Summary
In recent years groundbreaking work has been done in Kant's philosophy of science, his practical philosophy, and his aesthetics. Unfortunately, due to the vast amount of specialized research, it has been difficult for scholars to keep up with developments in all of these distinct fields and Kant studies are fragmented. Kant was, however, a systematic philosopher, and so while this specialization is absolutely necessary, it makes it very hard for any one individual to grasp Kant's work as a system. This volume focuses on a single concept, the concept of community, which plays a central role in Kant's theoretical and practical philosophy, his aesthetics, and his religious thought. The articles by authors from various disciplines, who specialize in disparate aspects of Kant's work and take different approaches, will, we hope, not only fill a missing hole in the scholarship but also bring diverse approaches together and provide the reader with a more systematic view of Kant's work as a whole.
