Abstract
In a new reading of Immanuel Kant’s work, this book
interrogates his notions of the imagination and
anthropology, identifying these – rather than the
problem of reason – as the two central pivoting
orientations of his work. Such an approach allows a
more complex understanding of his criticalphilosophical
program to emerge, which includes his
accounts of reason, politics and freedom as well as
subjectivity and intersubjectivity, or sociabilities.
Examining Kant’s theorisation of the complexity of our
phenomenological existence, the author explores his
transcendental move that includes reason and
understanding whilst emphasising the importance of
the faculty of the imagination to undergird both,
before moving to consider Kant’s pluralised,
transcendental notion of freedom.
