| book description |

In Kantâ€™s Struggle for Autonomy: On the Structure of Practical Reason, Raef Zreik presents an original synoptic view of Kantâ€™s practical philosophy, uncovering the relatively hidden architectonics of Kantâ€™s system and critically engaging with its broad implications. He begins by investigating the implicit strategy that guides Kant in making the distinctions that establish the autonomous spheres: happiness, morality, justice, public order-legitimacy. The organizing principle of autonomy sets these spheres apart, assuming there is self-sufficiency for each sphere. Zreik then develops a critique of this strategy, showing its limits, its costs, and its inherent instability. He questions self-sufficiency and argues that autonomy is a matter of ongoing struggle between the forces of separation and unification. Zreik proceeds to suggest that we â€œread Kant backward,â€ reading early Kant in light of late Kant. This reading reveals Kant's strategy of both taking things apart and putting them together, focusing on the joints, transitions, and metastructures of the system. The image emanating from this account of Kantâ€™s legal and moral philosophy is of an intimate yet tragic conflict within Kantâ€™s thoughtâ€”one that leaves us to our own judgment as to where to draw the boundaries between spheres, opening the door for politicizing Kant's practical philosophy.
