In this innovative study, the author argues that we can only understand the deduction of the categories in Kant's "Critique of Pure Reason" in terms of his attempt to fathom the psychological prerequisites of thought.

Man, Kant claimed, is a 'being of needs' that are not met by nature as man's due but only through his own strenuous and imperfect efforts. This book is the first to examine Kant's understanding of the relation between man and nature as it bears on his theory of right. It sheds new and important light on Kant's politics and on his place in the history of liberal thought. Its sustained consideration of the theory of right also contributes to a newly integrated view of Kant's philosophy as a whole. The Rights of Reason proceeds from a discussion of Kant's pre-critical understanding to a consideration of the critiques of pure and practical reason. The final chapter, a selective commentary on Kant's Doctrine of Right, explores in detail the implications of his theory of right for his politics and theory of knowledge. Students of philosophy, political and social theorists, and those interested in the history of liberal thought in particular and intellectual history in general will welcome this thoughtful and significant examination of Kant's philosophy.

A new theory of how and why we cooperate, drawing from economics, political theory, and philosophy to challenge the conventional wisdom of game theory Game theory explains competitive behavior by working from the premise that people are self-interested. People don't just compete, however; they also cooperate. John Roemer argues that attempts by orthodox game theorists to account for cooperation leave much to be desired. Unlike competing players, cooperating players take those actions that they would like others to take-which Roemer calls "Kantian optimization." Through rigorous reasoning and modeling, Roemer demonstrates a simpler theory of cooperative behavior than the standard model provides.

The concept of spontaneity is central to Kant's philosophy, yet Kant himself never dealt with it explicitly. Instead it was presented as an insoluble problem concerning human reason. The ambiguity surrounding his approach to this problem is surprising when one considers that he was a philosopher who based his theoretical programme on the critique of the faculties of knowledge, feeling and desire. However, this ambiguity seems to have avoided up to now any possible critique. This highly original book presents the first full-length study of the problem of spontaneity in Kant. Marco Sgarbi demo

La diffusione della nuova filosofia kantiana nella cultura russa fu singolarmente precoce: anche le Accademie ecclesiastiche ortodosse furono coinvolte in questo processo, nonostante il controllo esercitato dalla censura a difesa della tradizione metafisica e teologica. La storia e le fonti della "filosofia delle Accademie ecclesiastiche" vengono esaminate anche attraverso l'analisi degli scritti di due autori (I.Ja. Vetrinskij e di P.D. Jurkevič), che, reagendo alla "rivoluzione" kantiana, attestano la precisa consapevolezza della imprescindibilità di un confronto reale con il criticismo. L'indagine sulla ricezione è completata da un'appendice dedicata alle complesse vicende degli studi kantiani in lingua russa durante i decenni segnati dalla parabola del regime sovietico.
