While it is generally acknowledged that Kant does not regard reason as a purely instrumental faculty, but sees it as endowed with its own essential interests, this book is the first to explain how the notion of the interests of reason lies at the heart of his philosophical project - and how it allows us to make sense of some of the most puzzling aspects of his practical philosophy UR - https://doi.org/10.1515/9783110423228 UR - https://www.degruyter.com/isbn/9783110423228 UR - https://www.degruyter.com/document/cover/isbn/9783110423228/original ER -
