Book Synopsis Symbolic Representation in Kant's Practical Philosophy by : Heiner Bielefeldt
Book excerpt: This book explores in detail the role that symbolic representation plays in the architecture of Kant's philosophy. Symbolic representation fulfills a crucial function in Kant's practical philosophy because it serves to mediate between the unconditionality of the categorical imperative and the inescapable finiteness of the human being. By showing how the nature of symbolic representation plays out across all areas of the practical philosophy--moral philosophy, legal philosophy, philosophy of history and philosophy of religion--Heiner Bielefeldt offers a unique perspective on how these various facets of Kant's philosophy cohere.
