This book is a collection of articles based on a lecture series about Kant's philosophy. The contributions present an excellent overview of Kant's work - the subjects range from metaphysical, ethical, aesthetical, teleological, historical and political aspects to questions of mind, nature and education.
The common topic of all articles is the examination of Kant's current relevance in the context of modern philosophy and society. Each author gives various arguments why a close reading of Kant is still worthwhile and can make important contributions to present philosophical and social discussions.
The lecture series from which the book developed was conceived as an introduction of Kant for students but some of the articles are very profound. Therefore while students and Kant-beginners may find the texts helpful as introductory reading, philosophers and Kant-experts will also appreciate the book for opening up new perspectives on their specific field of interest.
