-American philosophers read Kant than Henry Allison. . . . Throughout the diversity of this material, Allison sustains his characteristic clarity, seemingly encyclopedic knowledge of Kant's texts, and unified vision of Kant's Critical philosophy. . . . Allison's interpretations of Kant in these essays are, as always, something about which Kant scholars will have to think, and argue, for years to come.
