Books by Paul (Jonathan Nelson Professor of Humanities and Philosoph) Guyer

This collection of essays by one of the pre-eminent Kant scholars of our time transforms our understanding of both Kant's aesthetics and his ethics. Guyer shows that at the very core of Kant's aesthetic theory, disinterestedness of taste becomes an experience of freedom and thus an essential accompaniment to morality itself.

An account of the development and structure of central arguments of Kant's "Critique of Pure Reason" in the defence of the objective validity of such categories as substance, causation and independent existence. The author aims to place his critique in an historical context.
