Reviews

This book is, without a doubt, the most thorough and historically-informed commentary on the transcendental deduction available in the literature. There is simply no other work that provides such a close, detailed textual analysis of all versions of the deduction. Allison's magisterial command of the Kantian texts is deeply impressive. * A.B. Dickerson, Journal of the History of Philosophy * The purpose of this book, by one of the foremost contemporary Kant scholars, is to advance a simultaneously 'analytic and historical' treatment of the most complex component of Kant's philosophy: the Transcendental Deduction ...One of the many virtues of his magisterial account is that by setting out the resources of the Deduction in such detail, we can now better evaluate its role in the actual arguments of the Critique. * Sacha Golob, Mind *
