<DIV>Immanuel<B>Kant is undoubtedly one of the most important thinkers in the history of<B>philosophy. He is also notoriously difficult for beginners to understand. <EM>Starting with Kant</EM> offers a genuinely<B>accessible introduction to the metaphysics, theory of knowledge, and moral<B>philosophy of this hugely influential figure. It assumes no prior acquaintance<B>with his ideas.<B></DIV><DIV> </DIV><DIV>Thematically<B>structured, the book opens with a completely non-technical overview of the<B>development of Kant's mature thought, resulting in a wide-ranging understanding<B>of his famous and ground breaking ‘Copernican revolution in metaphysics'. The<B>book evaluates the basic framework of his metaphysical outlook, and sets out<B>its implications for his theory of knowledge and moral philosophy. Kant's<B>position in these fields is related to other philosophers of his period so that<B>a number of his seminal ideas can be clearly understood through an appreciation<B>of their opposing views. This is the ideal introduction for anyone coming to<B>the work of his hugely important thinker for the first time.<B></DIV>
