"The Kant Dictionary" covers Kant's life and works, and its entries form an illustration of the historical nature of philosophical language. Each entry locates the origins of a particular term, how it was transmitted to Kant and how he altered it in the course of reception. Entries show how this reception was developed in subsequent debate up to the present, clarifying issues in current debates by identifying the intellectual and social history of each term. In common with other Books in this series, this work offers a contextual essay on Kant and his place in "the age of criticism", as well as an index of other philosophers cited.
