Review


In detail, and with great clarity and fairness, Guyer compares [Kant's and Hume's] respective treatments of scepticism, of the major concepts of causation, objects, and the self, of practical philosophy and of the philosophy of taste. Guyer shows that the match is by no means as one-sided as the usual view maintains. -- Simon Blackburn, Times Higher Education


Guyer is noted for his Kant scholarship . . . The present book, whose subtitle best expresses its content, is a collection of five previously published essays, somewhat reworked, which range over themes that occupied both Kant and Hume. This is done with magisterial competence. -- M.A. Bertman, Choice


Guyer's book provides a masterful reconstruction of the systematic ambition of Kant's critical philosophy and of the third Critique in particular. In addition, he underlines the essential openness and modesty of the Kantian system that is due to Kant's unwavering insistence on the limits of the human powers of cognition--a point that was not heeded by his immediate successors and is often only poorly understood even today. -- Peter Gilgen, Monatshefte

From the Inside Flap


"This is an excellent book. Extending the discussion of the Kant-Hume relationship to moral philosophy, teleology, and aesthetics is novel, important, and interesting. Guyer's knowledge of Kant's texts and his sensitivity to their nuances, developments, and philosophical import are evident throughout."--Eric Watkins, University of California, San Diego

"Clear and comprehensive, this book demonstrates a level of expertise in both Kant and Hume studies that would be very difficult to match. It will become required reading for scholars wanting to understand the complex relationship between these two seminal modern thinkers--in ethics and aesthetics as well as in metaphysics and epistemology. It also persuasively makes the case for thinking of Kant's agenda as at least partly dictated by a desire to respond to Hume on various issues."--Andrew Chignell, Cornell University
