The essays in this volume provide new readings of Kant’s account of
human nature. Despite the relevance of human nature to Kant’s
philosophy, little attention has been paid to the fact that the
question about human nature originally pertains to pure reason. The
chapters in this volume show that Kant’s point is not to state once
and for all what the human being actually is, but to unite pure
reason’s efforts within a unitary teleological perspective. The
question about human nature is the cornerstone of reason’s unity in
its different activities and domains. Kant’s question about human
nature goes beyond our empirical inquiries to show that the notion of
humanity represents the point of convergence and unity of pure
reason’s most fundamental interests. Kant on Freedom and Human
Nature will appeal to scholars and advanced students working on
Kant’s philosophy.
