Reviews
'Pollok's book deserves close engagement; it is ... uncommonly demanding, but it is also uncommonly rich.' Yoon H. Choi, Notre Dame Philosophical Review
'... readers will appreciate Pollok's well-researched account of the unity of the critical philosophy and his explanation of how, on Kant's view, we can be bound by norms. It is an important piece of Kant scholarship.' Matthew C. Altman, Journal of the History of Philosophy
'Kant's Theory of Normativity is a fascinating, outstandingly structured and extensive research into the core of Kant's critical philosophy. Its all-encompassing perspective not only casts light on different problematic aspects of Kant's thought but, most importantly, lets the reader realize how these different aspects are all traceable back to reason's attempt to self-legislate its own demands.' Luigi Filieri, Studi Kantiani
