Summary: Guyer, Kant and the Law
Comment: Guyer's analysis of the some of the deep infrastructure of the works of Kant is truly deft. With great facility, he moves among the Groundwork, the First, Second and Third Critiques, and some of Kant's notes to lend new insight to the four-fold versions of the Categorical Imperative. I believe these insights are valuable. In particular, he shows how the FKE and the FA are related to and supplement the FUL. He also elucidates that inner and outer freedom are the fundamental values in the Kantian system, values which adherence to the CI preserves and promotes.
However, regarding his analysis of the Doctrine of Right, he is seriously mistaken that the move from the state of nature to the civil condition is some kind of bargain that promises each participant a piece of the pie, so to speak. This move to the civil condition is not a bargain, but a duty based on a categorical imperative to secure rights that are only provisional. The motive for the move is to secure a system of intelligible possession not to secure a particular amount of property. His analysis is Rawlsian and make the same error as Rawls in identifying this theory with that of Kant's.
Despite this drawback, this book is a must for those interested in deepening their understanding of the Doctrine of Right and the Doctrine of Virtue.
