“The text rendered by Pluhar is the work of an expert translator. . .
the virtues of his text are manifold; his translation exhibits an
incontrovertible mastery of both English and German. Equally important
is the fact that Pluhar has given the original a very close read during
the act of translating. . . . Pluhar consistently resists the tendency
to translate woodenly word-for-word. . . . In point of fact, accuracy of
translation stands in no direct relation to literalness; it is much
more a product of meticulous textual reading and skilful writing, and in
this respect Pluhar has no modern equals in English Kant translation.”
—James Jakob Fehr, Kant-Studien
“Pluhar maintains a fine, even tone throughout. . . . Those who have
found the prospect of teaching the third Critique daunting will admire
its clarity. . . . No one will be disappointed.”
—Timothy Sean Quinn, The Review of Metaphysics
On Critique of Practical Reason:
At once accurate, fluent, and accessible, Werner Pluhar's rendering of the Critique of Practical Reason meets the standards set in his preeminent translations of the Critique of Judgment (1987) and the Critique of Pure Reason (1996).
Stephen Engstrom's Introduction discusses the place of the second Critique in Kant's critical philosophy, its relation to Kant’s ethics, and its practical purpose and provides an illuminating outline of Kant's argument.
