In this volume, Karl Ameriks explores 'Kantian subjects' in three
senses. In Part I, he first clarifies the most distinctive
features-such as freedom and autonomy-of Kant's notion of what it
is for us to be a subject. Other chapters then consider related
'subjects' that are basic topics in other parts of Kant's
philosophy, such as his notions of necessity and history. Part II
examines the ways in which many of us, as 'late modern,' have been
highly influenced by Kant's philosophy and its indirect effect on
our self-conception through successive generations of
post-Kantians, such as Hegel and Schelling, and early Romantic
writers such as Hoelderlin, Schlegel, and Novalis, thus making us
'Kantian subjects' in a new historical sense. By defending the
fundamentals of Kant's ethics in reaction to some of the latest
scholarship in the opening chapters, Ameriks offers an extensive
argument that Hoelderlin expresses a valuable philosophical
position that is much closer to Kant than has generally been
recognized. He also argues that it was necessary for Kant's
position to be supplemented by the new conception, introduced by
the post-Kantians, of philosophy as fundamentally historical, and
that this conception has had a growing influence on the most
interesting strands of Anglophone as well as Continental
philosophy.
