Few aspects of Kant's political philosophy have attracted more censure than his views on revolution and the two common charges are examined here: it is said that since in general Kant opposes revolution but welcomes the French Revolution his standpoint is confused and contradictory, and further that his main argument against revolution renders the citizen helpless in the face of state violence. Are these charges justified? Drawing on neglected elements of Kant's ethical works from1784 to 1798, and highlighting his defence of inalienable human rights as well as his particular interpretation of events in France in May and June of 1789, this original analysis raises serious questions not only about the standard criticism but also the general manner in which Kant's practical philosophy has so often been approached in the scholarly literature.

To Kant, the French revolution's central events were the transfer of sovereignty to the people in 1789 and the trial and execution of the monarch in 1792-1793. Through a contextual study, this Element argues that while both events manifested the principle of popular sovereignty, the first did so in lawful ways, whereas the latter was a perversion of the principle. Kant was convinced that historical examples can help us understand political philosophy, and this Element seeks to show this in practice.

“The book is designed” writes the author in his preface, “to do the general reader a service and, of course, his demands concern the larger sweep of Kant’s thought rather than the minute details of the Critical Philosophy.” And Wenley’s style certainly corroborates this statement. His way of getting from the larger environment in which Kant lived to the circumstances in Kant’s life, and from there to his thought and its consequences, is penetrating but remarkably clear. And this clarity is evident as much in Wenley’s language as it is in the structure of the book. Attractive as all this makes the book for the general reader, Wenley’s scholarly nature does present itself at critical points making the work as useful to the Kant specialist or the historian of philosophy.

Kant's Politics in Context is the first comprehensive contextual study of Kant's legal and political philosophy. It gives an account of the development of his thought before, during, and after the French revolution. Reidar Maliks argues that Kant provided a philosophical defence of the revolution's republican ideals while aiming to avoid the twin dangers of anarchy and despotism. Central to this was a concept of equal freedom, constituted by legal rights and duties within a state. The close connection between freedom and the rule of law accounts for the centrality of the state in Kants thought. That Kant idealized the public sphere is well known, but that he intentionally developed his own philosophy in polemical essays and pamphlets aimed for a wide audience has not been fully appreciated. Maliks shows how our understanding of Kant's political philosophy can be enriched through paying attention to the discussions he sparked during the 1790swhere radical followers including Fichte, Erhard, and Bergk clashed with conservative critics such as Rehberg, Möser, and Gentz. This book provides fresh knowledge about a foundational moment for modern political thought and offers a new perspective on Kant's central political concepts, including freedom, rights, citizenship, revolution, and war.

Anyone familiar with Kant's moral theory might guess that he would support resistance or opposition to a government that fails to respect the autonomy of its citizens. At the heart of Kant's moral theory we find the autonomous agent, the person who acts out of an obligation to duty, without regard to external incentives or inclinations. Rather than associating the dignity of a person with wealth or social status, Kant maintains that every person has dignity because each has the capacity to rationally determine the moral law. It follows from this that the Kantian state is one in which everyone is entitled to equal respect before the law. In fact, Kant contends that the rational nature of humanity "is the supreme limiting condition of every man's freedom of action" Thus, Kant contends that coercion by the state should only be used insofar as it is necessary in order to protect each person's freedom.

Excerpt from Kant and His Philosophical Revolution Yet, even thus, the immense difficulty of simple statement does not disappear; although Kant left no system in the strict acceptation, his technicalities possess rights that never lapse. I can but say that I have simplified to the best of my ability, and add, that Kant students alone are in a position to realise the obstacles to fluent exposition. As far as may be, I have subordinated moot problems in Kant philology, ' and avoided ramifications which could not be followed up within a space limited by pre arrangement.

Excerpt from Kant and His Philosophical Revolution More, perhaps, than any of the 'Epoch-Makers' whose achievements this Series records, Kant remains 'caviare to the general.' It is hard to reproduce the subtleties of his thought so that the average man may sense their ways, harder still to create vital appreciation of the importance and scope of his speculations. Probably, a profound 'revolution' was never loosed upon the world in such forbidding mien. For, as Kant says himself, "while the greatest care was bestowed upon the matter, little care was expended on the style, or in rendering it easy for the general reader." Further, my task has been made at once more and less difficult by the admirable commentaries upon the Kantian philosophy and its results accessible to English readers now. More difficult, because many matters have been explained with a skill and insight that I cannot pretend to rival. Less difficult, because the path has been blazed so clearly.
