Review Quotes:
From the reviews:
"A very welcome addition to the hitherto sketchy critical literature on Reinhold. ... Giovanni portrays Reinhold's adherence to the abstract ideals of the classical enlightenment as in tension with just those features of post-Kantian idealism ... . invaluable for anyone wanting to understand both the architecture and dynamics of Reinhold's views ... . we should not ignore its apparently intended status as an historically particular and specifically targeted intervention within the pedagogy of humankind, informed by an historical conception of reason and its changing needs." (Paul Redding, Philosophy in Review, Vol. XXXI (4), 2011)
