Zusatztext Hegel's Critique of Kant amply rewards the patience of those who have been eagerly awaiting a book-length treatment of the position Sally Sedgwick has been developing over a number of years through her engagement with classical German philosophy. The book offers an original thesis with characteristic clarity, fine conceptual articulation and an expository style that combines the virtues of immanent interpretations with those of reconstructive ones. Careful reading of the primary texts is put to the service of showing what is true in our philosophical past.

Klappentext Sally Sedgwick presents a fresh account of Hegel's critique of Kant's theoretical philosophy. She argues that Hegel offers a compelling critique of and alternative to the conception of cognition that Kant defended in his 'Critical' period, and explores Hegel's claim to derive from Kantian doctrines clues to a superior form of idealism. Hegels Critique of Kant is a truly exemplary work of scholarship and will hopefully become regarded quickly as a classic study on one of the most interesting yet difficult philosophical relationships one can encounter. Paul Giladi, University of Sheffield it is worth reiterating that the overall calrity and plausibility that Sedgwick brings to the roots, structure and nature of Hegel's Critiques of Kant here are going to prove a boon to anyone working in this area.
