Force and Freedom

Arthur Ripstein

“This masterful treatment of Kant’s legal and political philosophy gets to the heart of Kant’s endeavor and its virtues with wonderful clarity—a terrific achievement. We learn from Ripstein both how Kant’s legal and political philosophy is best understood and how this philosophy can be defended and employed in ongoing philosophical debates. I regard this as the very best kind of approach to the history of philosophy.”—A. John Simmons, University of Virginia

“This is one of the best books on Kant’s legal philosophy to appear to date. It is both an outstanding commentary on Kant and an important work of legal-political philosophy with much contemporary relevance. What is perhaps most impressive about this book is how much unity it uncovers in Kant’s legal and political thought.”—Martin J. Stone, Benjamin N. Cardozo School of Law
