Description: Kants Political Theory by Elisabeth Ellis A collection of essays examining Immanuel Kants lectures and minor writings as well as his political essays. Offers a comprehensive introduction to Kants political thought from a position of engagement with modern political and philosophical questions. FORMAT Hardcover LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description Past interpreters of Kants thought seldom viewed his writings on politics as having much importance, especially in comparison with his writings on ethics, which (along with his major works, such as the Critique of Pure Reason) received the lions share of attention. But in recent years a new generation of scholars has revived interest in what Kant had to say about politics. From a position of engagement with todays most pressing questions, this volume of essays offers a comprehensive introduction to Kants often misunderstood political thought. Covering the full range of sources of Kants political theory-including not only the Doctrine of Right, the Critiques, and the political essays but also Kants lectures and minor writings-the volumes distinguished contributors demonstrate that Kants philosophy offers compelling positions that continue to inspire the best thinking on politics today. Aside from the editor, the contributors are Michaele Ferguson, Louis-Philippe Hodgson, Ian Hunter, John Christian Laursen, Mika LaVaque-Manty, Onora ONeill, Thomas W. Pogge, Arthur Ripstein, and Robert S. Taylor. Author Biography Elisabeth Ellis is Associate Professor of Political Science at Texas A&M University.

Especially when brought together in one volume, these essays make important contributions to the literature on Kants political philosophy."—Larry D. Krasnoff, College of Charleston"One of the really remarkable aspects of political philosophy over the last three or four decades—spanning Arendtian, Habermasian, and Rawlsian theory—has been the stunning revival of interest in Kantian political thought. Elisabeth Ellis has put together a collection of essays featuring many of the most prominent and influential contributors to recent scholarship on Kant, thereby helping us appreciate why themes from Kantian political reflection (focusing on liberal justice and autonomy) are back on the radar screen of contemporary theorists and why they are very likely to remain there."—Ronald Beiner, University of Toronto"The distinguished Kant scholar Elisabeth Ellis, who has become an expert in Kants political philosophy, has edited an impressive collection of essays. Her knowledgeable and comprehensive introduction marks only the beginning of what is a thoroughgoing examination of Kants multifaceted political theory, which has often been underestimated by scholars. All of the essays in this volume are, without exception, of outstanding scholarly quality and persuasive in their argumentation as well as in their interpretive skill."—Prof. Dr. Dr. hc mult. Otfried Höffe, University of TÜbingen"Kants Political Theory consists of nine articles as well as one of the currently richest bibliographies on Kants legal-political thought. . . . [T]he anthology provides a very good sense of the current variety of approaches to Kants theory of justice."—Helga Varden Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews"Kants Political Theory: Interpretations and Applications is a useful and thought-provoking read, no less for the proposed interpretations than for the applications of Kants theory. It is a welcome addition to the growing secondary literature on Kants legal philosophy."—Alice Pinheiro Walla International Dialogue"This is a wonderful collection. . . . We owe the fine Kant scholar Elisabeth Ellis a debt of gratitude for bringing this collection together. . . . Together [the contributors] provide a fresh new look at Kants political philosophy that no scholar of the subject should be without."—Samuel Fleischacker Social Theory and Practice"Kants Political Theory . . . ably demonstrates that Kants politics deserves close attention. The volumes nine essays take up a variety of Kantian themes (e.g., the nature and basis of justice, freedom and international community, and education) and helpfully illuminate them from different perspectives (e.g., philosophical, interpretive/textual, and historical). . . . All the essays are excellent, and many contain fresh, insightful readings of even the most familiar texts."—J.
