Offers a reading of some of the lesser known and less lucid aspects
of Kantian thought. Diane Morgan focuses her investigation on a
reappraisal of Kant's writings on architecture, monarchy and faith
in progress. Throughout her study Morgan challenges the widely held
view of Kant as the exponent of concrete and rigid rationality and
argues that his airtight "architectonic" mode of reasoning, which
Kant identified in "The Critique of Pure Reason", overlooks certain
topics which destabilize it. Themes such as temporary forms of
architecture, like landscape gardening; examples which undermine
the autonomy of the Kantian subject, for example freemasonry; and
the concept of radical evil suggest that Kant's thought was capable
of accommodating troubling and subversive themes. Morgan's
discussion arrives at a perspective on Kant whereby he is no longer
to be regarded as a concrete rationalist but as a daring thinker,
not afraid to entertain ideas highly threatening to his own system
and to the humanistic legacy of the Enlightenment.
