Reviews for Kant and the Capacity to Judge: Sensibility and Discursivity in the Transcendental Analytic of the Critique of Pure Reason

A fascinating and imaginative reconstruction of Kant's theory of quantity... Longuenesse has perceptively illuminated important aspects of [the] problem lying at the heart of Kant's theory of the categories."
