Abstract

244 J OURNAL OF M ORAL P HILOSOPHY 3.2 (2006) noted above, a metaphysics of human morals , so too now philosophical reflection in general has become philosophy of human nature , thereby bringing to full consumma- tion Kant’s so-called ‘Copernican Revolution’, and the turn to the human subject as the main topic of philosophical investigation as initiated by the 1781 Critique of Pure Reason itself. Overall, this collection represents an impressive, in-depth exploration of an area of Kantian ethics typically neglected by the standard literature. This is a welcome addition to Kant scholarship, with its chief merits consisting not only in its philoso- phically and historically informed treatment of a wide range of issues, but also in the fact that it leaves intriguingly unresolved many debates between the commen- tators themselves, thereby providing ample room for further exploration of these issues as well as raising many new questions for future investigations of Kant’s anthropology in general.
