Product Description

Review

" Howard Caygill is a find Kant scholar and a superb reader of the history of philosophy, which makes him well–qualified to carry out the unenviable task of constructing a Kant Lexicon. What he has come up with is an immensely readable and instructive text, written with great lucidity and acumen, and executed with a clear sense of purpose and commitment." Keith Ansell Pearson, Journal of Nietzsche Studies, Issue 11


Product Description

In this new lexical survey of Kant′s works, Howard Caygill presents Kantian concepts and terminology in terms that will introduce and clarify his ideas for students and general readers alike.

First Sentence
The distinction between a priori and posteriori in the century before Kant was used to distinguish between modes of logical demonstration: 'When the mind reasons from causes to effects, the demonstration is called a priori; when from effects to causes, the demonstration is called a posteriori' (Arnauld, 1662, p. 301). Read the first page

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful! Essential tool for any reader of Kant, 26 Mar 2007
A few years ago I tried to read Kemp Smith's translation of Kant's Critique of Pure Reason and ground to a halt after about a hundred pages, feeling very confused. Recently, I decided to try again with Pluhar's newer translation. This was a happy choice, as it is blessed with a fine introduction and is a far more consistent translation. But I still found the book too difficult, and therefore started dipping into the secondary literature. This included the guidebooks by Gardner & Kemp Smith, and half a dozen others. They only added to the confusion because they are often (i) as difficult to read as Kant (ii) Not detailed enough (iii) Pushing their own views. Fortunately I came across this dictionary which is an amazing work of scholarship. The main problem with Kant, I feel, is that he uses words like "category" and "cognition" without defining them. And his definitions are very different from the common understanding of these words today. The, in reprospect obvious, solution is to use a dictionary that provides Kant's definitions. This is what Caygill does. He often produces a short essay when defining key words, because you need to know, for example, how Aristotle and others, defined category before you can understand Kant's definition. So although his entries might seem lengthy at times, this approach is usually necessary.

So forget all the misleading gudebooks, use this dictionary to guide you when you can't understand Kant's meaning. With its help I managed to finish Kant's magnum opus with, from my viewpoint, an adequate understanding.
