Beyleveld, Deryck

The sole fact of pure reason : Kant's quasi-ontological argument for the categorical imperative / Deryck Beyleveld and Marcus Düwell. - Berlin : De Gruyter, 2020. - vii, 209 p. ; 25 cm. - Kantstudien .

Includes bibliographical references and index.

This book offers a thorough analysis of Kant's justification of the categorical imperative. It challenges the prevailing interpretation of Kant’s views by arguing that he never relinquished the position expressed in his Groundwork. What sets the book apart is its approach of situating Kant’s argument within the broader context of his transcendental philosophy, which is crucial for understanding it as an argument rooted in human agential self-understanding.
