<p>“Kantian theories of law and politics are not well understood in English-language philosophy, which has tended to ignore Kant’s actual writings on these topics in favor of his more foundational ethical works, from which philosophers often draw erroneous inferences about what the ‘Kantian’ view must be on issues of applied ethics and political philosophy. Höffe’s book is a much-needed presentation of a contemporary Kantian position by a leading German philosopher of law, containing a thoughtful critical response to the positions of Rawls and Habermas. Migotti’s translation is smooth, accurate, and a scholarly achievement all by itself.”</p><p>—Allen Wood, Stanford University</p>
<p>“The book offers a highly interesting critical reinterpretation and defense of Kant’s doctrine of right.”</p><p>—Lars Vinx <i>Ethics</i></p>
