The Usefulness of the Kantian Philosophy

Book excerpt: Editorial Advisory Board: Karl Ameriks (Notre Dame, USA), Daniel Breazeale (Kentucky, USA), Martin Bondeli (Bern, Switzerland), Claude Pich (Montreal, Canada), George di Giovanni (Montreal, Canada), Faustino Fabbianelli (Parma, Italy), Marion Heinz (Siegen, Germany), Alexander von Sch nborn (Missouri, USA) The series Reinholdiana consists of monographs and collected volumes dealing with the philosophy of Karl Leonhard Reinhold. In recent years Reinhold has become the focus of increasing scholarly attention. On the one hand this is due mainly to the important role he plays in the earliest reception of Immanuel Kant's critical philosophy, but on the other hand it is also the result of the various new editions and translations of his work. The influence that Reinhold had on contemporary understanding of Kant means that his work serves as a bridge between Kant and German idealism. The series deliberately places no emphasis on any particular scholarly method. The intention is to provide rapidly growing international interest in research on Reinhold with a high-profile academic publication platform.
