Summary: Excellent Collection!
Review: If you're studying Kant for a college course, on your own, or as a scholar, this collection is quite excellent. Guyer is a major Kant interpreter, and so this anthology represents some of the best work in the field. I highly recommend this.Guyer's article here is excellent. And so is Schaper's on the Third Critique. I also recommend: Allison, Transcendental Idealism (for a sympathetic defense of Kant); Strawson, Bounds of Sense (critical); Bennett, K's Analytic (critical); Forster, Transcendental Deductions (Stanford UP); and Kitcher, K's CPR (Rowman/Littlefield). A current biography of Kant is: M. Kuehn, Kant (Cambridge UP, now in paperback).

Summary: A necessary corrective for the Anglo-Saxon Kantian fallacies
Review: Paul Guyer has done a great service to Kantian studies with his judicious editing of this anthology of essays on Kant's philosophy. By showing the balance between Kant's rationalistic background and his response to the English empiricists, the essays refute the common Anglo-American fallacy of viewing Kant as arbitrarily imposing categorical types on the objects of experience. The article on Kant's pre-critical development and philosophy is worth the price of the book alone.
