Resituating Kant's work within the Western modern historical tradition provides insight into the originality of his views against the background of pervasive intellectual discussions in the 18th century.Catalina González embeds essential aspects of Kant's epistemology, metaphysics, morals, and aesthetics into philosophical debates and discussions that, although central to modernity, have not been sufficiently explored by Kantian scholarship. These contexts include disputes between skeptics and anti-skeptics, debates over deism and natural theology, controversies about animal minds, discussions on the foundations of morality, and aesthetic conversations regarding the sublime.The book's historical perspective is further supplied by a set of methodological reflections drawn from the heterogeneous field of studies of “intellectual history.” It intertwines insights from the Cambridge School of Political Thought or the German Begriffsfgeschichte, and from a wide variety of historians of philosophy, with the analysis of Kant’s texts and Kantian scholarship to provide a novel and rigorous account of the historical formation of specific aspects of Kant's thought.

With a refreshing blend of historical scholarship and philosophical insight, this new book by Catalina González Quintero--an outstanding Latin American philosopher--is bound to become an obligatory reference point for those studying Kant and modern philosophy. From Prussian Anti-Skeptics and Pascal's 'terrifying wonder',,to the rationality of animals and the reception of Cicero's De Officiis by Garve and Kant; an invigorating plethora of topics and authors is here articulated into a systematic whole that may be described as a veritable challenge to the received canon. This volume underscores the truth that good philosophy is good history of philosophy, and that good historiography of philosophy is simply good philosophy.
