Reviews

""While there are other very good collections that address either the Critique of Judgment as a whole or Kant's biological/scientific writings, none offer the combination of high-level scholarship and an editorial voice as innovative as Mensch's. While this volume is structured as a collection of essays that follow the development of the Critique of Judgment, Mensch is offering the theme of life as a way not only to interpret the third Critique but to connect its varied discussions far beyond Kant's text within his corpus and beyond."" — Avery Goldman, DePaul University
