Both Professor Höffe and the translator deserve kudos for this work. Most other introductions to Kant that I have seen are either too superficial, or they retain too much of Kant's heavy writing style (which tends to translate poorly into English), in order to be really useful. By contrast, Professor Höffe's work summarizes everything important in Kant's philosophy in a way that is both insightful and easy to read.
The organization of Professor Höffe's book is very helpful to a proper understanding of Kant's philosophy. This book discusses Kant's life work organized according to the three famous questions that Kant posed, i.e., what can I know? what ought I to do? what may I hope?. This organization retains Kant's original didactic purpose, and helps the reader understand how the conclusions of Kant's moral philosophy are directly connected with his critical analysis of reason itself. |
