Reviews

`Neo-Kantianism is enjoying a renaissance in a number of areas. Continuing debates about the fate of Kantian philosophy will benefit greatly from the richness of Beiser's account.' M. Anthony Mills, The Review of Metaphysics `Beiser has the ability to inhabit the philosophical perspective of each thinker to such a remarkable extent.' Lydia Patton, Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews Online `Recommended.' Choice `Frederick Beiser's book is a valuable contribution to the revival of neo-Kantian studies characterizing the past few years: a trend that is blowing the dust off this important, yet hitherto neglected chapter of the history of philosophy. The quality of Beiser's writing is excellent throughout, showing mastery of an impressive range of sources and treating with equal competence a variety of topics in epistemology, metaphysics, ethics, and philosophy of religion.' Andrea Staiti, Journal of the History of Philosophy
