Abstract

"On _Critique of Pure Reason_: The text rendered by Pluhar is the work of an expert translator... the virtues of his text are manifold; his translation exhibits an incontrovertible mastery of both English and German. Equally important is the fact that Pluhar has given the original a very close read during the act of translating.... Pluhar consistently resists the tendency to translate woodenly word-for-word.... In point of fact, accuracy of translation stands in no direct relation to literalness; it is much more a product of meticulous textual reading and skilful writing, and in this respect Pluhar has no modern equals in English Kant translation." --James Jakob Fehr, _Kant-Studien_
