Few philosophers stand out as boldly as Immanuel Kant. While he did
not write as much as others, his principle works, Critique of Pure
Reason, Critique of Practical Reason, and Critique of Judgment, are
known worldwide. During his time, schools of Kantianism quickly
sprang up and were later joined by schools of Neokantianism.
Admittedly, not all of Kant's concepts have aged well, but many are
still taught among the basics of philosophy today and therefore
must be known by every student. The A to Z of Kant and Kantianism
provides a comprehensive dictionary that will aid not only
students, but also teachers and the general public, since it
contains hundreds of entries describing Kant's life and works, and
explaining his concepts as well as the contributions of his
followers (and also some opponents). Furthermore, much of the
writings of the Neokantians, as well as the literature dealing with
this movement, are not available in English, thus, this book
provides an introduction to this phenomenon to the English-language
reader. Given the inevitable problems of language, the glossary is
particularly helpful, while the bibliography makes the massive
amounts of literature more accessible.
Immanuel Kant was one of the most significant philosophers of the
modern age. Historical Dictionary of Kant and Kantianism, Second
Edition contains a chronology, an introduction, appendixes, and an
extensive bibliography. The dictionary section has over 500
cross-referenced entries on key terms of Kant's philosophy, Kant's
major works and cover his most important predecessors and
successors, concentrating especially on the relation of these
thinkers to Kant himself. This book is an excellent resource for
students, researchers, and anyone wanting to know more about
Immanuel Kant.
