The Critique of Pure Reason Kant's First Critique is one of the
most studied texts in intellectual history, but as Alfredo Ferrarin
points out in this radically original book, most of that study has
focused only on very select parts. Likewise, Kant's oeuvre as a
whole has been compartmentalized, the three Critiques held in rigid
isolation from one another. Working against the standard reading of
Kant that such compartmentalization has produced, The Powers of
Pure Reason explores forgotten parts of the First Critique in order
to find an exciting, new, and ultimately central set of concerns by
which to read all of Kant's works. Ferrarin blows the dust off of
two egregiously overlooked sections of the First Critique the
Transcendental Dialectic and the Doctrine of Method. There he
discovers what he argues is the Critique's greatest achievement: a
conception of the unity of reason and an exploration of the powers
it has to reach beyond itself and legislate over the world. With
this in mind, Ferrarin dismantles the common vision of Kant as a
philosopher writing separately on epistemology, ethics, and
aesthetics and natural teleology, showing that the three Critiques
are united by this underlying theme: the autonomy and teleology of
reason, its power and ends. The result is a refreshing new view of
Kant, and of reason itself.
