The Matter of Critique: Readings in Kant's Philosophy

by Andrea Rehberg (Editor), Rachel Jones (Editor)

The Matter of Readings in Kant's Philosophy is a remarkable collection of essays examining Kantian themes from the Continental perspective, collecting the best of new writing on Kant. Kant's monumental legacy continues to inspire and challenge thinkers across the whole spectrum of the humanities. While there is a steadily growing corpus of work in this field, The Matter of Readings in Kant's Philosophy is the first collection to afford a broad overview of Kant's importance to and influence on the continental philosophical tradition - the tradition which derives its impetus from Kant's project as developed and rethought by such seminal figures as Heidegger, Derrida, Irigaray, Deleuze and Lyotard. This collection will prove indispensable to academics and students not merely in philosophy, but throughout the humanities who want to understand the profound contemporary reworkings which continue to play out on classic Kantian themes.
