Bounds of Sense Paperback – 10 April 1975

4.6 out of 5 stars 25 ratings

The Bounds of Sense is one of the most influential books ever written about Kant’s philosophy, and is one of the key philosophical works of the late Twentieth century. Although it is probably best known for its criticism of Kant’s transcendental idealism, it is also famous for the highly original manner in which Strawson defended and developed some of Kant’s fundamental insights into the nature of subjectivity, experience and knowledge. The book had a profound effect on the interpretation of Kant’s philosophy when it was first published in 1966 and continues to influence discussion of Kant, the soundness of transcendental arguments, and debates in epistemology and metaphysics generally.

  • Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 14 August 2017
    This book was recommended to me in 1984 by Sir Alfred Ayer who claimed that it was the best commentary and analysis on Kant's Critique of Pure Reason. Apart from one or two diffficult-to-decipher sentences, I find Professor Strawson a clear writer who also has an expert grasp of the main problems with Kant's ideas. My copy arrived from World of Books in very good condition.

    I have an Honours Degree in Philosophy and had high hopes for this book. I just read a book on Nietzsche named " Nietzsche and Metaphysics" which i found hugely illuminating. I wanted to read someone elses' take on metaphysics, so i picked up this book. I found it very hard to read and frustrating, not very direct; i gave up on it after a few chapters. There are other, easier to read books out there which you will find more pleasurable and more rewarding

    Book was fine. Back cover had a significant crease, unfortunately.
