Descripción del artículo del vendedor

Hardcover, xv + 264 pages, NOT ex-library. Clean and bright throughout with unmarked text, free of inscriptions and stamps, firmly bound. Minor external handling wear. Issued without a dust jacket. -- In a short chapter of the Critique of Practical Reason entitled "On the Typic of the Pure Practical Power of Judgment," Kant addresses a crucial problem facing his theory of moral judgment: How can we represent the supersensible moral law so as to apply it to actions in the sensible world? Despite its importance to Kant's project, previous studies of the Typic have been fragmentary, disparate, and contradictory. This book provides a detailed commentary on the Typic, elucidating how it enables moral judgment by means of the law of nature, which serves as the 'type', or analogue, of the moral law. In addition, the book situates the Typic, both historically and conceptually, within Kant's theory of symbolic representation. While many commentators have assimilated the Typic to the aesthetic notion of 'symbolic hypotyposis' in the third Critique, the author contends that it has greater continuities with the theoretical notion of 'symbolic anthropomorphism' in the Prolegomena. As the first comprehensive, book-length study of the Typic that critically engages with the secondary literature, this monograph fills an important gap in the research on Kant's ethics and aesthetics and provides a starting point for further inquiry and debate. -- Contents: Introduction; Commentary: -- 1. The task [Objects of pure practical reason and the concepts of good and evil; Moral appraisal] 2. The particular difficulties [Construals of the problem in the secondary literature; Representational mismatch: sensible intuitions vs. supersensible Ideas] 3. The resources [Schematism and the imagination; 'Schema of a law itself'; The law of nature and the understanding] 4. The solution [Overcoming the 'particular difficulties'; Accomplishing the task] 5. The outcome and effectiveness [Typic's heuristic effectiveness for the 'common understanding; Typic's protective functions] 6. The typic and symbolic hypotyposis [Symbolist interpretation of the Typic chapter; Critical assessment of the symbolist interpretation; Against aestheticizing the Typic; Conclusion] 7. The typic and symbolic anthropomorphism ['Symbolic anthropomorphism' in the Prolegomena; Symbolic anthropomorphism and Aquinas' doctrine of analogical predication; Symbolic anthropomorphism and symbolic hypotyposis; Symbolic anthropomorphism and the typic; Conclusion]; Conclusion: 1 Summary of Part One 2 Summary of Part Two 3 The Typic in the evolution of Kant's thought; Works Cited; Appendices: I. German text of the Typic chapter II. English translation of the Typic chapter; Index of names; Subject index.…
