Preface
WhatwenowcallArtificialIntelligencedidnotyetexistinKant’stime,oratleast
only in an extremely rudimentary form. However, this does not preclude the
questionofwhatKantwouldhavethoughtaboutArtificialIntelligenceor,more
generally, how one can judge the claims and limits of Artificial Intelligence on
thebasisofKantianphilosophy.Anditcertainlydoesnotprecludepursuingthe
question, conversely, of how one can evaluate the claims of Kant and Kantian
philosophyfromtheperspectiveofArtificialIntelligence.
The contributions in this volume deal with both questions. We thank the
