In this collection of essays Béatrice Longuenesse considers
the three aspects of Kant''s philosophy, his epistemology and
metaphysics of nature, his moral philosophy and his aesthetic
theory, under one unifying standpoint: Kant''s conception of our
capacity to form judgements. She argues that the elements which
make up our cognitive access to the world - what Kant calls the
''human point of view'' - have an equally important role to play in
our moral evaluations and our aesthetic judgements. Her discussion
ranges over Kant''s account of our representations of space and
time, his conception of the logical forms of judgements, sufficient
reason, causality, community, God, freedom, morality, and beauty in
nature and art. Her book will appeal to all who are interested in
Kant and his thought.
