Thomas Khurana is Professor of Philosophy and Director of the Center for Post-Kantian Philosophy at the University of Potsdam. He held visiting appointments as Humboldt Fellow at the University of Chicago, Heisenberg Fellow and Max Kade Professor at Yale.

'Khurana's gem of a book epitomizes the power of doing philosophy through careful, critical reflection on its history. Drawing on a thorough command of Kant, Hegel, and broad range of more recent figures, Khurana offers an innovative take on the Idealists' insights into both the principles and the actualization of freedom – understood as the freedom of living, not merely thinking or acting, beings.' Sebastian Rand, Georgia State University
