AB - Wayne Waxman’s A Guide to Kant's Psychologism – via Locke, Berkeley, Hume, and Wittgenstein is the successor to Kant and the Empiricists. Understanding Understanding (2005) and Kant’s Anatomy of the Intelligent Mind (2014). We find in this latest book of Waxman’s a view of Kantian philosophy framed within the group of British empiricists in which Locke, Berkeley and Hume stand out. Waxman also relates Kant’s philosophy to the Wittgensteinian concept of language games. The book is divided into two parts. The first part argues that the path to understanding Kant is psychologism and conventionalism and presents four chapters of which I would draw particular attention to “From Hume to Kant via Wittgenstein”. The second part of the book is entitled “Nature in Mind: Through Kant’s I’s” and has five chapters that constitute one unit. The conclusion gives an overview of Waxman’s main ideas. This is a brilliant book that presents an original interpretation of Kant′s philosophy and one in which Waxman discusses the fundamental problems of our understanding using a methodology of direct confrontation with the questions. The main idea of ​​the book is to consider that Kant’s critical project, far from opposing Hume’s psychologism, is actually a priori
