Editat de Dr Gary Banham, Dr Dennis Schulting, Nigel Hems
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 28 ian 2015
Immanuel Kant is widely considered to be the most important and influential thinker of modern Europe and the late Enlightenment. His philosophy is extraordinarily wide-ranging and his influence has been pervasive throughout eighteenth, nineteenth and twentieth-century thought, in particular in the work of the German Idealists, and also in both Analytic and Continental philosophy today.Now available as a new and expanded edition in paperback, this accessible companion to Kant features more than 100 specially commissioned entries, written by a team of experts in the field, covering every aspect of his philosophy. The Bloomsbury Companion to Kant presents a comprehensive overview of the historical and philosophical context in which Kant wrote and the various features, themes and topics apparent in his thought. It also includes extensive synopses of all his major published works and a survey of the key lines of reception and influence including a new addition on Schopenhauer's reception of Kant. It concludes with a thorough bibliography of English language secondary literature, now expanded for this edition to include all cutting-edge publications in the area. This is an essential and practical research tool for those working in the field of eighteenth-century German philosophy and Kant.

Recenzii

This is a tremendously useful volume, including a valuable Introduction and an impressively thorough bibliography, detailed accounts of the individual works, sections on figures of influence, philosophical and historical context, and the reception and influence of Kant to the present, together with an encyclopedia of entries on key themes and topics. It will be of benefit to all interested in Kant on any level.
Eschewing the typically lengthy essays written by eminent Kant scholars, this collection is built like a true reference source. It features brief, alphabetical, cross-referenced articles written by dozens of lesser-known scholars on hundreds of core concepts and aimed squarely at novice researchers.
This handy volume consists of more than one hundred entries from thirty-six authors...The expositions of the main points in Kant's writings are very extensive (e.g., 17 pages on the Critique of Pure Reason), balanced and precise, and they also place Kant's works within the contemporary setting in which they originated...The fact that all areas of Kant's thought are so well integrated across theoretical and practical divisions, and also updated in accordance with recent contributions to Kant scholarship, is a further strength. No doubt, it is the large team of international Kant experts behind the companion, with a broad spectrum of interests and specialities, that has made this feasible. Among these are representatives of a new generation with a fresh approach to key elements in Kant's philosophy...The Continuum Companion to Kant - with its accessible and inviting style of presentation - is definitely a very welcome addition to the growing body of general guides to Kant's philosophy. It accords a uniquely analytic focus to the context of Kant's views through separate entries that zoom in on specific influences and connections at a very detailed level...wise editorial choices [that] have ensured overall coherence and completeness.
This companion provides a solid guide for how to address such work, and understanding such influences (obscure or unknown to most non-specialists) and helps to shed light on certain idiosyncrasies in Kant's writing...the text provides very strong support with full citations for further research provided. For those looking for a bibliography of significant resources relating to Kant, this companion will provide plenty of support...those prepared with some familiarity should find much toengage with and to take up for further engagement.
