Reviews

Generally, I greatly enjoyed reading this monograph as it is original, thought-provoking, well-informed, well-structured and creatively written. Joel Madore's account of Kant's tense togetherness of a morality based upon absolute freedom conjoined with a radical notion of evil is refreshing and fascinating. It explores a much neglected 'existentialist' side to Kant, which is nefariously pessimistic in nature. -- Philosophischer Literaturanzeiger, Vol. 64, no. 4
