For a very long time, Kant’s Doctrine of Right languished in
relative neglect, even among those who wanted to defend a Kantian
position in political philosophy. Kant’s more interesting claims
about politics were often said to be located elsewhere. This
anthology examines a wide range of issues discussed by Kant in the
Doctrine of Right and other closely related texts, including his
views on social contract theory, private property, human rights,
welfare and equality, civil disobedience, perpetual peace,
forgiveness and punishment, and marriage equality. The authors have
all tested Kant’s arguments for possible political application,
reaching different and sometimes opposing conclusions. The result
is a highly original volume that not only enhances the
understanding of Kant’s political philosophy, but also invites
substantive debate within the Kantian tradition and beyond.
This book introduces Hegel's best-known and most influential work,
Phenomenology of Spirit, by interpreting it as a unified argument
for a single philosophical claim: that human beings achieve their
freedom through retrospective self-understanding. In clear,
non-technical prose, Larry Krasnoff sets this claim in the context
of the history of modern philosophy and shows how it is developed
in the major sections of Hegel's text. The result is an accessible
and engaging guide to one of the most complex and important works
of nineteenth-century philosophy, which will be of interest to all
students and teachers working in this area.

Kantian autonomy is often thought to be independent of time and
place, but J. B. Schneewind in his landmark study, The Invention of
Autonomy, has shown that there is much to be learned by setting
Kant's moral philosophy in the context of the history of modern
moral philosophy. The distinguished authors in the collection
continue Schneewind's project by relating Kant's work to the
historical context of his predecessors and to the empirical context
of human agency. This will be a valuable resource for professionals
and advanced students in philosophy, the history of ideas, and the
history of political thought.
