“Truly up-to-date overviews of Kant’s critical
philosophy are rare. Allen Wood's outstanding new study is at once
an intriguing philosophical interpretation of Kant for specialists
and an extremely clear and helpful guide for students.”
Karl Ameriks, University of Notre Dame

"Allen Wood's Kant is clearly written, and it is
accessible to a broad audience without making any sacrifice of
precision in expounding complex philosophical doctrines. It covers
all aspects of Kant’s thought and relates them, as much as is
possible within the constraints of a fairly short book, to
contemporary issues and concerns." Béatrice Longuenesse,
New York University
"Writing with both vigor and rigor, Allen Wood provides concise
and insightful accounts of Kant's theory of knowledge and critique
of traditional metaphysics, and of his moral and political
philosophy. He also paints a distinctive picture of the historical
dimension of Kant's thought: his sensitivity to the history of
philosophy, but even more importantly his recognition that
humankind itself has a history, and that its moral goals must be
achieved through the means of history and within the limits of
history." Paul Guyer, University of Pennsylvania
"Wood's Kant is an exemplary introduction to Kant's Philosophy and the issues that it raises. Undergraduate students in particular will benefit greatly from it, both as preparation for reading the primary texts and as a guide to developing a philosophical engagement with them. Teachers therefore ought not to hesitate in refering students to it and in employing Wood's stimulating interpretive and evaluative points to teaching." Tom Bailey, University of Pisa, Kantian Review
