Author Description

"This brief and lucid synopsis of Kant's critical philosophy is written in the hope that it will make reading of Kant a little easier--a hope which is not disappointed. The book expounds the principal theses of Kant's theoretical & practical philosophy & of his philosophy of beauty & purpose. Altho Prof. Kemp's main aim is with the exposition of Kant's meaning, he also clearly indicates on the one hand the extent of Kant's originality, on the other the extent of his dependence on his philosophical predecessors & the science & morality of his day."--Times Literary SupplementAbbreviations & ReferencesIntroductionThe conditions of knowledgeThe illusions of speculative metaphysicsPractical philosophyAesthetics & teleologyConclusionRecommended ReadingIndex of SubjectsIndex of Names
