Nice initial reaction to the Reading Kant’s Geography collection here, saying it “looks like a pretty interesting, perspective-shifting book”.

Robert B. Louden’s Kant’s Human Being: Essays on His Theory of Human Nature is out this week. It reprints Robert’s essay from the collection, and he notes that “to a certain extent, Kant’s lectures on geography represent the last frontier for Kant scholars” (p. 192).

When Eduardo and I were first discussing the project/book, one publisher said to us it wouldn’t work, as geographers weren’t interested in Kant, and Kant scholars weren’t interested in geography. I thought then, and am more sure now, that they were wrong. We shall see, especially with the forthcoming translation of the Physical Geography in the Natural Science volume.
