Kant’s Shorter Writings: Critical Paths Outside the Critiques

This collection highlights the importance of Kants shorter writings, which span the entire intellectual career of this seminal thinker. It contrasts with other philosophical studies of Kants work, which typically focus on a specific period of his career, and on either his theoretical philosophy or his practical philosophy. These shorter works offer a framework for understanding several central questions of critical philosophy in the context of Kants complete corpus of writings. As such, this volume provides a ground-breaking approach to contemporary Kant studies by offering a new interpretive perspective to enable Kant scholars to advance their research projects. At the same time, it allows a general overview of Kants work for a broader non-scholarly audience interested in his critical philosophy and its context.
