Zusatztext It would be hard to imagine a more elegant point of entry into the rich interpretative tradition Accessing Kant so ably advocates. Klappentext Jay Rosenberg introduces Immanuel Kant's masterwork! the Critique of Pure Reason! from a "relaxed" problem-oriented perspective which treats Kant as an especially insightful practicing philosopher! from whom we still have much to learn! intelligently and creatively responding to significant questions that transcend his work's historical setting. Rosenberg's main project is to command a clear view of how Kant understands various perennial problems! how he attempts to resolve them! and to what extent he succeeds. At the same time the book is an introduction to the challenges of reading the text of Kant's work and! to that end! selectively adopts a more rigorous historical and exegetical stance. Accessing Kant will be an invaluable resource for advanced students and for any scholar seeking Rosenberg's own distinctive insights into Kant's work.
