Abstract
In the Introduction, the editors begin by sketching an overview of recent scholarship on Kant’s anthropology in order to provide a framework for the contributors’ essays. Broadly speaking, this scholarship falls into two categories: historical work on the origins of Kant’s anthropology and conceptual work on its relation to other parts of his philosophical system. They conclude by offering a brief summary of each of the nine essays in the volume.
