From the rear cover

Richard L. Velkley offers a new interpretation of the central issues of Kant's philosophy and a new evaluation of its position within the history of modern philosophy. He persuasively argues that the whole of Kantianism, not merely the 'Second Critique, ' is really a 'critique of practical reason' and a response to a problem Kant saw as intrinsic to reason: the teleological problem of reason's goodness. By stressing a Rousseau--inspired notion of reason as a provider of practical ends, Velkley also is able to offer an unusually compete account of Kant's idea of moral culture.
