Compare Kant And The Fate Of Autonomy by Karl Ameriks, Hardcover | Indigo Chapters

It has been argued that Kant's all-consuming efforts to place autonomy at the center of philosophy has had, in the long-run, the unintended effect of leading to the widespread discrediting of philosophy and of undermining the notion of autonomy itself. The result of this "Copernican revolution" has seemed to many commentators the de-centering, if not the self-destruction, of the autonomous self. Ameriks challenges the presumptions that dominate popular approaches to the concept of freedom, and to the interpretation of the relation among the Enlightenment, Kant and post-Kantian thought. | Kant And The Fate Of Autonomy by Karl Ameriks, Hardcover | Indigo Chapters
