Rezensionen

'This is a superb treatment of Kant's Third Critique in its entirety - in depth, in careful analysis, and in understanding in a way not articulated by others of the integration of Kant's aesthetic theory with the rest of his philosophy.' - Donald W. Crawford, University of California, Santa Barbara, USA
