Another example: one author (Allais) defends "reading the Critique forward" (47) - by which she means reading the Transcendental Analytic in light of the Aesthetic - while another (Conant) defends the opposite strategy (129-130). On the latter point, for example, some authors are particularly concerned to view Kant's ideas against the background of his predecessors' positions, while others focus on the internal dynamics of his views, and yet others underscore the relationship between his ideas and contemporary philosophy. Different chapters can be fruitfully compared with regard to both content and general approach. Its fourteen chapters skew towards the latter task they present cutting-edge research by scholars at various stages of their careers on some central themes and arguments of the first Critique. This book is the newest installment in the Cambridge Critical Guides series, which aims to "serv the twin tasks of introduction and exploration" (1).
