The growing representation of the world's great philosophers in the Modern Library is in response to the insistent demand of readers of the series. The Philosophy of Kant now becomes a companion volume to those books which include the basic writings of such philosophers as Plato, Aristotle, St. Thomas Aquinas, Confucius, Laotse, Schopenhauer, Pascal, William James, John Dewey, Friedrich Nietzsche, Bertrand Russell, Bergson, Santayana and others.  For this work. Professor Carl Friedrich contributes a brilliant interpretive introduction to the twelve essays in this volume, chosen to convey the essence of Kant's metaphysical thought.
