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.

1797 appears with the metaphysical starting points of Immanuel Kant's main legal philosophy work. It is not uncommon to encounter the view that Kant's legal philosophy essentially stems from his late phase and, moreover, is difficult to reconcile with the critical moral philosophy of the 1780s. Against this background, the present study is devoted to comparing the Kantian concept of law, as introduced in the introduction to legal theory in 1797, with Kant's explanations in the lecture notes Moral-Mrongovius II and Naturrecht-Feyerabend from 1784. that the legal concept of 1797 had already been worked out in 1784. Even more: It shows that Kant's concept of law was not only in the phase of his critical moral philosophy, but was rather designed in one piece with it and how it is based on the critical concept of freedom.

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.
