In "Freedom and the End of Reason," Richard L. Velkley offers an
influential interpretation of the central issue of Kant's
philosophy and an evaluation of its position within modern
philosophy's larger history. He persuasively argues that the whole
of Kantianism--not merely the Second Critique--focuses on a
"critique of practical reason" and is a response to a problem that
Kant saw as intrinsic to reason itself: the teleological problem of
its goodness. Reconstructing the influence of Rousseau on Kant's
thought, Velkley demonstrates that the relationship between
speculative philosophy and practical philosophy in Kant is far more
intimate than generally has been perceived. By stressing a
Rousseau-inspired notion of reason as a provider of practical ends,
he is able to offer an unusually complete account of Kant's idea of
moral culture.
