Politics and Metaphysics in Kant

Informationen zum Autor Dr Baiasu and Professors Philstrom and Williams are all well known and published authors within this field. Howard Williams is also general editor of the Political Philosophy Now series. Klappentext This volume features thirteen all-new! cutting-edge essays that explore the relationship between politics and metaphysics in Kant and Kantian political philosophy. The contributors engage closely with contemporary theories that derive from Kant and ultimately revisit the question of the very role of metaphysics and moral and political philosophy. Zusammenfassung The past three decades have witnessed the emergence of several Kantian theories. Both the critical reaction to consequentialism inspired by Rawlsian constructivism and the universalism of more recent theories informed by Habermasian discourse ethics trace their main sources of inspiration back to Kant's writings.
