这本书由十一篇论述康德哲学基本方面的文章组成。所有的贡献者都是著名的美国哲学家。其中九篇文章以前从未发表过，刘易斯·怀特·贝克的《我们从康德那里学到了什么？》第一次以英语出现在这里。
刘易斯·怀特·贝克、特伦斯·欧文、艾伦·W·伍德、帕特里夏·基彻、玛格丽特·D·威尔逊和菲利普·基彻都发表了重要的论文。拉尔夫·梅尔博特、乔纳森·贝内特、悉尼鞋匠、伊丽莎白·波特和查尔斯·帕森斯对每一篇主要的文章都发表了评论，但里克的文章（本质上是介绍性的）除外。其中涉及的问题包括自我和自由意志、伯克利的唯心主义、康德的自然世界观、康德的心灵哲学和科学哲学。
由于这些论文基本上避免了文本解释的狭隘问题，并且几乎完全涉及康德提出的基本哲学问题，因此本书应该在许多哲学领域的高级学生和专家中找到大量读者。
Self and Nature in Kant’s Philosophy
This book is made up of eleven essays that deal with fundamental aspects of Kant’s philosophy. All the contributors are distinguished, widely known American philosophers. Nine of the essays have never been published before, and Lewis White Beck’s “What Have We Learned from Kant?” appears here in English for the first time.
Lewis White Beck, Terence Irwin, Allen W. Wood, Patricia Kitcher, Margaret D. Wilson, and Philip Kitcher have contributed major essays. Ralf Meerbote, Jonathan Bennett, Sydney Shoemaker, Elizabeth Potter, and Charles Parsons offer commentaries on each of the major essays except Reek’s (which is introductory in nature). Among the issues addressed are those of self and free will, Berkeley’s idealism, Kant’s view of the natural world, and Kant’s philosophy of mind and philosophy of science.
Because the essays largely avoid narrow issues of textual interpretation and are almost entirely concerned with the basic philosophical issues raised by Kant, the collection should find a large readership among advanced students and specialists in many areas of philosophy.
