Description

Jonathan Bennett's study of Kant's Dialectic examines the second half of the Critique of Pure Reason, focusing on issues surrounding substance, the self, the cosmos, freedom and the existence of God.

This complex and important part of Kant's work is made accessible to students through Bennett's critical assessment, which approaches Kant from the standpoint of contemporary analytical philosophy. The book also includes extended comparative discussions with related work by influential predecessors such as Descartes and Leibniz.

Bennett's purpose is not to provide a historical account, but rather to engage in philosophical discussion, identifying key arguments and issues that continue to be relevant today.
