Recenzii

Thorpe examines Kant thematically rather than chronologically. Each entry expounds on a concept's meaning and relationship to the work in which it is found; many entries also examine Kant's other works and key concepts. The author accomplishes this contextualization by providing plenty of see [sic] references that thematically relate entries to one another. Though this work is shorter than most comparable dictionaries, readers who are newly acquainted with Kant's works and ideas (the work's primary audience) will benefit from the concise, well-written, approachable text, which is less overwhelming than other, similar works.
