In brief, Kant and the Problem of Language asks us to reconsider a commonplace of intellectual history, according to which the Kantian revolution, which revised the Cartesian cogito to the point where it begins to dissolve as an epistemic center, is overcome and thus completed by a corresponding revolution in thought that generally goes by the name of the linguistic turn, which then dominates both continental and Anglo-American thought in the twentieth-century. This volume requires that we consider the possibility that the latter turn was already at work in the Kantian revolution, if not completely, then surely in part. --Peter D. Fenves, Professor of German, Judd A. and Marjorie Weinberg College of Arts and Sciences at Northwestern University
