Guyer Paul. The Cambridge Companion to Kant and Modern Philosophy

Cambridge University Press, 2006. — 739 p.The philosophy of Immanuel Kant is the watershed of modern thought, which irrevocably changed the landscape of the field and prepared the way for all the significant philosophical movements of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. This volume, which complements The Cambridge Companion to Kant, covers every aspect of Kant’s philosophy, with an expanded focus on his moral and political philosophy. It also provides detailed coverage of Kant’s historical context and of the enormous impact and influence that his work has had on the subsequent history of philosophy. The bibliography provides extensive and organized coverage of both classical and recent books on Kant in the main languages of Kant scholarship. This volume thus provides the broadest and deepest introduction to Kant and his place in modern philosophy currently available. It makes the philosophical enterprise of Kant accessible to those coming to his work for the first time.Paul Guyer is Florence R. C.
