Author Biography: Beatrice Longuenesse

Book Synopsis

"Béatrice Longuenesse's new book is a thorough reconsideration of Kant's first Critique, animated by Kant's greatest philosophical ambitions and informed by the best erudition, superior philosophical intelligence, and close textual fidelity. Kant and the Capacity to Judge will prove to be an important and influential event in Kant studies and in philosophy."—Robert B. Pippin, University of Chicago

"Longuenesse develops points that few commentators have developed, and she does this in a very convincing and detailed way."—Richard E. Aquila, University of Tennessee

Henry Allison - Inquiry

Béatrice Longuenesse has written a bold, important, and exciting book concerning the major arguments of the Transcendental Analytic. Moreover, the entire work is organized around a central thesis that runs directly counter to most contemporary readings of the Critique. . . . I think that it is fair to say that from now on no serious interpreter will be able to ignore either the 'guiding thread' itself or her analysis of it.
