Since that time, interest in Kant has remained strong and Kant scholar- shiphascontinuedtoflourish.WhenthelateanddearlymissedTerry Moore,atthattimeExecutiveEditoroftheHumanitiesatCambridge University Press, first proposed this volume, he may have had in mind that the authors of the 1992 text would update their essays and that I would update the bibliography. But it seemed to me that itwouldbemoreinterestingtoproduceaverydifferentvolumethat wouldsupplementratherthansupplanttheearlierbook.Ihavebeen fortunate to be able to recruit new essays from some of the con- tributorstoTheCambridgeCompaniontoKant,althoughinmany casestheyhavewrittenontopicsdifferentfromthosetheyaddressed in that volume. And I have been equally fortunate in signing up a healthy number of new contributors, including both senior mem- bersofthecommunityofKantscholarsandseveralofthebrightest newlightsinthefield. Thisnewvolumeislargerthantheearlierbookprimarilybecause itincludesmoreextensivecoverageofKant’smoralandpoliticalphi- losophy. The aims of this Companion are also somewhat different thanthoseofthefirst.TowritethehistoryofthepositionofKantin modernphilosophy,thatis,ofbothhisresponsetopreviousphiloso- phyandhisimpactonthesubsequenthistoryofphilosophy,would betantamounttowritingacomprehensivehistoryofmodernphilos- ophy,andatthispointintimemaywellbebeyondthecapacityofany single person. But I thought that this volume could make at least a startonsuchaproject,andaccordinglyaskedthateachessayaddress boththehistoricalcontextandthehistoricalimpactoftheparticular topic in Kant that it concerns. Contributors have responded to this vii Cambridge Collections Online © Cambridge University Press, 2007 P1:JZP 052182303Xpre CB994B/Guyer 052182303X October14,2005 9:18 viii foreword charge in different ways, but all have done so in interesting ways. I therefore hope that this volume will not only introduce readers to theextraordinarybreadthaswellasdepthofKant’sthought,butalso makeastartontheprojectofassessingtheextraordinarybreadthand depthofKant’sinfluenceontheentirecourseofmodernphilosophy. In addition to Terry Moore, who has left the whole series of Cambridge Companions to the philosophers as one among the many lasting monuments to his life’s work at Cambridge Univer- sity Press, two of the contributors to the earlier Companion, Eva Schaper and J. Michael Young, have also passed away since 1992. They are all remembered here with affection and gratitude. I am also grateful to Beatrice Rehl for her unstinting support in spite of thecircumstancesinwhichsheinheritedthisproject.
