Rethinking Kant

The series Rethinking Kant bears witness to the richness and vitality of Kantian studies in North America. The collection is unique in its kind, for it garners papers from a whole generation of Kantian thought, ranging from doctoral students and recent PhDs, to up-and-coming young scholars, to some well-established and influential players in the field. This combination is designed to take the pulse of current Kantian scholarship in the US and rethink its fundamentals. This is the second volume in the series. It contains papers from three regional study groups of the North American Kant Society. Contributions tackle some of the most important and controversial themes in Kantâ (TM)s philosophy: the relation between concepts and intuitions; Humeâ (TM)s influence on Kant; the strengths and weaknesses of moral constructivism; Kantâ (TM)s theory of moral feeling; the faultlines within Kantâ (TM)s political philosophy; the role of cosmopolitanism in moral progress; the systematic function of the Critique of Judgment; and Kantâ (TM)s alleged racism. Some critical, other exegetical or apologetic, these essays show a sustained effort to rethink Kant and explain his inescapable influence on contemporary philosophical debates.
