Scepticism in the Eighteenth Century: Enlightenment, Lumières, Aufklärung

The Age of Enlightenment has often been portrayed as a dogmatic period on account of the veritable worship of reason and progress that characterized Eighteenth Century thinkers. Even today the philosophes are considered to have been completely dominated in their thinking by an optimism that leads to dogmatism and ultimately rationalism. However, on closer inspection, such a conception seems untenable, not only after careful study of the impact of scepticism on numerous intellectual domains in the period, but also as a result of a better understanding of the character of the Enlightenment. As Giorgio Tonelli has rightly observed: “the Enlightenment was indeed the Age of Reason but one of th...

Rethinking Kant Volume 7

The questions Kant poses have endured because they get at the heart of the philosophical endeavour. The continued importance of these questions is what calls for rethinking Kant in light of contemporary philosophical debates. The essays collected in this volume range from reconsidering some of the results of reason’s critique of itself to determining the role of feeling in Kant’s account of moral judgment. The last section pays particular attention to Kant’s relationship to various other figures in the history of philosophy. Together they highlight the significance of Kant for the ever-broadening landscape of philosophy in the twenty-first century.

Critique in German Philosophy

Critique has been a central theme in the German philosophical tradition since the eighteenth century. The main goal of this book is to provide a history of this concept from its Kantian inception to contemporary critical theory. Focusing on both canonical and previously overlooked texts and thinkers, the contributors bring to light alternative conceptions of critique within nineteenth- and twentieth-century German philosophy, which have profound implications for contemporary philosophy. By offering a critical revision of the history of modern European philosophy, this book raises new questions about what it means for philosophy to be "critical" today.

Body and Practice in Kant

Kant is conceived to have offered little attention to the fact that we experience the world in and through our bodies. Arguing that this image of Kant is wrong, and that his work "Critique of Pure Reason" may be read as a critical reflection aimed at exploring some significant philosophical implications of the fact that human life is embodied.

Sceptical Doubt and Disbelief in Modern European Thought

This volume examines modern scepticism in all main philosophical areas: epistemology, science, metaphysics, morals, and religion.

The book includes a look both at the relationship between Montaigne and Pascal and at Montaigne’s criticism of religious rationalism. It turns its attention to an investigation into the links between ancient scepticism and Bacon’s Doctrine of the Idols, as well as into the ancient problem of the criterion in Cartesian philosophy. Next, three essays focus on more general to...
