On Critique of Pure Reason:

 

“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

 

 

On Critique of Judgment:


“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.
