The feeling of life which Kant describes as affecting us in various ways-as animating enlivening and quickening the mind-lies at the heart of Kant's philosophical project but it has remained understudied for a theme of such centrality. This volume brings together for the first time essays focused on the topic of life in Kant's work providing a wealth of perspectives and analyses ranging from the <i>Critique of Judgment</i> to Kant's early aesthetics his social and political philosophy his work connected to the body and health and his moral theory.</p>
