Hegel's Critique of Kant (Modern Revivals in Philosophy)

A landmark in modern Kant and Hegel scholarship, Hegel's Critique of Kant examines Hegel's engagement with Kant over the central problems of Western philosophy: the possibility of metaphysics, subjectivity and objectivity, the individual and the social, freedom and necessity, the nature of politics, ethics and history and the powers of dialectical reason. It is indispensible reading, not only for anyone trying to solve philosophical problems or reading the history of thought, but for anyone interested in the possible future of philosophy itself.

Despite the rapid growth of interest in Hegel among English-speaking philosophers, surprisingly little has been directed at Hegel's relationship toward Kant. This collection of essays by eleven eminent philosophers meets this deficiency by critically examining Hegel's attitude to Kant over a wide range of issues: the nature of space and time; the possibility of metaphysics, categories, and things-in-themselves; dialectic and the self; moral and political philosophy; aesthetics; the philosophy of history, and teleology. All the essays provide channels to a fuller understanding of the forks of theoretical deviation between Hegel and Kant.

Until now little work has been produced on the relationship between the philosophies of Hegel and Kant. These essays critically examine Hegel's attitude to Kant over a wide range of issues.
