Reviews

"Moore mines Kant for ethical insight with a sensibility informed by a wide range of recent and contemporary philosophers, from Ludwig Wittgenstein through Bernard Williams and Gilles Deleuze... a particularly helpful account of Kant's philosophy of religion..." - Paul Guyer, in Times Literary Supplement"...clearly written... numerous provocative insights... readers will benefit from the way in which familiar themes have been deployed and reconfigured for the sake of a fairly audacious result. Moore derives something like a substitute for postmodernity's lost sense of a grounding metanarrative from the human capacity for sense making... [His] project might... be viewed as the effort to infuse our very tendency towards sense making with renewed dignity." - Gordon E. Michalson, in Kantian Review

'It is refreshing to encounter a book dealing with Kant's practical philosophy that does not wear its readers down with quandaries about universalizability, autonomy, and the moral law ... it is time to try something different, and Moore has certainly done that.' - Robert B. Louden, Mind

'... an exceptionally thought-provoking and serious book by one of our most technically proficient, but at the same time imaginative - in short, one of our very best - contemporary philosophers. [A] rich and engaging book.' - Alan Montefiore, Balliol College Record
