Rethinking Kant: Volume 3
The series Rethinking Kant bears witness to the richness and vitality of Kantian studies. The series offers an alternative publishing venue of the highest quality, attractive to scholars who want to reach a readership of specialists and non-specialist alike. The collection is unique in its kind, for it garners papers from a whole generation of Kantian thought, ranging from doctoral students and recent PhDs to well-established thinkers in the field. This is the third volume in the series. It contains papers from three regional study groups of the North American Kant Society, and thus takes the pulse of current Kantian scholarship.

"This is an excellent collection of original essays on Kant’s philosophy, some by leading scholars, others by up-and-coming junior people. The essays cover a wide range of topics, from anthropology, ethics, and right, to metaphysics and epistemology. In addressing deep and controversial issues in Kant’s philosophy and in taking up recent debates in Kant scholarship, these essays not only convey a sharp picture of the state of the art in Kant scholarship, but indeed contribute to the ongoing process of ‘rethinking Kant’. No serious Kant scholar can afford to miss this volume."
Marcus Willaschek Goethe Universität, Frankfurt am Main, Germany
"Rethinking Kant: Volume 3 contains new essays by veteran Kant scholars and well-known philosophers as well as some impressive contributions by younger authors. Forging new connections between Kant’s early and late writings as well as between Kant and important predecessors such as Wolff and Baumgarten, this volume will be of particular interest to those who are concerned with the connection between the a priori and empirical (pure and impure) dimensions of Kant’s ambitious philosophical project."
Robert B. Louden President, North American Kant Society, University of Southern Maine, USA
