(Kant and the Question of the Subject)

Table of Contents

The book offers a systematic and historically informed interpretation of Kant's conception of the subject. It discusses the issue from within the context of today's complex scholarly discussion of Kant's philosophy, as well as in the light of philosophical discussion of Kant by thinkers in both the analytic tradition (e.g. Sellars, McDowell and Brandom), and in the phenomenological, Heidegger-influenced tradition. The main issue of the book is the meaning of the subject in respect both to our world-view and to our self-consciousness in its relation to our self-knowledge as person. Kuneš connects his thinking to the interpretation developed in Germany by D. Henrich and seeks to take it in new directions.

Table of Contents

The book consists of contributions from Czech, German and Spanish scholars to the 'Introduction' of Hegel's Phenomenology of Spirit in which Hegel presents not only the overall theses and objectives of his work, but also its philosophical or methodological points of departure. Moreover, the 'Introduction' is one of the few texts where Hegel defines his overall conception of philosophy. Yet despite the text's importance, there has yet been no full-length book devoted to it. The book which appeared on the eve of the 200th anniversary of the publication of the Phenomenology of Spirit, seeks to fill this gap in Hegelian scholarship.
