Corey W. Dyck presents a new account of Kant's criticism of the rational investigation of the soul in the Critique of Pure Reason, in light of its eighteenth-century German context. He reinterprets the aims and results of the Paralogisms, and illuminates Kant's discussion of the soul's substantiality, simplicity, personality, and existence.

'Mr Bennett, as was to be expected, has written a first-rate book on Kant's Analytic. It is vivid, entertaining, and extremely instructive. It will be found of absorbing interest both by those who already know the Critique and by those - if there are any such - who have a developed interest in philosophy, yet no direct acquaintance with Kant. These last it will surely drive to the text and, as surely, will drive them to approach it in a truly philosophical spirit. Bennett's Kant is not a giant immersed, or frozen, in time. He is a great contemporary - a little out of touch, admittedly, with recent developments in mathematics and physics - but one with whom we can all argue, against him, at his side, or obliquely to him. And so Bennett does argue, continuously, fiercely, and fruitfully; and summons to join in the argument, at appropriate moments, those older contemporaries, Locke, Leibniz, Berkeley, and Hume, and those younger contemporaries, Wittgenstein, Ryle, Ayler, Quine, Quinton, Warnock, and others. This is splendid, and a necessary corrective to that extraordinary isolation in which Kant tends to be islanded, partly indeed, by his own unique qualities, but partly by oceans of the wrong kind of respect. Bennett, continuously engaging his great antagonist, shows the right kind.'

This Element surveys the place of the Critique of Pure Reason in Kant's overall philosophical project and describes and analyzes the main arguments of the work. It also surveys the developments in Kant's thought that led to the first critique, and provides an account of the genesis of the book during the 'silent decade' of its composition in the 1770s based on Kant's handwritten notes from the period.

Everything you need to know about Kant's Critique of Pure Reason in one volume.The Critique is one of the most written-about texts in the history of philosophy, however, it is also notoriously difficult to read. Burnham and Young unravel Kant's text passage-by-passage, making the reading and appreciation of the primary work achievable. Designed to be read alongside Kant, this approach will be helpful for students and lecturers alike

Abstract
Recent publications (Henrich, Seeberg) claim that Kant has been profoundly influenced by contemporary publications on juridical deductions. I try to show, that this cannot be right. The introductory note of the "Transcendental Deduction" (Critique of Pure Reason A 84) poses two questions: "quid facti?" and "quid juris?". The first is answered by the demonstration of the possibility of relations between pure concepts and pure intuition und sensations, the second by the implicit refutation of David Hume. Kant and his interpreters sustain the possibility of using juridical concepts, that are neither related to real juridical facts nor are only metaphers, but have a special philosophical signification. But what should that be?

Kant benutzt das Theorem vom höchsten Gut bereits in der Kritik der reinen Vernunft (1781). Aber erst mit der präziseren Bestimmung des Unterschieds von praktischer Vernunft und reiner praktischer Vernunft in der Kritik der praktischen Vernunft von 1788 kann auch das höchste Gut (in seiner doppelten Interpretation von ursprünglichem und abgeleitetem höchsten Gut) so interpretiert werden, dass gesellschaftspolitische Implikationen deutlich werden. Dann erst kann es weder allein ins Jenseits gesetzt noch bloß in der Sinnenwelt als realisiert – wie es die prototypischen Individualethiken "Epikureismus" und "Stoizismus" tun müssen – gedacht werden.

The way in which we read Kant''s Critique of Pure Reason has profound consequences for our understanding of his thought in relation to the work of other thinkers. Kant, Deleuze and Architectonics presents a unified reading of this text in order to respond to the concerns surrounding the method and arguments Kant employs. In showing us how the ''first critique'' comes to make greater sense when read as a whole or in terms of its ''architectonic'' unity, Edward Willatt breathes new life into a text often considered rigid and artificial in its organisation. On the basis of this reading, Kant''s
