Reviews

""Philosophy has, it turns out, neither forgotten nor repressed technics: the present work reveals with remarkable tenacity that it stands at the very heart of the Kantian philosophy from the first Critique to the very end. A remarkable work of scholarship, not to say conceptual and linguistic inventiveness, that both reveals new aspects of Kant's work and makes a significant intervention in contemporary post-Kantian philosophy."" --Michael Lewis, Senior Lecturer in Philosophy, Newcastle University, UK
