Kant and the Continental Tradition

<p>Immanuel Kant’s work continues to be a main focus of attention in almost all areas of philosophy. The significance of Kant’s work for the so-called continental philosophy cannot be exaggerated although work in this area is relatively scant. The book includes eight chapters a substantial introduction and a postscript all newly written by an international cast of well-known authors. Each chapter focuses on particular aspects of a fundamental problem in Kant’s and post-Kantian philosophy the problem of the relation between the world and transcendence. Chapters fall thematically into three parts: sensibility nature and religion. Each part starts with a more interpretative chapter focusing on Kant’s relevant work and continues with comparative chapters which stage dialogues between Kant and post-Kantian philosophers including Martin Heidegger Hannah Arendt Jean-François Lyotard Luce Irigaray and Jacques Derrida. A special feature of this volume is the engagement of each chapter with the work of the late British philosopher Gary Banham. The Postscript offers a subtle and erudite analysis of his intellectual trajectory philosophy and mode of working. The volume is dedicated to his memory.</p>
