Books in the Routledge Studies in Eighteenth-Century Philosophy series

This book examines the influence of Hume, Reid, Smith, Hutcheson, and other Scottish Enlightenment thinkers on Kant's philosophy. It begins with the influence of these thinkers on Kant, then moves to an examination of the relationship between truth, freedom, and responsibility and its connection to Kant's metaphysics and aesthetics.

This book investigates various aspects of freedom as developed in the philosophical systems of Kant and Fichte.

This collection of essays challenges the prevailing assumption that eighteenth-century German philosophy prior to Kant was largely defined by post-Leibnizian rationalism and, accordingly, a low esteem of the cognitive function of the senses.

The essays disentangle complex exegetical knots that emerge in the interpretation of Kant's own views of the character of sensibility, the unity of nature, and the constitution of symbolic representation in religion.

This text charts the development of the concepts of soul and self in Western thought, from Plato to the present. It emphasizes the enormous intellectual transformation in the 18th century, when the religious "soul" was replaced first by a philosophical "self" and then by a scientific "mind".

This is a challenging exploration of the link between the work of David Hume and the eighteenth century empiricist background to the parallel history of aesthetics as it developed at the time.

The self for Kant is something real, and yet is neither appearance nor thing in itself, but rather has some third status. This book explains the 'third status' by identifying the self with intellectual action that does not arise in the progression of attending (and so is not appearance), but accompanies and unifies inner attending.

Aims to examine the extent and significance of the connection between Hume's aesthetics and his moral philosophy; and to consider how, in light of the connection, his moral philosophy answers central questions in ethics. This book concludes by showing how Hume's view of philosophy affects the scope of any normative ethics.

This collection of essays re-examines traditional interpretations of the rise of modern aesthetics in eighteenth-century Britain and Germany. It provides a new account that connects aesthetic experience with morality, science, and political society.
