The Legacy of Kant in Contemporary Philosophy
Critical Perspectives and New Responses
Description
A collection of essays examining the topicality of Kant's thought and its impact on the development of contemporary philosophy.
How can Kant's philosophy inspire us to search for new solutions to problems in contemporary debates? Which Kantian ideas, if any, are still relevant? Should we re-evaluate Kantian ideas from the perspective of the current state of philosophy, and if so, in what way?
Written in the year of his 300th birthday, this collection addresses these questions and examines the topicality of Kant's thought and its impact on the development of contemporary philosophy. With renowned scholars approaching Kant's philosophy from multiple perspectives spanning across Science and Metaphysics, Perspectives on Mind, Moral Faith and Rational Religion, and Enlightenment, the essays here demonstrate a still-live intertwinement of Kant's thought and ongoing philosophical debates. They shed new light on Kant's major influence on key thinkers of the 20th century, from Heidegger to Rawls, from Sellars to McDowell, and how his ideas continue to inform issues in metaphysics, philosophy of mind, ethics, political and moral philosophy, and philosophy of religion.
Speaking to the enduring relevance of Kant's legacy, this collection affirms Kant not only holds historical value as a philosopher of the past, but his ideas are still fruitful and offer valuable insights into philosophical problems today.
