Zreik begins by examining the implicit strategy that guides Kant in making the distinctions that establish the autonomous spheres of happiness, morality, justice, and public order-legitimacy. The organizing principle of autonomy assumes self-sufficiency for each sphere, but Zreik develops a critique of this strategy, highlighting its limitations, costs, and inherent instability. He questions the notion of self-sufficiency and argues that autonomy is a continuous struggle between the forces of separation and unification. Zreik further suggests that we \"read Kant backward,\" reading early Kant in light of late Kant. This reading reveals Kant's strategy of both taking things apart and putting them together, focusing on the joints, transitions, and metastructures of the system. The resulting image is of an intimate yet tragic conflict within Kants thought, leaving us to our own judgment as to where to draw the boundaries between spheres, opening the door for politicizing Kants practical philosophy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 652g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 159 x 236 x 30 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781793638830\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Raef Zreik","offers":[{"title":"Hardback","offer_id":47482031079674,"sku":"9781793638830","price":101.75,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/files\/1751639990222_book.jpg?v=1751754704","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/kants-struggle-for-autonomy-on-the-structure-of-practical-reason-9781793638830","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
