Two further chapters explore a prominent Hegelian conceptualist reading of Kant and Kants nonconceptualist position in the Third<i>Critique</i>. The volume also contains a helpful survey of the recent literature on Kant and nonconceptual content.</p><p></p><p><i>Kantian Nonconceptualism</i> provides a comprehensive overview of recent perspectives on Kant and nonconceptual content, and will be a key resource for Kant scholars and philosophers interested in the topic of nonconceptualism.</p>
