One of the most welcome developments in recent Kant scholarship has been the emergence of the several Kant Study Groups, supervening on the North American Kant Society and its already very full slate of sessions at the three major APA conferences. Rethinking Kant: Volume 2, contains papers from each Group (Eastern, Midwest, and Pacific), and the papers themselves in turn deal with basic issues in nearly every major area of Kant's philosophical work: his metaphysics-and-epistemology, his ethics, his aesthetics, and his political theory. The papers are first-rate; the Introduction is equally good; and the whole package represents the cutting edge of contemporary Kant-studies. This volume is decisive proof that Kantian philosophy is the most broadly active and richly productive historically-oriented sub-area in contemporary philosophy. Robert Hanna University of Colorado at Boulder Kant studies in North America is a vibrant academic domain, and the new instrument for capturing its impulses presented in the Rethinking Kant series is extremely welcome. This second volume in the series contains a range of essays-by newer as well as long familiar Kant scholars-that take up a stunningly broad and deep array of issues in the work of Kant and offer new and provocative perspectives. Each contribution, vetted in the context of session meetings of the North American Kant Society, shows rigorous 'rethinking' and testifies to the vitality of the field. John H. Zammito Rice University Rethinking Kant: Volume 2 brings together the work of both new and established scholars in ways that provoke as well as inform. Rich in insights, this fresh and stimulating collection of essays easily fulfills the promise of its title. Susan Shell Boston College
