- The Form of Practical Knowledge
Immanuel Kant’s claim that the categorical imperative of morality is based in practical reason has long been a source of puzzlement and doubt, even for sympathetic interpreters. In The Form of Practical Knowledge, Stephen Engstrom provides an illuminating new interpretation of the categorical imperative, arguing that we have exaggerated and misconceived Kant’s break with tradition. By developing an account of practical knowledge that situates Kant’s ethics within his broader epistemology, Engstrom’s work deepens and reshapes our understanding of Kantian ethics.

- Death and Character
- Baier goes beyond her earlier work on David Hume to reflect on a topic that links his philosophy to questions of immediate relevance—in particular, questions about what character is and how it shapes our lives. Her reading radically revises the received interpretation of Hume’s epistemology and, in particular, philosophy of mind.
