Reviews

[F]or those of us hungry to expand our appreciation of Kant's corpus overall, this book is a gold-mine of little noted yet deeply significant texts. The work Wuerth has done to comb carefully through long texts and really get to the heart of what is important philosophically about them reveals itself in these many pages. Along the way, he challenges us to accept the apparently (but not actually) un-Kantian ideas that the self is a substance and that the sensible and the intellectual have something approaching equal standing in Kant's theory of action. So, to reiterate: I recommend this book highly. Jeanine M. Grenberg, Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews
