The Revolutionary Kant offers a new appreciation of Kant s classic arguing that Kant s reform of philosophy was far more radical than has been previously understood. The book examines his proposed revolutionary reform -- to abandon traditional metaphysics and point philosophy in a new direction -- and contends that critics have misrepresented conflicts between Kant and his predecessors. Kant Bird argues was not a flawed innovator but an advocate of a new philosophical project one that began to be appreciated only in the twentieth century.
