'Mr Bennett, as was to be expected, has written a first-rate book
on Kant's Analytic. It is vivid, entertaining, and extremely
instructive. It will be found of absorbing interest both by those
who already know the Critique and by those - if there are any such
- who have a developed interest in philosophy, yet no direct
acquaintance with Kant. These last it will surely drive to the text
and, as surely, will drive them to approach it in a truly
philosophical spirit. Bennett's Kant is not a giant immersed, or
frozen, in time. He is a great contemporary - a little out of
touch, admittedly, with recent developments in mathematics and
physics - but one with whom we can all argue, against him, at his
side, or obliquely to him. And so Bennett does argue, continuously,
fiercely, and fruitfully; and summons to join in the argument, at
appropriate moments, those older contemporaries, Locke, Leibniz,
Berkeley, and Hume, and those younger contemporaries, Wittgenstein,
Ryle, Ayler, Quine, Quinton, Warnock, and others. This is splendid,
and a necessary corrective to that extraordinary isolation in which
Kant tends to be islanded, partly indeed, by his own unique
qualities, but partly by oceans of the wrong kind of respect.
Bennett, continuously engaging his great antagonist, shows the
right kind.'
