A selection of the best papers written by Brazilian Kant scholars.
Kant in Brazil is a collected volume of essays conceived at the 2005
International Kant Congress in Sao Paulo as a way to make accessible to
Anglophone Kant scholars some of the best work on Kant produced by
Brazilian scholars. The availability of this material in English for the
first time will promote interaction between North American and Brazilian
scholars as well as enable Anglophone readers worldwide to incorporate
excellent but previously neglected work into their own debates about
Kant.
The book contains an editor's introduction providing an overview of the
institutional structure of Kant studies in Brazil. The essays that
follow, translated from Portuguese, include a survey of the history of
Kant studies in Brazil over the past two centuries as well as
interpretive essays that span the corpus of Kant's work in theoretical
philosophy, ethics, political philosophy, history, aesthetics, and
teleology. Various styles of philosophy are put into practice as well:
analytical, philological, reflective, comparative, displaying the broad
and diverse nature of Brazilian philosophy.
Frederick Rauscher isassociate professor of philosophy at Michigan State

Pontifical Catholic University of Parana, Brazil.
