In this updated edition of his outstanding introduction to Kant,
Paul Guyer uses Kant's central conception of autonomy as the key to
his thought. Beginning with a helpful overview of Kant's life and
times, Guyer introduces Kant's metaphysics and epistemology,
carefully explaining his arguments about the nature of space, time
and experience in his most influential but difficult work, The
Critique of Pure Reason. He offers an explanation and critique of
Kant's famous theory of transcendental idealism and shows how much
of Kant's philosophy is independent of this controversial doctrine.
He then examines Kant's moral philosophy, his celebrated
'categorical imperative' and his theories of duty, freedom of will
and political rights. This section of the work has been
substantially revised to clarify the relation between Kant's
conceptions of "internal" and "external" freedom. In his treatments
of Kant's aesthetics and teleology, Guyer focuses on their relation
to human freedom and happiness. Finally, he considers Kant's view
that the development of human autonomy is the only goal that we can
conceive for both natural and human history. Including a
chronology, glossary, chapter summaries and up-to-date further
reading, Kant, second edition is an ideal introduction to this
demanding yet pivotal figure in the history of philosophy, and
essential reading for all students of philosophy.
