Abstract

An orthodox review of work on kant from 1955 to 1965 concentrating on (1) the continental school, Holding kant's interest to be in founding a practical-Dogmatic metaphysics, With its main work being done on the early period, Things in themselves, And the categories; (2) questions about the fischer-Trendelenburg controversy on the relation of "transcendentally ideal" to "transcendentally real"; (3) english work throwing light on the aesthetic and on the analytic, With the still obsessive concern for the second analogy; (4) the continuing debate on whether the categorical imperative is a moral criterion, And its relation to the golden rule; and (5) the important work on the concepts of freedom and the highest good
