They also somewhat carelessly remark that Kant's critical philosophy led to "the collapse of rationalism" (9). For example, Dudley and Engelhard present Hume as an anti-enlightenment thinker (5) and a causal determinist (6), as if these were perfectly obvious and uncontested interpretive claims. This is particularly evident in the editors' general introduction, which situates Kant in the broader historical and philosophical context. ![]() While this is appropriate given the intended audience of the work, at times some contributors take this too far. ![]() Indeed, a driving desideratum of the work seems to be to avoid getting bogged down in fine points of interpretation. But because the present volume is evidently more oriented towards students, it is less scholarly than other works in the same genre, such as the three volumes devoted to Kant in the Cambridge Companion series or Graham Bird's A Companion to Kant. As such, it falls into a growing genre, in which the work of an important figure in the history of philosophy is parcelled out among contemporary experts for discussion and interpretation. This book is a collective commentary that aims to provide an accessible introduction to Kant's critical-period philosophy. ![]() ![]() My Heart is on the Ground (By:Ann Rinaldi) ![]() ![]() Voyage on the Great Titanic: The Diary of Margaret Ann Brady, R.M.S.
