Kant's Elliptical Path explores the main stages and key concepts in
the development of Kant's Critical philosophy, from the early 1760s
to the 1790s. Karl Ameriks provides a detailed and concise account
of the main ways in which the later Critical works provide a
plausible defence of the conception of humanity's fundamental end
that Kant turned to after reading Rousseau in the 1760s. Separate
essays are devoted to each of the three Critiques, as well as to
earlier notes and lectures and several of Kant's later writings on
history and religion. A final section devotes three chapters to
post-Kantian developments in German Romanticism, accounts of
tragedy up through Nietzsche, and contemporary philosophy. The
theme of an elliptical path is shown to be relevant to these
writers as well as to many aspects of Kant's own life and
work.
The topics of the book include fundamental issues in epistemology
and metaphysics, with a new defense of the Amerik's 'moderate'
interpretation of transcendental idealism. Other essays evaluate
Kant's concept of will and reliance on a 'fact of reason' in his
practical philosophy, as well as his critique of traditional
theodicies, and the historical character of his defense of religion
and the concepts of creation and hope within 'the boundaries of
mere reason'. Kant's Elliptical Path will be of value to historians
of modern philosophy and Kant scholars, while its treatment of
several literary figures and issues in aesthetics, politics,
history, and theology make it relevant to readers outside of
philosophy.
