Summary
The aim of this volume is to showcase a distinctive approach to interpreting Kant’s writings, which emphasizes those elements in his thinking that derive from the Scholastic-Aristotelian tradition. We call instances of this approach Aristotelian Readings of Kant (ARs). In this introduction, we set out central characteristics of the approach and give an overview of the essays collected here.
