Kant and the Subject of Critique

Avery Goldman is Associate Professor of Philosophy at DePaul University.

. . . original, interesting, important . . . .(Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews) Goldman deserves credit for providing a sustained and resourceful argument that shows the importance of the notion of the subject for comprehending Kant's transcendental method. For this reason, the present volume should interest both Kant scholars and those interested in the German idealist tradition.(Journal of the History of Philosophy) Goldman has written an important book that addresses the metacritical objection to Kant—that in his inquiry into the conditions of knowledge, he makes cognitive and metaphysical claims that exceed the limits of cognition that the first Critique establishes.(The Review of Metaphysics)
